Seeing as it is less than a week away I was just wondering whos doing what and whos going where? I'll be at Breck most likely because it seems to always have the most gaper crowds. Hopefully Breck lets us actually rage through park lane like two years ago because that was the shit!!!!

Let your outfits be retro and let them be neon..See YA there!

We'll be at A-Basin with the gaper skis, tight neons, and lightsabers just for the hell of it. You cant beat the Basin's beach scene on gagper day.

Ha, there is an article on 9news.com and I just saw a commercial for the news that Breck is fully busting people for being drunk assholes on gaper day this year, like pulling your pass for 2 years for throwing snowballs, WTF?

Damnit. I never went to Savers. I have no gaper gear. Guess I'll just shred Abay or Key normally.

"A gaper is a person who drives along a highway and who is gaping at the mountains and slowing the traffic," explained Kim Green, with the Breckenridge Police Department.

I always thought we called them gapers because of the gap between there helmets and there goggles.

None the less today was pretty fucking sick, I was rocking a pretty ridiculous outfit ha. The weather kind of sucked but it was good for a while.

not on gaper day per se but at the Highland's Closing Party on Sunday where everyone gapes out hardcore.

p.s. girl in pic (my friend) got so hammered she couldn't carry or click into her skis but somehow managed to ski all the way to the base from the top of the mtn and continue partying.

if your talkin about someone with 3 giant texas flags on ski poles and one wore as a cape, then yes that was me and thank you for the props. I managed to get through all the jumps in park lane somehow with all  those- look for more flags next year!
