Gapers and non-free riders in the park

I fucking hate it when gapers and non-free riders ski in the park. I mean it's fine if beginners are trying to learn, but just stay in control!

Today I was just in the park, standing above one of the features, about to drop, and all the sudden, I'm on my head. I get up and find some gaper, on his ass, downhill from me. Turns out, he was going straight down the hill, no turns, hit a small bump and flew directly into my legs.

Has anyone else ever had an unfortunate encounter with a gaper?

I have a huge problem with this at one of my home mountains. There are more gapers than people using the park correctly. I actually got in a heated argument with a ski instructor because he brought his 7 year old skiers in the park. Theyre final test was to roll over the take off of a jump. It wasnt even a freestyle lesson. Fucking bullshit if you as me.

This happened at my home mountain last year a few times. After some kids sprayed and threw snowballs at him, my friends and I pulled the instructor aside and explained to him why it was dangerous and he apologized and I never saw it happen again. Sometimes people aren't assholes they just don't know better.

Yeah but he respected you guys. This guy went off at us after one of my buddies said something. Saying a bunch of derogatory things toward park skiers (thugs, think we own the mountain, etc) and that when I got mad and just started tearing the guy apart. This continued on the lift ride up (he was behind us), and then he threatened to call ski patrol and i encouraged him to. fucking douche bag.

This is all that happens at my hill. I only know 3 skiers my age at my hill. The rest are 13 year old gaper snowboarders. They sit in crowds of like 20 after every landing. In the time that i hike a rail 4 times they are all just sitting in the way. So annoying
