I just got home from skiing a real mountain. No good gaper stories from up there (sunday nights = empty) but I got home and read this:

This was on Blackcomb American Thanksgiving weekend. It had recently rained and refrozen with about 1 cm of fresh snow on top of an icy crust. This exchange took place at the top of Solar Coaster:
Hot shot middle-aged American tourist racer dad #1: Woooo, you're gonna like this!
Hot shot middle-aged American tourist racer dad #2: Freshies?!
Hot shot middle-aged American tourist racer dad #1: YEAH!

Way to bring the funny, thoughtful, insightful humor to the thread. Or at least something of value. You make me laugh.

I truly like to read this thread, but may I gently suggest that we refrain from post concerning 1)how wide our skis are 2) where they put the moguls in the summer, 3) deer turning into elk and visa versa, and a few others that escape me at the moment. Leave room for the gems--like the recent avy beacon one, or the Seth one, or the lady who thought the camelback was oxygen.

But how else will I tell everyone here how fat my skis are?
a positive attitude will not solve all of your problems, but it may annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

There's a country music festival at Steamboat right now, along with the 13,000 texans that arrived to yeehaw and look for 'powder areas'. I always get a lot of gaper questions and bizzare comments whenever I ski 'cos a lot of people haven't seen a sitski before.
But today made me smile even more than normal.
While getting into the ski at the base a guy with a cowboy hat was watching and was asking the normal questions; "How do you stop that thing?" Whenever someone asks me that I always say something like "Oh I normally just find a tree or snowboarder to crash into". But this guy started asking more and more questions and obviously didn't have any idea how skis work at all:
Cowboy: How do you steer that thing?
Me: I just get it on edge by leaning and get the ski to work the rest.
Cowboy: Oh yeah, but you must have some kind of steering mechanism on there right?
Me: No, just the ski.
Cowboy: So how do you go straight?
Me: Gravity.
Cowboy: How does that work?
Me: Bye, have a great day.

This gave me quite the kick. On chairlift with some gaper on 160ish race skis. I'm on 195 motherships.
Gaper: wow, how long are those skis?
Me: 195s
Gaper: (laughs) I didn't even know they made skis that long anymore
Me: uhhh yeah
Gaper: I guess all you can do is ski straight down the hill and hope you don't die (laughs)
At that point I just looked away and waited, impatiently, to get off the chair.
