    gaper list

    So I was out today at a local spot trying to avoid the spring break crowds and came up with some gaper observations. I did a search function and haven't found a list yet, so I thought I would start one. Any additions, corrections, etc. would be great.

    You might be a gaper if….

    10. You think corduroy is better than fresh powder
    9. You slowly traverse the whole run from side to side
    8. You stop at the bottom of a roller
    7. You put the bar down on the chairlift and don't give a heads up
    6. You carry your skis in such a way that it hits everyone and everything in your path
    5. You snowplow all the way down a blue run
    4. You tuck and put your poles straight up in the air on a catwalk
    3. You wear a starter jacket
    2. You wear jeans
    1. You wonder why your forehead gets cold

    Hey gaper - try doing this once. I seriously doubt your gaper legs will make it down half the run.

    If you do a little turn on the catwalk, yeah, on the catwalk.

    (Turning on "catwalks" is gary and unnecessary. But it can be somewhat redeemed if "I'm... too sexy for my skis" or something similar is vocalized...)
