john18061806I just thought it was really cute how people at school would talk to me about some of the olympic freeskiers.
friend: "I really liked the guy with the dreadlocks and falling down pants, who did you like?"
me: "Everyone killed it, but you can't go wrong with dollo."
friend: "who's dollo? was he the guy who saved the puppies?"


Out of curiosity? Who did save the puppies?

Brule.This happened to me yesterday at lovely Mount Jore while in the lift line for the triple chair.

*Myself and two of my friends get in line after the liftie checks out passes, and another group of 3 slide behind us and accidentally steps on our skis*


Man: "Whoa there, fancy skis."


*myself and my friends look back*


Man: "Do you do any flips and whilry-doos on those skis?"


Me: "I'm not really good at it, I just film a lot in the park."


*I turn toward two of my friends and start lol'ing*


Man: *turns to his maybe wife* "those are the guys that do those 360's and flippy-do's.


*myself and my friends sit down on the chair, then I proceed to lose it laughing*


You got trolled.

At Lake Louise last year, a guy was waiting in the singles line and got on with us (me and 2 mates on a quad) and a gaper dad starts having a go at him for pushing in. I tell him its a singles line and so the entire point is that the occupants of said line fills up single spots but this guy was still not a happy camper. By this point the lift gates have opened so I get on and just start laughing at how this gaper has not understood what may be the most simple concept on the entire mountain.

Not really a gaper but more of a cool surprise.
My church hosts this ski trip every year and one of the skiers who I ski with most of the time is in their 50s and basically has that signature "I ski 3 days a year" look to them (properly fitted columbia jacket, solid color, 7+ years old). I'm chatting with him on the chairlift and he asks about what kind of tricks I like to do. So I am very honest about my Minnesotan habit of 95% rails 5 % jumps, give a mini-lecture on rail trickology:

Me: "Staple rail tricks for good rail skiers are the 4 "feds" (k-fed, b-fed, ray-fed, pretz-fed) which is where you do a 180 on the rail after sliding on it a.k.a. a change-up followed by a 270 spin out of the rail, the names correlate to the directions of both the spins."

Him: "Interesting... So have you seen those crazy guys who do the street skiing?? Some of those maniacs jump off roofs!"

Me: "URBAN. Yes, I participate as well."

Him: "You're crazy, you better be safe."

Me: "Don't sweat it. I try to be reasonable. It's my favorite type of skiing because it's like the back-country for a skier in Minneapolis; a lot of prep and danger for a short but well worth payoff- and that's the attraction of it."

Him: "I never thought about it like that, my son who skis Jackson almost everyday put it like that for the touring he likes to do around there."

Basically, I expect him to know nothing about freeskiing, but it turns out that his ski-bum son has exposed him to plenty of it. So then we continue on a deep and profound conversation on the applications/implications that being a skier can have on your life- a convo which would bore all of you to tears.

so me and my friends we do stuff like where we steal high fives from gapers and i stole a high five and at the end of the run the gaper comes up and says:

gaper: thanks for high five your really good and cool
me: uh thanks
gaper: so do you think i could learn a few things say you teach
me: um yeah sure (at this point my friends and I knew to screw around with him)
so were at the top of the mountain and the gaper says:
gaper: alright i'm ready, hey where you guys going
me: to the backside where there is the special cool park
gaper: oh ok that sounds sooo cool
so there are no lifts on the back and its great for powder days but you got to hike out and so we get to the bottom of the valley and the kid goes:
gaper: alright guys so where is it it looks like they took it out and we've all done this hike a million times so its nothing but for the kid he's nearly dead when we get to the top and so we ski through the normal park and he's too tired to do anything. Eventually we get to the bottom and he says:
gaper: where's the lodge (we were standing right in front of it)
me: behind us
gaper: that's not the lodge you cant sleep and stay there for a night
me: yeah um ok (kid hates me now and he goes to my school and i didn't know that till the next day)

WaffleMasterthat's actually pretty fucking cool, if you think about it most NSers probably wouldn't even know that.


(referring to my post about gaper dad calling cork 7 a dinner roll)

I wouldn't have known it either if it weren't for an older ski instructor who told me about Johnny Moseley 2 years before I really got into freeskiing. Looked him up on youtube and started watching related videos until I found stuff like slumdog illionaire and so far so hood.

Not all quotes.

I was going singles because me and my friends wanted to get to the park faster. I was on with this guy who was probably about 35 or 40. For some reason he's wearing a classic flamboyant gaper suit.Maybe he thought it was cool? I don't know.He asked me if I bent my tails up myself.

A different time, I was on the lift with some little kid. Probably about 13 or 14. The lift is beside the park and I'm trying to plan my line when we see a guy do a pretty steezy switch 7 mute. The kid says "Shhhiiit that guy's good. He's probably gonna be the best one day like Thall."
My parents raised me to be a polite person and it took every fibre of my being to not contradict or outright laugh at the gaper.

Was seshing a rail with a couple of friends. It was a pretty nice flatbar but was a little high and definitely not a beginner rail. We see some gaper teenage girls, probably around 16 come up and cut us off, trying to hit the rail. Gaper girl 1 proceeds not to pop and trips over the rail and nearly double ejects. She landed in the position but only lost one ski. Gaper girl 2, still attempts the rail and ends up missing and her tails land on it. Proceeds to eat shit. I just laughed and said "Karma's a bitch gapers."

I was trying to learn Sw 27s on and was practicing on a very wide flat box for my first couple of times. It was one of those beginner boxes that are around a meter wide. So its my first attempt and obviously I eat complete shit. I can 27 on but Sw was definitely... an expierience the first few times. Anyway, I was getting the rotation alright but i lazy legged and caught the side of the box halfway through the spin or something. Anyway I got up and laughed it off. There were these gaper girls that were behind me waiting to the hit the box. They were laughing and insulting me. Girl gaper 1 proceeds to 50 50 the box, number 2 proceeds to 90 on and can't 90 out. Eats shit. Girl gaper 3 manages to 90 on and out. I skiied ahead and 27d on and off a flatbar and turned around and watched them all gape at me. True gapers right there.

Anyway these are some of my stories with gapers.

"Hey nice hammerhead board"
Him: " oh thanks
Gaper friend; "why are the tips like that"
Him: "so it can float in the pow

Dang, this thread is 4 years old and still going strong


I was on my way to the jump, and this ladygaper in a full 90's suit is skiing across right in front of me..

I had a decent amount of speed, so i had two choices: turn left, and straight into the woods, or keep going straight ahead.
I chose the last one.

I pretty much skied over her front tips..

SO, even though she was the one skiing straight across in front of me, not paying attention at all, she screamed after me
"WATCH OUT YOU IDIOT, YOU ALMOST KILLED ME"

The person in front has the right of way. Unless you mean she was traversing in the park.

ECGovegaper: i like your skis
me: thanks
gaper: is it hard to go backwards?
me: you get used to it
gaper: so are you guys allowed in the snowboard terrain park?
me: uh...yeah
gaper: when did they open it to skiers?
me: skiers could always go in it
gaper: (proceeded to tell a ten minute story about skis during the 1950's, i wont tell it here due to extreme boringness)


In the mid 90s a lot of places were snowboard only. Nothing like having assclown ski patrol on snowmobiles chase you down to bitch at a kid for trying to get rad in the stunt ditch.

Cool starrry bra

One time I got on the lift with this kid, (he was rocking Beats headphones, and a puma hoodie) He pulls an IPAD out of his backpack and starts going through his music. He looks over at me laughing and goes "What bro, you don't like Eminem?"

One of my friends who claims to ski a lot and is good at it sees my boots and is like you only have 3 buckles mine have 4 mine are better (I have dalbellos). Also one of my friends who always brags about going to Colorado a few times a year said "I don't get powder why would any one want to ski in that".

I've heard all of this before: "Can you do backflips?" . "why are you in the terrain park? It's only for snowboarders". "Can you do somersaults?" and my personal favorite: "Can you do helicopters?"

also: A kid at my school started talking to me about how he was so Into "trick skiing". I asked him to name one pro slopestyle skier and he said: "no I'm talking about trick skiing."
I said that's what "trick skiing" is (other than pipe etc.). Then he said "Oh I know a bunch." I said name one and he said "tony hawk right?"
