gaper:

A gaper is a skiier or snowboarder who is completely clueless. Usually distiungished by their bright colored clothes and a gaper gap, the gap between goggles and a helment/hat. Gapers also do the "Gaper Tuck" which is an attempt at being a ski racer by tucking, however, it is done incorrectly with the poles sticking straight up. Gapers also sit at the bottom of jumps and try and go big off table tops in the park.

(adding to the bottom) but either come up short, or overshoot massively.

There is an excellent definition in the January (posiibly december) issue of powder

gapers still wear rearentry boots and 210 straight skis and think that "shaped skis" are a new thing
