Expert line closed because of gapers.

I went skiing with some friends in Flaine (france) and passed by the park and noticed all the expert kickers were closed when they didn't seem to be in bad shape. So I went down to the park lodge and basically asked why. Well, same story, accidents because gapers in the landing, gapers braking arms and legs because of overspeed, rail kicks and broken on sides. So the park shapers just closed everything so no hit happens.
I asked them to open just one or two kickers and fortunately they said yes which is very nice from them.
Just saying, because of gapers, people like us can't do their sport.

That sucks. I remember a couple time at labrador back in the day I was out in cuse for christmas and my cousin and his friends were going boarding so I rented a board at the mountain. Thank god the boards were decent and they didn't have a policy like that. Would have been a lame night.

Not everyone on a rental is a gaper, although pretty much everyone is.

Except when you want to venture off into the medium line, then it's gaper tap central. Ask Derek, I believe his gaper body count is in double digits by now.

Agreed. Okemo's park is so nice. There are no ruts in the takeoffs because such fewer people go off the sides of the jumps.
Stratton has this too and it's the same way. No ruts and no gapers or old people to worry about.
Killington would benefit from a pass for sure
