I'm sure most of you ride with snowboarders, so you might appreciate this.

One time I was getting on the lift with a friend, it was a quad, so the lifty threw two more on with us. Up come these two snowboarders, with their back foot strapped in, pushing with their front foot. We load onto the lift and I said, "Do you guys realize you were getting on the lift...kinda backwards?" And they showed confusion, so I asked what their lead foot was. Both pointed to the unstrapped foot. So I said "Well you know, you should just strap in with that foot, and push with the other. Would make things a lot easier for you. Look at me." They told us they had never been to a mountain that big before (mind you I'm from a small hill in NY), they didn't know how to do it.

A couple of hours later, loading the lift, we see the same two boys, getting on the lift the right way. It was a proud moment.

my brother has line invaders with the pink bottom, and when you lift them up a bit the pink reflects in the snow. So we are at the bottom of the lift and some guy in spandex comes over to him and says

"Is there electricity in your skis?"
"what?"
"Yeah to make the bottoms glow."

guy on lift: wow, why are your skis so huge(talking about my mojo 90s, not that fat).
me: oh, so that i dont sink down in powder and stuff
guy: why would you want to ski in the powder

at my mtn theres a pretty big problem with dumb kids standing on the knuckes on the jumps(like honestly some kid got his helmet tapped a couple weeks ago). so i hit the smaller of the 2 jumps that are right beside each other so i can get closer to some kid while im in the air, and then i stop after it and he comes down and says "hey, its really dangerous for you to hit the jumps when everyone is standing right by the landing."

the best is riding switch down the easy "slow zone" trails and staring gapers down as you pass, and then they realize your going backwards and they go "woah that guys going backwards!" omg!

everytime I show a ski video to my non-skier friends they ALWAYS ask if boxes/rails 'like ruin your skis'?

Also, I've heard a girl who worked at the ski shop I worked at say that Armada was made by Burton. I almost exploded.

Then there is the usual

Gaper: mini skiing is so much better than regular skiing because like you can't catch your tips, and you can go so much faster.

Me: (thinking in my head that this girl is way too stupid for her own good and im not even going to continue this conversation).

At a comp at the local. My friend and I were warming up and we were boosting 7's on this hip and throwing down the biggest stuff in the park. Some gaper snowboarder comes up to me and is like "Wow! You guys are really good, but why are you in the park?" We were like "Uhh, we are park skiers, this is where we ski, plus we are warming up for the comp too" He's like "WOAH, you guys are awesome skiers AND YOU SNOWBOARD". We are like "Uhh, no, bugger off" and we ski away.

I saw a guy with his snowblades off hiking down the hill at Breck. He came up to me and said "Hi I think the dins are broken on these and I need to find the best way to the bottom" I just replied  "Uh, down?"

My buddy works at this ski shop and this ass-hole fratastic looking kid walks in and goes "Hey i need some boots, I only ski black diamonds so I need some boots for black diamond runs..."

I hate that shit soooo much. According to anyone that doesn't know freeride, a backflip is the world best and only trick. If you can't do a backflip then you must suck nuts in their eyes.

Gaper : How do you guys see when your going all backwards?

And a funny story, may be not a gapher quote but when it happened it was hilarious.  My friend was snowboarding and I was skiing and the was this big puddle at the bottom of the run because it was late in the season on a hot day and there are all these Chinese tourists standing looking at this puddle and my friend flies through the puddle on his board and all the water flies  up and soaks the chinese people. I  started laughing and they all looked at me and shouted something Chinese to me, which only made my laughing worse (not to be rasicst or anything).

Yeah same with me and I am not that good either. I usually get the question about the backflip a lot. Usually i just do the old "i can do a double back flip" and then stand up on a chair with my back facing them. I then pretned like i'm going to do one but then i moon them and flick them off with both of my fingers.

I hate when I'm talking about skiing and they're like:

Them: do you do blacks or DOUBLE BLACKS!?!?!?!?!
Me: uhhhh.. honestly I don't go by the trails rating, I just ski what I want. it's not like wooow a double black!
Them: so do you do them?!?
Me: yes...  uhhh, I gotta go now.

that jump is big (15ft jump at most) - gaper on snowboard
i guess- me
it looks pretty steep-gaper
sorta- me
want to see me hit it-gaper
if you can make it to the top- my friend
want to see me kill myself- gaper
sure- me

he does the falling leaf part way down, then bombs it while speed wobbling  to  the jump,  then  goes  off it, leans back, overshoots it, and lands on his neck. the ski patrol had to close the jump and take him down on a tobaggon.
