Gaper Slalom

When bombing down trails, I frequently find myself carving in between gapers in the middle of the trail. I know I can avoid them and ski on the side, but I think I am developing a new sport, Gaper Slalom. Now I intentionally ski in between gapers, and I enjoy the rush of cutting them off. I believe this behavior is justified since the gapers cut us off all the time in the park. Can this be a thing? Or am I just a bad person?

I think everyone on this website can relate if they've ever gone skiing

I'm with you. Sooner or later I'll be out there with shin guards cross-blocking dudes.

Watch out, I hear FIS wants to set regulations on this "Gaper slalom" you speak of.

Won't be long before they limit how much edge we can be missing.
