I was taking to my future roomate and found out he skis and I asked him what type of skiing he did he only responded back with "i ski everything".

Decipher it for me, he's not a very good talker and he doesnt seem to be technology savvy.

He sounds like a gaper claimer to me.

phhahaha....calm down dude.  someone brought up "skiing diamonds" as a gaper term and now you keep using it.  if you're not all that great yourself, its usually fun to progress w/ someone yer skill level.  also keep in mind your roomate isn't the only person you'll meet at school. even if he's a bigger gaper than you he'll still buy movies that you'll inevitably get to watch.

I have to agree.  From my experience, "I ski everything" means I can ski green, blue, AND blacks.  Maybe not a total gaper, but definitely not newschooler.  But hey, I started out like that before I started skiing with my friend Chris.

i would say a guy thats totally into park skiing, but is too bad at it, so he quit that a while ago. he is probably riding something with 90 underfoot, possibly a non-twintip, because he thinks hes a pow rider,

a total equivalent to the guy you described was in the same class. he was chill and totally respectful for park riding, but just couldnt get himself going for it

Sounds like a gapper. Maybe you could get him interested and convert him to a NS

honestly dude, i wouldnt worry about it. your going to be living together for almost a year, including an entire winter. if hes a gaper, conversion is basically guaranteed. i was a gaper 2 years ago till i started hanging out with my steezy friend kale, and got instantly hooked on park. trust me, you will have a bomb ass roommate by the end of the year
