Gapers?

twin tips that are backmounted.

jeans

jacket that goes above your ass

shorts

pants tucked into your boots

goggles flapping in the wind

just some of the things that makes a gaper a gaper
 
That is conditional: if a gaper does not know what a gaper is, and when they are told the definition of the word, and DO NOT RECOGNIZE that they in fact are one themselves, then they are truly a gaper. It is possible not to be a gaper while not knowing what a gaper is.*

*This is an incredibly rare situation and has not been tested on humans. Administer at your own risk.
 
Clearly definition #5 from urban dictionary:

an asshole that's been used and abused so often

that it doesn't readily close when an object (penis, dildo, zucchini,

etc.) is removed from it.

"This porn whore is a vet! she's got a gaper!"

 
The creator of this thread is about to look in the mirror before the next time he skis and change a few things now after this post.
 
Those that immature 12 year olds think are not as cool as they are and make fun of.

Do not worry that these 12 year olds are "gapers" for %99 percent of the world, like in chemistry, math, physics, astronomy, other sports...
 
dude you should've said; symmetrical twintips that are backmounted...it's plain dumb to centermount asymmetrical skis...especially if they're powder-planks...
(and yes, there is a point in centermounting asymmetrical skis; thereby making the swing more balanced; but for gods sake if you're gonna centermount get a symmetrical ski; don't fuck up a perfect asymmetrical plank ! )
 
love some of the descriptions there, but yea really any skier or snowboarder with nfi, skiers who do the "gaper tuck" on green runs is a dead give away, with gear picked up from a sale that no one else would buy
 
Snowdome gapers - goggles inside or just on worn on the head just in case they turn the lights up real bright ( i have seen one gaper with wearing his fire iridium A frames indoors), motocross goggles inside, jeans tucked into boots, thinking when the lady at the desks ask you if you can turn and control your speed means we don't give a shit if you can't stop there are nets at the end for a reason and the standard jumping off the side of kickers for rails. don't get me wrong i love gapers, makes me feel like a better person.
 
thats not backmounted, most twins ski better 1-2 cm back from true center just because there not symetrical, i consider a backmount to be "traditional" mount
 
you mean like boot sole? where the ski is meant to be mounted?

sounds pretty gaper to me. not to mention that the ski might even perform better because of it
 
Just check out Traveling Circus: Season 1, episode 4 (Style coach)....

You'll see a gaper in it's natural habitat screaming out his mating call (at 6minutes and 57seconds): "That 270 on and 270 off was so dope!"

THAT'S a gaper.

This is my favorite from urban dictionary:

A skier or snowboarder who sucks and is usually

spotted wearing clothing from 1983, but other clothing styles for them

do exist. A dead giveaway of a gaper is when their pants are tucked

into their boots and the famous "Gaper Gap" (a gap between the

helmet/hat and the goggles). Gapers sometimes temporarily inhabit the

entrance to a terrain park. They will sit on their ass for a good 5-10

minutes talking about what they are going to do of a that "jump" or

"rail" while everyone behind them goes before them and they stare at

them with their mouth gaped open. Once they finally decide to leave

their home at the entrance of the terrain park, the gaper will

eventually decide to either roll over the jump and mess up all the

lips, or they will try and actually hit the jump. If this occurs, they

generally end up coming up half way short of the landing on their ass

and yardsale,

while the person behind them runs them over and/or yells at them.

Gapers may also make turns or snowplow down green runs and sometime try

to act cool by crouching and sticking their ski poles in the air but

are totally oblivioius to the fact that they look even more stupid than

they previously were. Gapers often find themselves on the top of a

black diamond run because they are dumbasses and can't read a map. When

they approach the run, they may either turn around, stare at it, sit

down on the top of it, or just simply walk down the side of it. Gapers

often have trouble getting on and off lifts and the lift operator gets

really frustrated with them because he is required to stop the lift. A

fun game to play while skiing or riding behind a gaper is called

"Follow the Gaper". The game is played by following the gaper's path

and looking as bad as they are. The game will usually last until they

identify your presence, however it is possible to extend the game even

past this point.

That gaper just stopped the lift when he got on and off of it!

That gaper's Salomon Symbio rear-entry ski boots are so sick!
 
Also, I hate when park rats think that anyone who doesn't ski park is a gaper. I rarely ski park, but I'm not a gaper.

You've gone too far here. I would ski in Cards in a heartbeat. That's a look there. I have now determined that I am a gaper. I currently wear or have worn most of the items on the gaper list. I need a style coach!
