I don't know if this counts as a gaper quote since I live a couple hundred miles from the nearest ski area. But:

Neighbor to me just now: "Why are you ironing your skis in the driveway?"
And of...

Not really a gaper since this kid rips, but he has a good sense of humor for a 7 year-old.

What's gaper about that? That's rock fucking solid truth right there.

telemike - that pic was last July 4 at Alpine. There was more snow then than there is now.

Came out from lunch today. You know how people sometimes separate their skis so they won't get stolen. I see a single skinny ski sticking up above most others around it.

Guy separated his Rossi...

Skiing with a bunch of instructors in a clinic yesterday. They were from the resort next door, but after a summer acquisition, we're all one big resort now. Plus they've all skied here more than a...

Patroller's too. What is it about pressing the mic button that creates brain farts?

Holy shit. Good second post too. You might fit in. Now post some nekkid pics of your sister/gf/wife in the ullr thread.

Yesterday was full-on ice coast skiing at Alpine Meadows. The first time in my 12 years of skiing in California where I'd say we had actual ice to ski. It was loud and nasty everywhere after rain the...

I know a maggot who has his like that. He did it because it could only go on one side of his camper and the one he has only opens on one side.

We could probably make an entire thread out of gaper crap that people on Gapic post. But this one made me laugh. The best was when the guy got all butthurt when people made fun of him.

Gaper quote's on you. Lots of people do it that way. A lot of the new lace-up liners require it. Seems like a major PITA to me, but I watch instructors and racers do it all the time.

/\/\ That's what I thought.

Stop that skibum. That's fucking mean.

OK, they can push some snow around on a steep enough run to get things started. But...

You make a competition bump line by getting a large crew of good...

Sounds like a tele board and it is as crazy looking as it sounds.

Only works with full-on Chief Inspector Clouseau / Swiss Hotelier Peter Sellers accent.

Not surprising. There's a pair of coyotes that live in the valley. I've never seen them IN the parking lot, but all around it routinely.

I can't believe someone tried to pet one.

That's not true. At least the way he told the story, he lived up to his side of the responsibility code. He avoided colliding with a downhill skier.

She took a swing at you? WTF? Had to be from...

Definitely not a gaper move to wear a beacon inbounds at Squaw if the past couple years are any indication. If he's wearing it on the outside of his clothes, then its a poseur move, but not a gaper...

Conversation on chairlift this weekend.
Future Popsicle: The snow is awesome over in Estelle.
Me: Patrol just closed it because of slides.
FP: I don't have to worry about that.
Me: Huh?
FP: I...

You haven't seen people with their boot buckles on the insides (i.e. boots on wrong feet)? I have. Also sometimes see pigeon toed snowboarders. See people riding snowboards backwards (bindings set...

Actually, it was the kids who called their friends gapers. :rolleyes2 I had to tell them that wasn't nice. I'll never forget my daughter telling her older brother's friend that he had a huge gaper...

My kids learned at about age 8 that when they have friends like this who want to ski with them that they have to switch equipment (daughter to skis, son to snowboard) in order to be able to go slow...

If she said she was from "Cali" she's from southern california. No one up north ever says that. Same with putting "the" in front of a freeway number. Sounds like they wouldn't want her at Squaw...

Clearly you are just not core enough.

Go for it. I don't recall who I stole it from.

/\/\ I call that "making boarduroy."

I just remembered one from a long time ago. Back in the day of tighter ski pants, I wore my knee brace on the outside of my pants. One English woman remarks to husband "Oh, look how well he skis with...
