The best gaper quotes

to be honest that doesnt seem that gaperish...this thread has gone to shit. just a bunch of people talking about how much cooler they are than gapers
 
My desktop at work rotates between a few wallpapers and everyone out here has the same response when a picture comes up of someone riding a rail on skis....

"Do you snowboard?" or

"Do you ski?" .... yes I do ...."why don't you just snowboard?"

 
So i just come through the park and i come in to the run in to the run-in to a jump with my brother, and theres only a few people there. theres a snow boarder, and a ski patrol. so I pull in front of the ski patrol because he obviously wasn't ready or wasn't even going to hit. then he stops me and says
HEY KID. last time i checked, were in America. and in America, there are lines. so first i go, then he goes, THEN you go. in a southern accenthe then proceeds to turn to the far left of the jump, and not even hit the roller.
And of course the usual Are those snowboard skis?
 
ok so my dad just came back from alta, (i know lucky guy)

he was talking to his firend about all the new ski technology (ie rockered ski)

my dad: yeah its crazy now the skis are rockered!

friend: how do you rocker your own skis?

me: facepalm, then "that is going on NS tomorrow"

true story,
 
i have the line invaders with the blue and pink wrestlers on them and a couple of girls who where probably about 10 are just going through the park and notice my skis and ski up:

them: those skis are pretty

me:....thanks

them: are you going to do that rail with them?

me: yes

them: why itll ruin the prettyness! (sounding utterly horrified)

me: its what i do *drop in*
 
You: Not knowing how to spell "buried" (looking like an idiot).

Some of these quotes are funny, but most are claims/ trying to look cool. Also, someone being friendly but misinformed is no reason to be a dick to them. That's why we get a bad rap sometimes. Educate people, don't make some snide comment or ignore them.
 
I don't act like dick to them. Most don't. It's just that some of them are so baffling I get thought freeze and don't know what to say.
 
friend: dude why do you wear such big jackets?me: idk..there comfy and i just like big jackets..friend: dude you just tryin to be like shaun walsh... such a poserme: shaun walsh?friend: yea shaun walsh!me: you mean tom wallisch?friend: yea yea watever it is...me: dude u just crossed shaun white..and tom wallisch....

my friend tried to convince me simon dumont is the best freestyle skier yesterday. i tried to sway his opinion, but he wouldn't hear of it and kept bringing up his double frontflip.
 
so i jump in the singles line and get on a lift with an old instuctor. prolly about 50.gaper instructer- "i see u have those doubled-tipped skis. do you do those jumps?"me- "ya"gaper instructor- " do you do those rails too?"me - "yup"gaper instructor- " ya i dont do that kinda stuff but i heard that u are supposed to turn sideways when you go on a rail"
 
fasho man. but theyre still fun to laugh at. i love gapers personally cause they provide entertainment and the money that keeps my town from going under

^Can't find the post you quoted so I'll just pretend I quoted it, and then respond to it:

Laughing on here about the funny things that gapers say is harmless enough, and its funny, but it's when we give them attitude to their faces that it starts being assholish.

Example: When I was 12, I tried to drop into the pipe at Stratton, and I cut this guy off (not knowing any better)...he screamed at me, started flipping out about how I was retarded and all this shit...never went back into a park for 3 more years because I was convinced that everyone in there were assholes and scary people. Had that not happened, I probably would shred today because I would've been skiing in the park for 4 years by now.

We don't want to discourage kids from joining our sport. Educate, don't deprecate.
 
This used to happen alllll the time...
Gaper: **while looking at my Dumonts from two seasons back** "Did you lose one of your ski's and now have to ski with one from one pair and one from another?"
 
i hate wearing my level 1 tee in public cause i always get things like wtf is level 1 and arent you on level 2 yet?

i was on the lift at vail and a guy asked me what kind of skis i had. i told him they were armadas. hey goes: isnt that a hotel? i just kind of laughed and told him no

last week my friend wanted to give me a pair of his Bolle goggles so i could get them signed at xgames.
 
Just messing around in the park one day when a gaper comes up to me and says:
"Dude sick boardslide. I didnt know skiers could do those. Hey man, this kid can do boardslides on his skis!"
 
Also, I whenever I talk about the some new double or some sick trick to my friends in school, people will always hear me and say
gaper- "Yo did you see simon dumonts trick in x games last year. Dude its crazy watch it on youtube. He does like two frontflips and acts like superman in the air."
me- "did you see jon olson or pk hunder they did cool tricks too"
gaper- " no who the fuck are those guys... simon dumont is way cooler."
*no hate to dumont, just pointing put gapers obsession with him
 
Some kid on his snowboard was telling his girlfriend on skis that skiers hate powder. It snowed 28 inches the night before. I just agreed with him.
 
My lil bro got on a lift with a complete gaper, gaper turned to my lil bro and asked, are there any blacks on this mountain? My brother replied "No I don't think black people do snow sports they're not acclimatized"
 
They are great for doing what we call the slush cup here, you try to glide over a pond of water at the bottom of the hill on the last day of skiing, if you make it big prizes. But for behind a boat edges on waterskis = death.
 
pretty much an awe fest in the lift line while we were waitng. One of my friends has a pair of lizzies that always gets comments about how wide they are, another has moment reno jibs and people ask about the square tips, and when bored or when people start riding on my back tips in the lift line i start buttering.

HOLY SHIT HIS SKIS ARE GONNA BREAK! pretty much hear this on a daily basis. Pretty much just a lot of random ass comments
 
i got a good one from this morning at school

kid[talking to other kid]: ya my first really big jump was when i was 7. but for some reason there was a rail behind it!
 
gaper - so those are them acrobat skis?

me - sure.

gaper - wanna show me some 'flippy doo dads'?

he proceeded to follow me through the park clacking his poles together everytime i did anything at all. i hope people didnt think i was with him.
 
A spring day on the Snowbasin Gondola [it was like 45 degrees the day before and like 20 this day, so naturally the place was an ice rink].

Gaper: I'm from the East... You know what they say about skiing the east.

Me: Haha Yeah not the best?

Gaper: Yeah I'm loving it here. Best ski day I've had in a decade.

Me: uh????????
 
ok, this thread is turning into a fail, i can find 4 quotes on this page alone that are complete lies,

and worse of all it is becoming an argument of people saying

"be nice to gapers"

and people being complete dicks to gapers,
