well sometimes my helmet slips up revealing a nice beanie. and then sometimes this goes even further and the beanie slips up, revealing my head. does this make me a gaper?
I always thought it was because they stand around in the park "gaping" at all the good skiers/boarders doing tricks. The "gaper gap" is just a trademark look.
what you just suggested is gapper pronounced gap pur
so no...
a gaper is commonly considered to be a beginner, or someone who says/does/wears stupid shit on the mountain and is ignorant of freesking but it's complicated and hard to explain with text
unless i'm way off in which case my whole life is a lie
gaper callout, and yes as am i a gaper among the gapers, join me brethren and we shall, run those obstacle course things with the rails and the stupid big piles of snow, always getting in the way of my chowdah
