Gaper stories?

My parents love to tell me one story in particular from when they skied Park City in the 80s. They were heading up the lift with some joey from Texas, and as the chair passed over an ungroomed trail, the guy asked them where the mountain stores the moguls in the winter.

What is the dumbest/most embarrassing thing you've ever seen someone say or do on the mountain?

Alright I got one.

So get this, I'm up at PC like any other day just throwin down slaying some park lines. I get on 3 Kings lift and this little douche and his dad get on the lift with me. So anyways I'm just rocking out to some wu-tang and this guy leans over and taps me on the shoulder. I remove my headphones sort of pissed at this old douche and he asks me, "Hey, do you happen to know where the searchbar is?" I'm like, "You srs bro? Its in the fucking top right hand corner of the screen. What are you, 60 or something?" And with that I threw on my skullcandies and rode off into the sunset and got away from those gapers asap.

I was just talking to my friend and this is how it went:

hannah: How was skiing?

Me: Pretty good, we got a foot on the first day, and a few inches the rest of the trip

Hannah: Ya stowe was sick! There was like so much snow that if you went into the trees you couldn't even move becuase it was up to you knees

Me: (took me a while to think of a response here)

Saw a 50 year old man on a snowboard that could barley ride to straight through the terrain park to a small 10-15 foot jump. He was hauling ass and popped off the lip and way overshot the landing and landed on the flat ground. He didn't stand up for about 10 minutes

I was on the chairlift and the people on the chair in front of me were smokin a j so it started to smell. This gaper lady sitting next to me started making all these comments about the smell and proceeded to start coughing profusely exaggerating the fact that she obviously didn't like pot(despite being in california). She did this all the way up and as I got off at the top she says "hopefully we don't ride with a pot head next time"... Those fucking fairest thought I was the one smoking just because I looked

some kid asked me "why do they have rails in the park?" I just said to him "In case you lose your balance and need something to hang on to."

last year i saw an old asian dude click into his skis backwards.  these weren't symetrical twin tips either...they were a pair of crappy rental skis with a flat tail.  definitely one of the stupidest gaper moves i've ever seen.

This one time I was dressed as a gaper on a preseason day, had my tall T tucked into my flashy pants (which were pulled up to my chest). Anywho, I was gaping down the mountain, and decided it would be a good time to do a full speed penguin slide. As soon as I began my fateful slide I knew it was the wrong decision. Gaining more and more speed it soon became apparent that I would not be able to stop, but hey, nobody was there so it was all good. As I'm still sliding, I notice the drop in to some rail features coming up...fast, and a crowd of kids gathered around it. My life flashes before my eyes, I see the end is near, I am a human wrecking ball on a path to destruction. Impact. I hit said group of kids, take one out, and proceed to apologize profusely for my stupidity.
Moral of the story is don't be a gaper.
Also I think there is a thread about this made by a kid who I hit haha.
