overheared during a storm day with about five feet of new having fallen in the previous three days.
Snowboarder: "That jump was TIGHT! You know that powder jump."

Heard all of the following riding up the Outback chair at Keystone on Friday.
"I hate when I sink in the snow because there is too much of it"
"What do they do with the moguls in the summer?"
"What happens to the snow in the summer? Does it all melt away?"

In the Tram at Jay yesterday
as were going over the face, a steepish shot with some technical terrain to pick through, totally skiable
Gaper: Why do they even have the face open. Its not like you can ski it. All you can do is slide down it sideways. Its a total waste.
Me: Its not a waste if you know how to ski, and turn
Gaper: You mean to tell me you can ski that?
Me: Yeah, and I even turn a few times
Gaper: Ok, prove it, i wanna see your ass roll down it
I then proceed to show him exactly how skiable it is. And I didnt even ski it aggressively. Shut him right the fuck upLive

Me - wearing tights, running shoes and down jacket while plowing the VP parking lot: "Hey Adam, you know what I like best about driving the plow truck?"
Adam: "You can do it in your underwear?"I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

Told to me by a friend last week.
Scene: The Looney Bean (coffee shop) in Mammoth. Told to the barrista.
Gaper 1 : "Yeah. We're gonna go shred the Negatives."
Keep in mind that Gaper 1 and the rest of the crew were wearing their beacons and were beeping while IN the coffee shop. Also, the Negatives are sidecountry off JUNE MOUNTAIN, a solid 20 miles from the coffee shop.

Someplace recently in Summit Co. don't really remember when or where, two different people on the same day looked at my bro's and said "man those look pretty old." I just don't get it...
Best line I've ever heard (last years though, so it doesn't REALLY count)
While riding up blue sky basin at Vail a guy had fallen bellow the lift and was taking a while getting his skis back on. His friends response...
"What's the matter, you got snow in your vagina up there?"Last edited by Out_to_lunch; 03-02-2008 at 03:24 PM.

"does this trail take you to the bottom, or do I have to hike back to get on a different one?"
I told him to just keep pointing it downhill. not witty enough in time

Teenage girl at half-way station with safety-bar down and a 30 minute wait, everybody was yelling at her to put the safety bar up and scoot over so a person could get on so she says," What? I am not getting off here (mid-way station with an uphill incline as the ramp) and then she just persues riding the lift by herself

not so much a gaper moment, as I'm pretty sure this kid was a decent skier but I was still cracking up -
get to the midway unloading station while he is talking about how wide his skis are/how many pairs he has/ how he got 3 pairs for $300 at his shop (fun to get these guys going). so the kid forgets to pull one of his poles up, too deep in brag mode, and the thing drags on the carpet, gets sucked under the chair, makes a sound that was similar to a beluga whale during mating season, and snaps.
"Ahh fuck, those are my new poles (but I got them for free). Am I that stupud?"
Yes. Yes, you are.
"Dude, I don't think they let you ride with a broken pole like that, you could impale a baby."boy man god shit

Skyline Express Lift, Blue Sky Basin, Vail, couple weeks ago.
Random Guy, tricked out in Lange race boots, Kjus jacket, Mantras: Is the snow good somewhere today?
Me: Excuse me?
RG: Is the snow good somewhere? I mean, hardly anything is skiable today.
(Yes, there was some consolidated crud, but also some good snow, and it was snowing pretty good.)
Me: Well. . . (pointing) snow's pretty good over there on Iron Mask and Lover's Leap. A bit chalky, but pretty soft, and it's accumulating.
RG stares at me, wide-eyed, for a moment.
RG: Oh, so you're, like. . . extreme!
Hardly.

in all honesty, whats the difference between a "halfpipe" and a "ditch?" Do all other countries call it a "halfpipe?"

this isnt from real recent, but a couple years ago I heard this at Snow Summit down in Socal, where they pretty much make all their snow...
"That was nice! They left the snow machines on for longer while i was skiing down and got some powder skiing!" wow

riding up Sugarloaf a couple weeks ago with an Aussie couple (the accent is very important to the hilariousness imo). They ask me where I'm going to ski that run, I tell them I'm going to wait for Devils Castle to open (I had just spoke with a patroller who said they were heading up for the last pass through)...
Aussie Gaper: "You've got all this mountain 'ere and you're gonna WAIT to ski on the part o'er there? Looks the same to me"
Me: silence

Riding chair 2 at Loveland yesterday, and it stops. Again. I hear an instructor below telling clients in pink jackets and fanny packs, "Now this is rated green on the trail map, but it would normally be a blue!"
Awesome. Way to hold back the ability level, buddy! Real strong work. Intimidation is definitely the best tactic for inspiring confidence.
Maybe not a total gaper quote per se, but it still irked me some.
Last Tuesday, I had some token "wow, they're so wide!" comment about my Lotuses, to which I replied "Obviously, you're not a golfer." That made me chuckle."I said flotation is groovy"

theres nothing i enjoy more than leading gapers into saying ridiculous shit. whenever a snowlerblader rides the lift with me its an awesome time. praxis are a curse in that you always get the fat ski comment, but that comment always starts a conversation that can be directed toward ridiculous things.

I was riding Casper today. Tourist looks up at Casper Bowl and says..."I heard that the bomb that bowl. Do they ever groom it?"
I explain a little bit, that there is no lift access, you have to hike, it's really, really steep,etc.
He says "Why on earth would a ski area have a place with no lift access? That's just dumb. "
I laughed, but seeing that the plan is for East Ridge chair to be moved to the headwall, in reality he nailed Jerry Blann's feelings on the subject at hand.Forum Cross Pollinator, gratuitously strident
