What's the deal with Texans?

Are they to western resorts as the Asian invasion or rude NYC assholes are to East coast places?

How do you know they're from Texas? Or is Texan just analogous to your standard Jerry variety in the west?

Please do tell.

Texas license plates, jeans (Gore-Texas), and they'll tell you they're from Texas.

it's just that theyre common gaper stereotypes, and theyre common in CO especially since it's the closest place for sick skiing when you live in texas, just like southern vermont is a popular skiing place for NYers

It’s not that deep...

Texan here living in another state bordering CO now. Texas has such a huge population that it feels overwhelming when they visit, especially a place like Breck who already has a large crowd but is known in Texas as a great option for an “easy” ski trip.

I don’t think they really dress country with jeans etc. if anything they can look like supreme gapers with top of the line $500 jackets and Helly Hansen pants but riding rentals cause they flew there.

Just for reference, a “Tyler’s Racquet and Jog” shirt/jacket is probably the truest giveaway that someone is from Texas. You should roast them at that point...

Who doesn’t like a good Texas Suitcase.

Texas. Cali. Same shit. Economy is good. People travel. Second homes. $20,000 vacations. They have been around a while now.

Dont worry, I'm an insider and I'm here to lay down the facts. Speaking on behalf of the houston area.

-There's hardly any outdoor activities to do in Texas, unless you live in Austin or something like that. All there is to do is go out to eat at the same restaurants or go watch a movie. People are used to spending money for anything exciting.

-A lot of people just have a cookie cutter family.. Usually something like, Mom and dad graduated from A&M, they work at some big company downtown, and they can't picture living anywhere else.

-Skiing vacations are pretty much a given for anyone who can afford it... Every winter Texans must gather their limited winter gear and make the pilgrimage to colorado. Most people have been going every year since they were little, giving them the belief that they know what they're doing. There was a point where I never even fathomed that some people just lived in snowy places and skied at big resorts year round.

I've never heard of anyone skiing in jeans. Pretty much everyone goes to breckenridge and they make sure they have EVERYTHING. If you live in the midwest and see jeans it's more than likely just someone nearby who's never skied.

Look for colorful coats, rental skis, gaper gaps, orange tinted goggles, and body turners.
When you get on the lift and the mom starts talking first, and she's super friendly, 9 times out of 10 will be a Texan.

TLDR: Texans have nothing fun to do in their home state so they take refuge in breckenridge. Sorry.

I don't know how those guys can ski in a 20-degree snowstorm in just cotton pantaloons and wool gloves. Just wanna give em some gore tex but it's probably against their rules or something.

Population of Texas is about 28 million people. This is more than colorado, utah, idaho, montana, oregon, and washington combined. This combined with the fact that there isn't any skiing in Texas means that there are a lot of Texans traveling to ski throughout the west

Texas seems really fun if you like guns, fast cars, and 4x4s. Those are kinda out doors activities.

About 5 years ago I went to Texas in a Toyota truck with my girlfriend in the passenger seat. I left two days later in a Chevrolet Silverado with a bench seat.
