I Don't Ski!

 I don't ski at all but I enjoy watching skiing and I think it pretty cool. I join the site because of my friend, but I'm not going to name any names. I only been skiing once when I was very little and enjoy it. So what do you call a person on here that doesn't ski but enjoy and cares about watching skiing and other stuff doing with skiing? Not like a poser!

Why don't you just go skiing man?  If you like it so much I don't see why not.

Not at all. A gaper is someone who rarely skis but is out on the hill thinking that they are legitimately good at skiing, always parkin' it on landings, rolling over lips, and sometimes skiing uphill

maybe a fan?

who ever said filmer is wrong. i saw something in some ski movie about the photographers and camera guys, they are usually just as good of skiers as the actual skier they are shooting. they get into tight spots  near cliffs and what not. then they get to huck them on the way back down :)

what do you mean "lol wut"

You've never seen some guy going down a trail all of a sudden to see him turn right and carve up the hill so that all of a sudden you are facing him?

you seem like a cool kid so i'll tell you. 

its like a beginner skiier who thinks they are the shit and own the mountain.  These gapers usually snowplow all over the mountain, skiing through the terrain park and parking themselves in landings or in front of the features.

since u probably have a legit friend on this site who you would ski with, you probably aren't a gaper...I hope

you're exactly like one of my roommates.  i got him into NS and showed him a couple vids.  next thing i knew he had an account, knew just any many skiiers as i did, and now he owns Slamina, Reasons, TBC, and Turbo.  he keeps up with the events better than i do.

it was a little to late to get him on the hill...he doesn't own any skis but i'm taking him next year a bunch.  i suggest you do the same.

A gaper is a person who is in awe of the mountains and skiing. Someone who has no idea what they are doing, how they got there, or what their plan for the day is. A gaper provides income for ski hills.

Someone who sucks and rips though the park like they are the shit, standing on landings, and basically pissing everyone off is a douche bag.

at least thats my definition.

Look at Josh, JO videoblog filmer, he has only skied like 5 times, yet he knows everything there is to know. I dont think there is anything wrong with that, he is doing what he likes, and so are we. everyone is happy
