Not a gaper quote but . . . I did see someone skiing with goggles but with no lens in them (I bet they worked great!)

Saw a guy hiking up (inbounds) with his skis mounted A-frame style on his pack, except they were upside down. Tips pointing down, and strapped together in a "V" behind his knees. Seemed awkward.

Best Gaper qoute of the weekend?
At Mary Jane Sunday, two skiers on the chair with us above a bump run.
Skier 1: “Man, they sure love their bumps here. I have no idea why.”
Skier 2: “Well, remember, bumps are really good for snowboarders.”

Great skis in their day, second pair I've seen this season. More power to people who can ski them decently--I would guess still a good bump ski. But 40 (?) Look Nevadas? (N57's I think). I think those were off the indemnified list before there was an indemnified list. I guess if you never fall . . .

Wikipedia says N57 first model with optional brakes but I have zero first hand knowledge. I never skied them, just admired people who did.
Ahh the joys of safety straps and long thongs. (For you young whippersnappers out there, long thongs are not a kind of women's underwear.)

I saw a guy last week with an iphone on his forehead and half-tucked in his goggles for what I bet was some sweet POV footie.

57 toes/17 heels. 57 heels went to the lip like modern technology.
Yeah forward brakes were great for harvesting limbs.

Overheard on an Aspen Mountain gondola a few weeks back. Me riding solo with a couple in their 60s, quaintly chatting to each other about a pressing social engagement:
She: Did you see the email from Sharon about hosting a Bloomberg event?
He: Yes, I did. It seems like a lot of work
She: I agree, but I think they have "people" for that. They'll handle with everything.
He: I'm just concerned about the guess list. If we can't choose who comes, I don't want to deal with it.
She: yeah, but it wouldn't be terrible to get closer to him. And I could put up with one night of people over.
He: Right, maybe he can do us some favors...
The last part was just bleeding with ego and greed. Maybe it was a self-styled NYC power broker mag I'm not aware of???

Sounds more power broker than gaper...
I ski 135 degree chutes switch to the road.

Somewhere there's a power broker forum, and they are talking about this gaper they saw in a goldola in Aspen, who didn't even have people to deal with the people who throw a party, and didn't have Bloomberg on his speed dial.
