    Park City Film Gaper Apparel

    Dumbass reporter thinks dumbass winter wear is cool schwag for Park City Film Festival hardcore gapers.
    They even published my comment calling it gaper wear.


    The V.I.P. suite at the Sheraton Park City in Utah where certain Sundance Film Festival attendees were given special-edition puffers by Canada Goose.

    Sundance was always a trip. Remember my second go in UT after it got huge, in the early 2000s all these LA types would roll in in matching silver down jackets, like that but silver TNF.

    I used to score PC passes from a friend at Delta, and it was the only time of year i used em.

    If a storm rolls through during sundance it can be the best time ski any of the Park City resorts. All the hotels and rental units are full of non-skiers and the mountains are empty.

    The biggest pro-tip is to count to 5 at every intersection before proceeding when a red light turns green. Chances are a SUV from out of state will slide through the intersection because the driver doesn't understand that 4WD doesn't help stopping distance on ice. That and avoid downtown if at all possible, do a liquor store and costco run the week before and don't go near main st if you can avoid it.
    Three fundamentals of every extreme skier, total disregard for personal saftey, amphetamines, and lots and lots of malt liquor......-jack handy

    Super Bowl Sunday. Today, my wife is at the Gloria Steinem movie. Great...that’s all I need. She will be on her high horse tonight.
    I did see a good jazz related flick the other day (Sylvie’s Love).

    The writer failed to specify if these jackets are really worth owning. Considering the absolute plethora of skiwear out there that is fashionable, the freebies this company gives away are not that great. Upon first glance, it appears the baffles are sewn-through, meaning it's the cheapest build to do for down.

    But, hey, what do these Hollywood types know? You tell them it's cool and they apparently run with that. But only gapers would wear that gear on a real ski day. And, with this article, the gapers will think they they're cool.

    What does Sundance festival have to do with skiing? It's like saying Davos WEF is about skiing.

    I'm sure the Davos WEF participants eat McDonalds and act like it's special.

    Trump being the exception.

    It actually does. It’s a week in a ski town in the middle of ski season that creates empty slopes so that local skiers can enjoy the mountain.

    Post assumes recipients actually ski, and if so, will wear this skiing.

    Is it too much to ask for that these Park City Canada Goose's end up being counterfeit?
