Ever told that gaper on the lift with you about the time you threw a triple, the 100 footer your local hill is planning to build, or about how your uncle is Tom Wallisch?

I want to hear the most ridiculous thing you have ever convinced a gaper.

Mine would have to be probably a fairly classic one of convincing the gaper someone is way better than they are. We were able to convince a gaper on the lift with us that a friend in our crew,that can't even hit a rail, doesn't do anything because he blew his knee nearly doing a quad. The backstory was that we took him out into the backcountry, built a giant jump, where he would learn triples. Since he wanted a challenge he deiced to do it unnatural, only to over rotate and nearly quad.
 
I convinced a bunch of people at my home hill that i was Henrik Harlauts cousin. Some kids miss heard me so they thought i was actually Henrik (which by the way i look nothing alike and ski completely different). There were a bunch of kids asking me if i was actually Henrik because some of their friends told them that i actually was. It was great and hilarious.
 
convinced a gaper friend that i had never once seen a good skier without a scarf took him skiing later that season and low and behold, he wore a silk scarf
 
I was at Skibowl one night with a bunch of friends and the lift lines got pretty damn long, so we started to chat with some gapers. I'm a redhead and at the time my hair was down to about my collarbone; so my friends started telling people that I was Shaun White. We claimed that I (Shaun White) was skiing because snowboarding was too easy and wanted to try something new. Surprisingly quite a few families bought it.
 
These little kids were talking about how cool pro racers are and my friend asked them if they've heard of *insert my friends name here* and that he won x games with a quad 1170 and they were like "yeah that guy is the coolest"

You being a Gaper trollin' it! Nobody is a bigger Gaper than me!

 
My friend and I convinced this gaper/racer that we were pro skiers from Alaska, and that we compete in tons of comps across the country and have won multiple gold medals, and that the only reason we were skiing at my home hill was that they payed us to ski there, he walked away and proceeded to tell his friends and got really excited haha
 
I was night skiing and I told one about a secret pow run on the left of the groomer where there was a fence that wasn't really visible... next run I saw him flailing around trying to untangle himself from the net like fence so I helped him and told him that he took a wrong turn
 
Working in the rental shop last year, my friend was getting pretty bored and decided to go about sizing poles for customers a little differently. Instead of sizing poles the normal way he instead gave the guest poles and had them get into a 'gaper tuck' position in the middle of the shop and had them hold that position for 5-10 seconds. These were full grown adults. I hope these people get into a nice tuck next time they rent some poles.
 
People ask me what the machine that makes moguls looks like. I tell them that moguls are actually Bison. They come to the high mountains to hibernate. They lay down and fall asleep, the snow falls and cover them creating moguls. Funny how many people think im being serious.
 
Some kid had a huge line sweatshirt and oakley goggles, so i asked if he was sponsored by line. When he said no, i asked about oakley. He said no again, and must have noticed the level 1 sticker on my helmet. He asked if i was sponsored by level 1, and i told him yep! He was like "really???!!!!"
 
Told a kid I got a ton of girls once I started backflipping. E said prove it, and I told him that the snow burn on my face was herpes.

I walked into the chalet and the same 8 year old was sitting with his parents, then turned and yelled 'HE HAS HERPES!'
 
Only yesterday I was at the park with a group of friends and parlayed with a paper. I told him that I was engaged in an intimate sexual relationship with my cousin and that there was a load of the sad stigma surrounding the subject. I convinced him that it was actually ok and advised him to try it out and winked. For icing on the cake, I waved to one of the girls I ad come with and she responded by blowing a kiss. Priceless!

Hahahaha I heard another story like that on here where some one asked "I wonder where they put the moguls in the summer"
 
Convinced a gaper I was on both the K2 and Oakley junior ski teams.... While skiing with Black Crows and Dragon Alliance
 
This could become one of two things:

a. a claim thread

or

b. everyone copies the same 5 things and repeats them and It ends up being 100 pages long
 
I once told this little kids I was Andy Mallet (owner of saga) when I was up at sunvalley visiting. long story short few days later they found out I wasn't and just then I had a bunch of little kids wanting to Hit me hahahahahahaha
 
I have two...

The first is that every time my friend and I go out west and get on the lift with good looking girls we convince them that we are pro skiers and are a big deal back on the east coast. We ski at Big Boulder in Pennsylvania so it is not that hard to fathom. I know everyone does this, but it actually works a lot of the time.

Another time my buddy was wearing a black Oakley tall tee and Oakley goggles with black lenses just like Alex Schlopy wears in a lot of his Instagram photos. We convinced the kid that he was Alex and they took a picture with all his friends and had him sign the brim of his hat. The kid proceeds to run over to his mom and tell her all about it.

I feel pretty bad for the alex schlopy kid. Like man. Imagine how sad and embarrassed he was when he found out.
 
Was at the Tell a friend tour and was wearing a Line hoodie and had a bunch of Line stickers on my helmet. Some kid came up to me and asked if I was sponsered by line, I said yes, (I was on K2s haha).

And by the way I'm the best skier in this discussion!!

I ride at big Boulder to. Hmu sometime
 
LITERALLY, literally, i mean literally convinced these yung gaper gurlz that my buddy and i were tom wallisch and simon dumont. whenver we saw those hoes in the lodge they called us tom and simon
 
Me and my buddy were looking for someone to ride up the lift with so we invited this one looped up guy to come with us from the singles line. right when we boarded he pulled out a prescription bottle and took some pills. He said, "don't do drugs kids. It's ok, these are from the doctor" We told him we were pro surfers, pro motocross riders, and 4th graders from Australia. He was giggling the whole ride up when I told him I fought off a great white shark in the Great Barrier Reef.
 
I convinced a gaper that dubs are as easy as they look on TV. I ended up under rotated and concussing myself. #FuckTheProsForMakingThatStuffLookEasy
 
First question from the kid on the lift, "Do you ski park???"

Second question, "What tricks can you do???"

Gave progressively ridiculous answers -- by the end I was legitimately trying to come up with something so ridiculous he wouldn't buy it. Never worked.

Ended up convincing him my friend and I were really close to stomping a new trick called the Hula Hoop. It's where he does a straight air and I do a 360 around him in the air so it looks like a Hula Hoop.

... the kid kept following us around to try to watch us do it...
 
I was 17 (in 2010) and needed chew pouches for when I was going to Keystone. I was a foreign exchange student in Colorado for Highschool. I told the guy at a gass station near Key, that I was PK Hunder and the guy fell for it big time. I even gave him an autograph.

For the record I don't look anything like PK, lol
