That's hilarious that it was at SSV....I would have laughed my ass off if I heard that.

So you were skiing at Sunshine (and have not seen GNAR)? I think we know who the real gaper is.

Fully agreed, that movie was easily one of the greatest ski flicks I have ever seen.

at work tonight some old gaper lady looking at a stuffed mountain lion: "Is that a coyote?"
me: "no it's a mountain lion"
gaper lady: "what's the difference?"
me: "one is a cat the other is a dog"
gaper lady: "so, this is a dog"
me: "ya"
This lady was like 60 something. How can you reach that age and still not know a lion is a fucking cat?

On Saturday I saw a guy who must have had his bindings mounted backwards, because I could see his tails flapping around from the chair.

+1. Biggest gaper of my weekend.


2nd biggest: Standing in line at Gold Coast at Squaw. This lift has a GIANT blue square painted on it. It's huge. You could easily see it from space.

"Does this lift serve anything other than blacks?"

From epic.

However, I found the S3 very limiting on soft groomers-what you normally encounter on days when there is powder to be had.

Balls of fucking steel. If you want, I can come teabag you after I'm done fucking your mother, sister and girlfriend tomorrow night, you worthless cumguzzling JONG.

After 900 posts here, that is the best you can do? Really?

And yes, I'm in an "engineering" program at a school that also has a college of technology, with a bunch of BS classes like that. Fuck it, if I can get credit to go ski I'll sure as hell go for it. If you could handle the other 21 credits I've got this semester that I might give a fuck what you say. In the mean time, remember why your sister isn't quite walking right in the morning.

When you've finished your little paper chase, come join me in the real world and I'll show you what real degrees can buy you .. in the mean time, enjoy your second-rate education and keep on pretending you're hard.

A bunch of Thai ladyboys?

Not a quote, but yesterday at Breck the couple loading E Chair in front of us made the liftie stop the lift so they could get on. Well, the liftie stopped the lift (BOOOOO!) and right when the woman went to take a seat, the lift rolled back and she fell flat on her ass. The liftie then did nothing to help the woman floundering around on the snow. The woman got herself together with the help of her husband and they were off. The liftie that stopped the lift then got an earful from her superior on not stopping the lift. "You tell them, NO!!"

If that swings your hammer, sure .. I don't judge.

yesterday's keystone base area shitshow, after closing down the gondola due to wind, everyone was at the quad and the line was EPIC, including the singles line which wasn't moving quickly and many 3-somes were loading without singles. The line attendants, or scanners or whatever you call those guys who do nothing but wave their majik wands around and then let you go by were doing nothing for line control at all, a total free-for-all, basic keystone scene. (ok i'm the gaper for being at keystone in the first place)

Anyway we get to the spot that the lanes finally merge for the last time and the 3-some in front of us passed by the single's line without picking up a single, because the lift attendants were slow to scan and not even trying to pair singles up. So I say to my friend next to me that people really should be calling for singles when they know they need a single, and the line is crazy long. so this lady in the middle of the 3-some in front of us (red stretch pants, looking like queen of the hill) now past the point of picking up a single, must have overheard me because she starts shouting and waving her hands in the air to the singles line that they need a single. But it's far too late for one to squeeze through, I'm like "no, it's too late now" but she's on a mission. So somehow she convinces the next single to cut the rope, and ski up on the other side of the metal guard rail to where the lift operator stands so he can hop on with them at the last second, but this confuses the lifty, and he's like WTF. Now the kicker, the lady is so intent on picking up that single, that she argues with the lifty as an EMPTY CHAIR passes in front of them. At this point we are just laughing too much to care, although much booing from the rest of the line.

Crazy start to a craptastic keystone day!

as the sun starts to appear in a big sucker hole, some guy yells out to the rest of the liftline "look everybody, its going to go blueberry!"

^ i like.

"a fine blueberry day"

He finally rolls up to me and says "I really need to tell you something", so I say all confused "what??" He looks me straight in the eye and says "I'm the best skier on this mountain" with a completely straight face.

I really hope he was fucking with me. Ridiculous.

This.
is.
Awesome.

Alright....I exonerate you. The story didnt make sense, but I am glad you werent supporting acting like a prick. I appreciate the good gaper joke, but also get annoyed at asshole locals who are mean for no reason. Carry-on.

Silverado lift lines on a powder day can be pretty bad but it is fun to bombard with snow balls anyone riding up a chair that isn't full. .

The link to the video thisisastickup is talking about is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atIb7ozivKM . It's funny, I had watched the video 10 or 12 times and never saw the drop at the beginning until he just mentioned it. Definitely strange to watch someone break their leg while riding straight through wide open terrain.

-TTT

A friendly Monday bump for everyone who has broken a bone, and like me, didn't have the benefit of a GoPro to record the sound for perpetuity.

said by me on a lift full of guys.. "its ridiculous how excited I am for 5 inches"

While I didn't "hear" it, it should be noted that on Park City's website under FAQs is this gem" "Where do they store the moguls in the summer time?"

I'm not sure what I enjoyed more... the question itself, or the fact that it's apparently been asked often enough that it warranted a place on the FAQ page

You've got it backwards. Kokanee is good stuff. Molson is watered down fermented seal pee.
