The best gaper quotes

this is still my favorite

i always call my buddys at school gapers

they respond with "whats a gaper" they've even all started to call eachother gapers sooo funny XD
 
hahah I miss this thread I have a solid one

Some guy at Crystal Mtn in Washington drunk off his ass and tripping balls wearing a multicolored onzie and on an old partially delaminated burton swallowtail snowboard. was telling me about how its bottomless powder at Mt Baker. He said patrol doesn't care what you do and you can drop 500 foot cliffs and jump off the lift. He proceeded to fall off the lift into a ditch. We heard he got arrested for not cooperating and trying to steal a parking lot shuttle bus. /claim???
 
wow that was a cool 460!

i thought only the obsticle course was for snowboarders?

ive been skiing for 4 days, when are you allowed in the blue squares or scary blacks??
 
Gaper:So you slide on those metal bars and plastic boxes right? and jump right?

Me: Rails and boxes, yes. and yeah i jump.

Gaper:How do you backwards without falling?

Me:I have twin tips

Gaper: Oh like snowblades?

Me: no snowblades are stupid and anyone wearing them should be made fun of.

Gaper: No man snowblades are way cooler. That's what all the pros use.

Me: yeah you're right, i feel stupid now. *Get off chair and avoid the gaper for the rest of the day*
 
So...not a gaper, but a ski school instructor...but this morning he walked up to me and pointed at my toe buckles on my full tilts and asked if I had heaters on the side of my boots............................
 
haha this happened to me a few days ago.. i was skiing at app ski mountain in nc and it was raining all day. but this asian girl was snowboarding and she took off both bindings and tried to hop on the lift. the lift op said "NO STRAP IN THEN HOP ON" and i laughed because she was asian
 
kid at school: can you do 360s?me: yeah..

kid: can you do anything else?

me: yeah, i can do 5s

kid: what?

me: 540s

kid: i dont get it
 
I worked as a lifty and now I'm a ski instructor so I've had some good ones. Can't remember all of them unfortunately. Some keepers;

(gaper loading the chair) "where do I get off?"

(gaper loading chair 23, which is a chair to the top) "is the top open today?"

"Wow those are some cool powder skis" (volkl bridges, 90mm underfoot)

(I skied up to a lift with my tripod after filming) "How can you ski with your tripod?"

"How can you ski without your poles?"

My GF works in the rental shop and the other day someone came in wearing ski boots asking for a snowboard to put on.

"How do I get to Mammoth Lake?"
 
A girl who rented skis from us for a week returned them and said,

"I'd like to ask you about the hot springs." There are a lot in CO, but none nearby so i say,

"Which one?" She looks very confused and replies timidly,

"The....one....from....the....earth?"

Laughed in her face. felt kinda bad
 
While standing at the bottom of a lift at hood waiting for my friend, there was a snowboarder with a windells diecut on his helmet with the backing still on it....
 
on a chairlift, a russian guy asked me
"are these mechanics to produce snow?"
me-"uh, yeah. they come in handy when there isnt much snow"
"do they make many chemical?"
 
i got weight for christmas and my and my cousin were watching it while my whole extended family was over... oh the things they said about urban skiing
 
Gaper watching kids practice 360's on a mogul air: "Those tricks are cool"Us: "Which tricks?"

Gaper: You know, the once-around that those kids are doing."

Since then, we've always referred to 360's as once-arounds, 7's as twice-arounds, backies as once-overs, etc.
 
Had some mini gapers in my class yesterday. They asked why the snow was red (it was that dye they use to mark stuff) so I told them they painted it and they asked if they painted it red because they ran out of white.
 
Good way to train balance and feel the edge of the ski working.French ski instructors make it do to their students from time to time, you get a better feel for the ski.

Lol I had a girl on the chair ahead of me fail to get off the chair..... They stopped the whole lift and she had to jump, only like ten foot, cool story I know. I've also had "pretty boots" "80s boots" and "hard to lose boots" when people comment on my voodoos......
 
A couple I got today:

"How did you get that design on your skis?"

"I thought snow jump skis were the same on top as on the bottom."

The second one threw me off a bit.
 
Nah lol that's what I thought he meant at first but he clarified that he thought they didn't have bases or edges, so that you could hit rails. As if my afterbangs were just straight up pieces of wood.
 
Got on the lift with someone and he immediately pulled out a deck of flash cards with brain teasers on them. He proceeded to quiz me for the entirety of the chair ride.
 
The asian tourists at Brighton always take their boards off when they are like 200 yards away from the lift. Then they fall and their boards slide all the way into the parking lot. Funny stuff.
 
Talking with a "BURTON IS THE BEST" guy on facebook today, I asked him how the park at tremblant was and he said he didn't go into the park because his board was new and "way too fast".
