You would rather tear your pant cuffs to shit by walking on them instead of rolling them up?
 
If you follow all these steps to the letter and can't ski worth a damn, then you are the biggest gaper of all.

the title "How not to become a gaper" is funny because we all started as a raging gaper from the start.

The most well rounded/ best skiers don't need to care about these things. They simply let their skiing do the talking. Look at Pollard who sometimes wears a bright jacket and is now often skiing the Pescado, a unidirectional ski. Look at Parker who wears the gear of 686, a snowboard brand. Most people would make fun of a skier wearing a snowboard brand but her doesn't care, He wears whats functional and high quality. If you really care that much about wearing certain gear and trying to look awesome, you're probably making up for being a shitty skier

How to not be a gaper:

Step 1: Get good at skiing

Its a simple as that, doesn't matter what you wear or what you say, as long as you're a good skier, you're not a gaper.
 
I used this formula to avoid being a gaper today.

1.Drink vodka then coffee then more vodka

2. Ride like a fucking savage.

3. Arrive at work

Agree, I'm little and they don't make ski pants the same way they make jeans where you have the option to get like a Regular or Short without compromising your waist size.

I'll proudly wear my rolled up pants cuffs with whatever colorful socks I have on, I don't give a fuck. I want everybody to see my dinosaurs in space socks.

I don't like using poles. Just a preference, not a skill
 
I usually stick some masking tape right down the middle of my goggles to the top of my helmet so I don't get a gaper gap. It really helps after side hitting an on ramp and landing on my ass.
 
disregard everything OP said. Ski in jeans, wear colorful circa 1970 clothing, grow a mullet, and only do spraffys and cossacks of the sides of features
 
dont get in other peoples way and check yourself before you wreck yourself, dont make yourself look like an idot by trying that kinked rail and completely destroying yourself

So are you saying someone who wants to learn how to slide a kink rail should never try it and progress because they will not look cool learning it?

unfortunately we need to wait for RichieTrott2020 to make another thread addressing these important issues.

Nah man if someone has their flat rails down or a frames then they can try kinked rails, but however if you've never hit a rail before it can look kinda dumb when attempting thats what I mean, but we all started in the park from nothing

Riche wears bright green goggles and wears them over his helmet and has the eapads in, no park rider rocks the goggles over, everyone rocks them under the helmet, the people who do rock them over tend to be the shitty park skiers

I cant lie but that is totally true, only your skiing can make you a gaper, richie calls me a gaper because I had 2014 4FRNT skis but I got some new 2016 el rey's, his definition of a gaper is so dumb, If HE doesnt like your style he'll automatically say your a gaper
 
Put skiing at the top of your favorite shit to do.

Spend as many days as you can skiing.

Have a mild ski buying problem so you end with like 6 setups over time.

No friends on a powder day

Get a massive fucking goggle tan

Get a boner when you see a week of snow in the forecast

ski on short skis or ski blades on gaper day unless it snows a foot

take a pay cut so you can ski more

ski park pipe trees bumps powder and bomb groomers all are fun

learn to drive a clutch with ski boots on

yell off lift in texas accent about green diamonds.

build a bc jump

do a pond skim

hike all day for one run

go sled access skiing

chug a whole 40 while you ride switch down a catwalk.................... first rule of not being a gaper is not making a thread about not being a gaper
