Thread: The Gaper Spirit Animal

I think the Whistler Mags need to be on the lookout this weekend. I'd like to see some additional documentation. If this is for real, there's no way we shouldn't have more pics tomorrow. Don't get busted snapping the photo.

It's definitely the same guy. You can clearly see the second GoPro™ mounting point on the back of his helmet.

Looks like you were right, after the sighting in Whistler, maybe he will take a trip south to our playgrounds.

YEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!

Fuck yeah. Made my year!

So far we've got....

Snowbird, UT - January 2012
NYC gym - February 2012

Hmm, the recent storms in PNW seem to have caused GSA to start his journey north earlier than I otherwise would have thought. It also appears he has shed at least one camera - a typical spring event for the adult male of the species.

Wonder if it will be like with elk antlers where more and bigger ones grow back???

OMG, poaching the ski school line at Whistler. Perhaps he is rolling with Max, training for AK, No?

Kyber, it's all on you now! Alert LeeLau!

and then my wife asked "what are you doing?"

"well, honey, i'm tracking the location of a single awesome individual, neigh deity, across the continental US through the power of the TGR intarweb ski boards!"

she looked at me funny, but i know deep down inside she's jealous of the powers of the forum i frequent!

In some of the pictures the GSA is seen messing with the bio-mechanical interface (bindings). Indeed in one picture the GSA is accompanied by an on-mountain technician. Could there be some advanced technology that we are not aware of? Has anyone actually witnessed the GSA in motion?

STFU!!! Did you immediately shat your pants and begin offering praise and gifts of charged gopro batteries??

I am speechless. I have to see some vid of the GSA in motion. (Does this make a question of my faith?)


Love the poetry in homage to the GSA. Keep it coming.

I have to ask why you didn't follow him and film / photograph his steeze? Were you worried about not being able to keep up?
I'll be keeping an eye out for him.

Someone in Whistler needs to covertly POV the GSA while on the hunt.

I just spent 45 minutes explaining to my wife what a forum really is - how it can be a window into deeper dimensions of the universe, opening our collective mind to the holiest of apparitions which remain hidden to the individual. I think she's concerned with my excitement and enthusiasm for sightings, especially when I tell her that soon we will all be asking each other if you believe. The pinnacle manifestation of the GSA is first a story summary in a "trendings and viral media" segment on Good Morning America followed by an interview with his attorney. The attorney is the final prophet and signifies the end of all time and space is at hand.

I turned my 12 yr old (girl) onto the GSA. I expected a "that's nice dad, you are so weird", but no, she's right into it. She wants to go to Whistler right now.

^^ Jaja111, Did you explain your boner as well? That was a tough sell for my wife.

Sure. I used the same explanation too. (Also works for why I should get a new bike, why we shouldn't redo the kitchen, why we should move west, why the lawn doesn't need mowing yet, etc.)

Holy Shit!!! I hoped against hope for an opportunity to worship in person, and lo, my prayers have been answered.

Prophet Powder11 has truly been blessed. I was just going to sit in the patrol shack and drink coffee tomorrow, but my heart swells with purpose.

Double post. Sorry. This has me so excited my hands tremble

Same here!! My 12 yr old girl is an avid skier, and milk came blowing out of her nose when I showed her the very first GSA pics. She's a dedicated follower now...

I thought the guy was loading the chair behind, but we may have been last up on GE as patrol sweep was right behind and nobody else was coming up behind. I think the realness of the GSA caught me off guard, otherwise I would've been more on the ball! Just noticed this one on my phone, I managed to get off two shots of the GSA in my haste!

^^^ Yeah, my girl shreds too. It was obvious she felt an instant kinship.

A pic "sans costume" is needed. Like getting photos of SLIPKNOT or KISS without the stage getup..

Add my 14-y-o son to the GSA Youth Auxiliary.
