what does breck crack down on? smoking and drinking?

I'll probably be at ABay. Got a dope jacket and head band. I just need to hit up the thrift store for some pants and goggles and/or glacier glasses.

A basin s the place to be on gaper day. Hopefully sunny this year for proper garment wear...i.e. shorts.

Eldora is the place for gapers. I'm rockin' sweatpants with a Huskers logo, 1993 Columbia parka, upside down goggles (I see this a lot), and a bike helmet with dual rear-view mirrors. Fuckin' sweet.

I can't believe anyone still thinks it's funny to celebrate/dress up for gaper day. "Wooooo it's my first season out here lets make fun of vacationers!"

I like going to Breck cause theres a fuck ton of real gapers to make fun of on April 1st. Gives me some sort of satisfaction I guess.

I don't care about my icon. Or should i change it to Saga of jiberish or a meme or something cool? I'm sorry I just don't get gaper day. If that's your way of having fun cool, enjoy the mtn.

Forecast calls for 51 and sunny in Breck. Look for the Giant Texas flags. My outfit will be more ridiculous than yours.....but no it will seriously.....last year was not a big deal however the weather was so so snowy....this year however.....sunny, Breck Gaper Day will go off and I work for Vail and you have to be a real cunt to get your pass taken, just have fun with it dont be an asshole. If your really that concern drive to Abasin then drive home drunk and risk getting a DUI.

Somebody wrote "YES" with an arrow pointing to my "My other ride is a Chairlift" NS sticker in the dirt on my Outback. Claim yourself.





I pointed my gopro at ridiculous angles all day gaper style and forgot that it was actually pointed at ridiculous angles when I actually wanted to film. I had to trash everything but 35 seconds haha.

Either way, this is the 35 seconds of footage that was worth keeping: https://newschoolers.com/ns/content/viewvideo/id/418986/member_id/66611/
