last week i was skiing with my school ski club and there is a really annoying gaper kid who walks like he is hot shit because he goes through the park pizza. I was in the park last week and he was skiing by and stopped when he saw me. He looked down and my skis and goes "Wow! Your skies are double headed! Is it hard to ski turned around?"

So I ski at perisher in Australia in the winter, and my god there is so many gapers, anyways i was catching a lift up getting from blue cow back over to front valley and these two kids were talking about their ski lesson and how better they are than everyone else saying shit like,

"yeah i just bomb the green runs when we do them and just stop at the end"
"so many people in my group can't even parallel turn"
"i got some sweet air doing an ollie on that last run"

and others from snowboard gapers

while i was in the life line for the park a dude looked at my skis and was like to his buddies woah that guy has powder skis, i tried to explain to them that they were only 91 under foot and fully chamber, nevertheless they didn't understand a thing i was saying, then they were in the park smoking a blunt and knuckling it on 20 foot jumps...

another was when riding a T with some old dude he said that snowboarders shouldn't be allowed on the mountain because they bring a negative attitude and rutt out the T-bars

Sitting on a chairlift. Listening to two girls talk to their Mom about skiing through the 'park'. Girl had to slow down approaching a jump because someone fell hitting it before her. Guy rides up behind her, "Watch where you're going Little Girl" Girl, "Oh I was soooooo mad!" She actually did the right thing so that makes the boarder who came up behind her the gaper ;)

"It's way easier to walk down the stairs backwards guys"

I'm sure it's already been said in 1 of 90 pages of this thread but we've all seen it a million times & it never fails to make me laugh.

At a small mountain in Wisconsin.

Immediately realized my fucking uppage.

I was being followed by this mega gaper today, he'd chat me up at the top of each run, I wasn't annoyed at all and some of the things he said were precious:

He had race skis on and said "my dad bought me the wrong pair of skis, what kind of skis should I get? I'm thinking about twin tippers"

The brake on my ski got bent back really badly from landing switch and I had to walk down the hill, I even did a little boot skiing.... He said "Woah! I didn't know you could ski on boots, I thought only pros could to that! You're really good."

Then he followed that up with
"What happened to your ski?"
Me: "The brake broke."
"Are you going to get new skis?"
Me: (bend the brake back into place)

Talking to a friends friend, he found out I skied and he goes "So, are you a black diamond skier?"...
I was just kinda like "Uhm, what do you mean?"
"You know, ski black diamonds?"
"Ohh *weird fake laugh* yeah, I can"
Him "That's cool! I can ski backwards!"
I just laugh, and he goes "No really, I can!" thinking that I thought skiers couldn't ski backwards?
and I just responded, "Yeah, I know.. I believe you, most people can"

This continues to go on for a while, but yeah... funny stuff

On the chairlift with random gaper, we didn't speak till about 3 minutes up the lift. He pointed to my hands and commented, " Why are you skiing without poles? Is that so you can smoke weed?"

Riding a chair, saw a cork 7 blunt and this gaper dad I was riding with said "busting out the Dinner roll!" I gave him a high five for getting the trick name right, despite it being old terminology. Guess he wasn't so gaper after all.
