FOR IMMEDIATE GLOBAL RELEASE:
GAPER DAY The
Untold Story
This long-awaited release documents
the trials, tribulations and personal journeys of a select few of
the most progressive riders on the planet. Shot entirely
on 72mm film, the film takes the audience through an 11- 5 day with
these athletes as they embark on both a physical and mental exploration
of their environment and themselves.
As these athletes search for new
terrain, epic lines, personal satisfaction, and a wealth of information,
viewers will be left with a new found appreciation for dietary supplements
and soil. Months of protein shakes, vitamins, and absolute focus
are what these unique individuals go through to prepare themselves to
be prepared for this sport that takes place one day a year. Successfully
bagging lines that others don't even see let alone dream of descending,
the lines of what define a line are blurred beyond the point of recognition
and the definition of a line is defined in its truest form.
Through the innovation and foresight in interpreting the world around themselves, the conventional bubble of the skiing world is popped repeatedly. A film reminiscent of My Fair Lady, with so much grace and intentional yet subtle movement and coordination, causes images of cirque de soleil and Ginger Rogers to dance through your head. While bringing forth such a unique combination of mental imagery, Gaper Day uninspires the inspired and unmotivates the motivated. Gaper Day truly is...innovation undefined.
A highly entertaining recap of Whistler-Blackcomb's infamous Gaper Day, which took place earlier this week on Blackcomb's last day of operations for the 2010/2011 season.
Whistler Blackcomb closes out the season in the most memorable way possible with the annual and legendary Gaper Day. *updated with video*

Started back in the day at Breckenridge, it’s a time for hooting and hollering, partying and spring sunshine. I was able to make it out from SLC to partake.
