Just remember one from last year, some kid on the lift asked me if I had ever been outback skiing, I replied, I don't think there is skiing in the outback, it is the australian desert after all.

i went on a date last week with a "skier" from my area

while at dinner:
him: omg i hate the park and all the kids that ski in it
me: what why? thats lame
him: none of them know how to ski all they do is just jump off little jumps and thats it
me: wow, thats not very nice.. do you know any of them? and i really don't think you know what you are talking about
him: whatever they just don't know how to ski
me: HA...... alright... so i'm not even going to ask if you like park or pow better
him: oh park for sure
me: WHAT? you just spent like 5 mins bashing on it!
him: i ski park sometimes
me: WHAT???
him: and i hate powder you can't go fast in it and its dumb
me: wow are you serious... like really dude? then you don't know how to ski... not going to lie you are making me kinda mad

him: like 3 years

last weekend after skiing a run switch I get into the lift line an this gaper taps me on the shoulder and I take my ear bud out and he says something like "wow your pretty good at skiing in reverse", I know he used the phrase skiing in reverse but not sure bout the exact quote.

older gaper (prob around 30-40) on big emma @ snowbird points out to one of his friends that I have no poles,
gaper: "did you loose your poles?"
me: "no - just having fun"
gaper: "how are you going to ski this with out any poles?"
me: /sommersault -> ski away

MOST EPIC GAPER MOMENT EVER:

So first of all I ski up into the line of Gad 2 @ Snowbird and I see this in front of me and start laughing my ass off quietly then pull out my phone - I HAD TO TAKE A PICTURE!:
Photobucket
 
I point it out to my bro, that the guy is rocking 2 completly different skis with different bindings that are 210s.  Then about a minute later a gaper to the left of the guy says "oh look, he has two different skis too! is it a new thing to use two different skis?"  (I have the yeller & white Scratch BCs from 07).

The name of the terrain park at Mount Saint Louis Moonstone is "The Outback", there's a very slim possibility he could have meant that?

Going back to a ski shop in Whistler after they mounted the bindings 1cm differently on both skis, and then being asked by the sales girl whether I had wanted the bindings to be put in different places...

Yellow Jacketed Mountain Host Lady:  You were skiing backwards - I've never seen anyone ski backwards before!

Me:  You must not ski here very often.

k this isnt really a quote but something funny last night that happend. So i was night skiing, waiting for some friends and i was solo in the lift line. I was next to go and this huge gaper rolls up next to me, wearing thick, horned rimmed glasses, which obscure most of his facial region. The people who were in front of me go up to the loading zone for the lift and the chair hasnt even come around yet and the guy next to me wizzez down assuming he can go, he was oblivious to the chair coming in behind him at a high speed. It all happend so fast i didnt have time to laugh, the chair smacked the guy and he went flying.  It was hillarious. Everyone was just like "Ooooh". unfortanately for me he got up and resumed his spot next to me. i had to endure his gaperness for the whole ride.

and we wonder why skiing isnt growing faster, couldnt it be all this disrespect for entry level riders. the next time any of you think about talkin shit realize you too started skiing one day and yes you were a fuckin gaper for a while. not many of you talkin shit get payed so you should probably practice what you preach.

believe it or not, but i saw a guy wearing his helmet the wrong way, he was like 40 yrs or something, but still. it was a helmet that didnt go lower than your ears so it was kinda possible, i skied pass him when he was standing there and laughed so hard that his wife recognized what was going on (maybe she looked at my helmet, both were r.e.ds)...

i thought this one was actually kinda a intelligent gaper quote:

our "crew" was at a local demo show and we had three hits each on a (not-too-well-built) 30 ft kicker. well (not that were capable of a lot more), we pulled down rodeo/switch 5s, zeros and bio 7s because of the conditions. after the show we put our jackets, skis & boots in the car and rolled up the pants (i guess i dont need to mention beanies/oversized shirts here).

so as were walking around a guy comes up and is like: "well, you guys are great skiers, really, but in dressing up, your beginners"

its been the most intelligent "man-your-clothes-are-too-huge"-quote i ever got. i smiled appreciatory at him, cuz i knew i cant beat that one..

ok ill agree with you to a point. most of these are harmless and fun, and most people involved (im talking about the gapers of course) would more than likely have no way of knowing you are making fun of them. but i have seen a few that are a bit unwarranted, like an NSer making fun of an honest question asked by a young park newb

you probably get made fun of for your gaper gap. and the last sentence doesn't even make sense.

today at copper i heard some woman talking to her kid about the "greaseboxes" in the park.

A few from Winterplace, WV

First, a few things:
The southeast US has a very high percentage of gapers. Winterplace in WV is "The church group" resort and has the easiest terrain, and is all about beginners. I was there (fo free) over MLK weekend, the busiest, most crowded, and most gaperific weekend of the season, where they had some 500 church groups. When you see the liftline, half have their pants tucked into their boots. A quarter have those terrible 'crazy hats'(you know the colorful ones with dreads and stuff that are in the movie, jonny tsunami).

I get on the lift. first thing these people wearing Charlotte Hornets starter jackets say:
"So what church group are you here with?"

A guy is asking me about my 'double ended skis' (line invaders), looks down and says, "Wow. I didn't know SPY made skis. I have a friend that owns most of the company and he never said anything about that."
Me-"That's a sticker."
Guy-"Oh"

Not so much a quote,
Me and my friends are hiking the park at night(the mountain is flat as shit, and theres shit house lift lines). My friend put his jacket on the slow sign at the top of the park. While were are sessioning a flat down box, we see this gaper snowboarder wearing camo (fat too) take the jacket off the sign and try to ride down with it. We all saw and started yelling at him. He put the jacket back and tried to use some BS and say he was returning it to lost and found since it had been there for 3 hours. He eventually confessed that he was trying to steal it and he said, "Well I wouldnt have tried to steal it if I knew you guys were right there watching it." No shit, great west virginia education for you there.

In the park, there aren't any jumps, just 2 boxes and a rail. All the gapers are jumping off the side of the jumps to the rails. I overheard a gaper say, "Why do they put all these metal grind bars behind the jumps?"

Overheard in the lodge:
"Make sure you bundle up kids. Theres a frostbite warning today." Low:25*F High 34*F


Later, overheard in the liftline, "You fellas know how much them snowmakers cost? I bet you could pick a couple up at the home depot for about a hundred bucks."

my favorite is when they fall and dont realize they have to pop the heel piece up before they can click back in. Its the best when they are on the same trail for 15 minutes before someone says something
