Like if you wear all saga and full tilts and you can rodeo then is the guy not a gaper? Like where is the line of being a gaper
 
someone who cant real ski and/or someone who has a gap between. thier helmet and goggles. i dont think it has anything to do with freestyle really
 
any bare forehead showing between the goggles and helmet constitutes gaper status.

Haha you stole PJS icon. But gaper doesn't mean bad, it's mostly getting in the way in the park, hitting the jumps onto rail.
 
i'd say getting in the way in the park, or quite literally, people who gape at other people, and usually don't really understand what they're seeing. and by extension, don't understand a variety of skiing concepts to an often absurd extent

I hate the idea that i keep seeing (not really in this thread so far, but i usually see it mentioned) where everyone that wears stuff that a lot of park skiers wear but doesn't spend time in the park is suddenly a gaper. to be quite frank, unlike a vast majority of you, i don't spend much time in the park, but i quite frankly love my salomon 2012's for their general all round awesome mountain capabilities, my extremely comfortable full tilts, and my oakley outerwear. if you like the terrain park, that's sick, if you like skiing elsewhere, awesome, don't tell anyone what they can and can't wear cause of where they ski.
 
sidejumper, hits ride-on boxes 50/50, gaper pole tuck, jeans, pants tucked in their boots, steps on your skis in the lift line, holding their skis incorrectly, and just generally knowing nothing about skiing
 
You can't consistently define a gaper, you just have to spot them at the hill and make fun of them with your friends.
 
HAHHAHAHA SO TRUE

I was literally about to say if your creating a thread about where the line between gaper and non-gaper is, you might just be a gaper.
