Define Gaper

Someone asked me today what a gaper was and I couldn't come up with an exact definition to describe what exactly a gaper is. I looked it up on urban dictionary and this is how they defined it:

1.

gaper

A gaper is a skiier or snowboarder who is

completely clueless. Usually distiungished by their bright

colored

clothes and a gaper gap, the gap between goggles and a helment/hat.

Gapers also do the

"Gaper Tuck" which is an attempt at being a ski racer

by tucking, however, it is done incorrectly with

the poles sticking

straight up like thunderbolts and lighting, very very frightning! Gapers

also sit at the

bottom of jumps and try and go big off table tops in

the park.

1. My eyes are burning from that gapers bright colored clothes.

2. I fell off the chair laughing at that gaper tuck.

3. Did you just see that gaper getting landed on because he was sitting like a dumbass at the landing of a jump.

Someone who doesnt know what their doing on any part of the mountain. If u are bad at park it doesnt automatically make u a gaper as long as you are good at racing, trees, bumps etc.
 
I really recommend taking off google safe search and image searching for "gaper". Always a good way to find the definition
 
The gaper gap doesn't necessarily define a gaper. A gaper can also be see hitting the lips before rails and stomping it so hard with "sweet air"
 
If the gap is larger than an inch, then that means it is a gaper gap regardless of skin showing or not. But if skin is showing at all then it will always be a gaper gap.
