It is second hand but one of my favourites is:
"These skiing conditions are fantastic!"

In the last 48 hours, I heard the 114" we've had so far described as "en epic snow year" and once again got comments about the fatness of my 76mm metrons.

Girlski:"Other notable gaper moves that nearly sent me through the roof on Sunday as we were driving to the hill- wet but bare roads and a line up a mile long to put chains on. WTF?"
As a Puget sounder I was always curious about that also....jeeps, subarus, 4-runners, X-terras all chaining up on a bare, wet road up to Hood. Oh well, better safe than sorry, right? Anyhoo..last year at the top of Whistler, looking off to this magnificent black, sharp tusk off in the distance. One texan to another: "You reckon that's the black tusk??" Silence and dropped jaws from all of us in the peanut gallery....

A few of my overheard favorites:
"At what altitude do the caribou turn into moose?"
and asked at The Club in Valdez (the window behind the bar is about 50' from the harbor)......."What is the elevation here?""You got to express what is taboo in you and share your freak with the rest of us, cause it's a beautiful thing"

If you get caught in an avalanche be sure to make yourself into a ball so you can dig out when the slide stops.
I can't believe you are a rando racer because I look so much better in Lycra than you.
People who don't think the Earth is flat haven't skied Vail.

Saw these on a list from jellystone/Teton Nat'l Park/JH.
"When do you let the animals out of their cages (not refering to the local people)"
"Aren't there any rides here"
"Why do I have to walk so far (on the paved trails)"
"Does that happen often (in reference to old faithful)"
"How hot are those (you mean the boiling water coming out of the earth)"
"Are you allowed to hunt those animals (in reference to buffalo on the road)"
"Who can I ask to turn off the snowmakers (real snow falling)"
"Can I go there" - random, solo, way out in the BC
JH tram riders with no gear to ride down "That was boring, we couldn't see anything" It was dumping at the base at the same time. Miss those days.You can't get hurt in the air.
When in trouble, do a double.
Speed is always your friend.

Looking at some Volkl Katanas in the shop:

People didn't understand because the quote is:
"Me fail english? That's unpossible."
Irregardless is a bastard child of irrespective and regardless and because of idiots around the world has been added to the dictionary.

Last weekend I was standing in the lift line with my 8 year old daughter. Earlier in the day she had heard me use the term gaper. She looks up at me and asks, "Dad what's a gaper?" Before I could answer a guy blows through the "SLOW" sign and runs into me. "Well there you have it sweetie" I'm pretty sure she got the point.
JayFive minutes into the drive and you're already driving me crazy...

Lift line at Sugarbush a few years back, one guy turns to another and asks if he has ever been over to MRG. The second guy says he has been once but won't go back until they update the place with some nice amenities like slope side condos, better gooming and a village at the base. The first guy says, "oh, it's not as nice as Tremblant"?
It wasn't really the conversation that gave them away. Full blown Spyder outfits and Metrons tend to do it before they ever speak..................

Rumour around here that a group of tourists sat in the Peak to Peak cable car sitting outside the roundhouse on Whistler, and couldn't understand why it wasn't running.
The car is just there for show, they havn't built the thing yet
