Well I have the exact same ones as he did so I can't really be jealous, I just hate little kids that get whatever they want from their parents no matter the price or their skill level, and this is what my hill consists of mostly, kids that can barely ski and they're swagged the fuck out

a lady told me skiing switch was dangerous and illegal.... I however didnt have much of an argument as my brother had managed to nearly successfully take her out skiing switch when her and her friend were standing still on a huge empty run, needless to say I was more pissed at my brother than her

So now you have to be at a certain skill level to own certain gear? Sounds like more jealousy.

Im an instructor in Perisher, Aus and our locker room, like many others, isn't in a common place, and this entire family of non speaking asians waited outside until an instructor punched in the code, opened the door and they followed him in, thinking it was a public locker room. When they saw a room full of people in uniform, what did they do? Started undressing and getting their lunch ready. When we told them it was for instructors only, THEY ASKED FOR A TOBOGGAN LESSON. No joke.

Imagine this...
Opening weekend at fortune, nice, warm, bluebird day. I was kindly minding my own business, waiting in the mob in front of the fat butterbox. When i glance over my shoulder, to my surprise i see a wild gaper tail grabbing with all he had through the air, from off the jump for the picnic table box. He landed backseat going straight for me. By the moment off impact he was basically sitting down, at the last second he attempts to make a sharp turn away, and his mouth went straight into my leg. It hurt pretty bad, and i was like, the fuck just happened? He got up, said something in french, and then proceeded to slide half the butterbox and fall off early. So i said to my friend (Triforce) "dude, i just got bitten by a gaper, i may have gaper aids". The day continued but it just wasn't the same.

It was 100% for real, I even have an alibi, heres the whole story.

At 7 springs we get an incredible amount of gaper traffic through the intermediate rail park because it runs parallel to a beginner slope and gapers love to ride through and side jump. The rail park funnels into an intermediate jump line where all the sidejumping gapes end up. Because they are not comfortable with hitting real jumps, they just roll over the lip and waddle up to the knuckle to take a look around which causes a giant clusterfuck for the people actually trying to hit the jump.
I got snaked two runs in a row on the last jump and freaked out, yelled a bunch, and told my buddy "next run if theres someone on the knuckle I'm tapping them". Lo and behold, the next run there was a kid on rentals, in jeans and a hockey jersey standing just slightly to the left, almost in the center of the knuckle. I came in hot and lined up right for him. He saw me but froze up deer in the headlights style as I flew over him and tapped him right on the head. Turned my frown upside down.

oh, and springs4life can vouch for me.

Jeans were tucked in? (That was rhetorical.  We all know the answer.)

Oh my god haha PLEASE tell me that you ski at Eldora, my buddy just started skiing, had his parents drop $1200 on new skis, boots and outerwear, all those goodies...

His first day skiing, he goes straight into the park, and has barely been out since. He cant even hit a box and on Sunday we were skiing the moguls and it was just awful how bad he was...

Im pretty sure you'd be pissed too if a gaper had over a thousand dollars worth of gear that they can hardly use...you should stop trolling, at least I was just contributing to the thread with relative infromation

Another vent thread okay fine....fucking waiting for a drop in for a nice long line through the park, and there goes joe daddy with the little tyke straightline snow plowing over the knuckles, enjoying the steep landings as if they are training for bigger piste. I don't mind politely informing them of the dangers, but there's so many and it's overwhelming. The last thing I want to do is crush poor little stephanie 7 yr old. I've also experienced mach speed gaper idiots overtaking me out of nowhere, overtaking the jump, while I'm in the air, and jumping the side lip ONTO the landing. Death wish? Park skiing is like driving...some people are just morons.

Today there were some kids that decided that they owned the park....They were trying to film each other hitting a tabletop, but the camera guy was standing in the middle of the adjacent tabletop. I asked him politely to move to the side as there was a 10 person line up to hit the only table top....he not so politely told me to fuck off....so I hiked back up, stepped in, and bombed it straight at him....I hollered just as I was about to take off...he dove pretty quick. haha.

not necessarily gapers, but kids who stop after every feauture in a group and then getting all pissed and riled up when you "cut" them in line for the next thing when your trying to flow through the whole section. I understand if its between sections where theres open space, but after every fuckig rail, jump or box makes it take 45 min to get down the trail if you wait

I just keep riding...if the kids want to stop and talk about how they almost stomped it, then they can sit there and watch me ski right past em.

*ahem*   Seriously?  You're a fucking joke.  You don't even ski.  The pizza wedge is technically more than you can even do.  Howsabout we call a spade a spade and remind everyone that you're trolling a skiing site as a total non-skier, yet your overwhelming self-riteousness allows you to talk shit about skiers when you would probably be killed on the handle tow bullwheel after getting your mitten string caught.  The bunny hill?  It might as well be the full Haute Route with a Corbet's/S&S or two mixed in for good measure to you, ya fuckin' bedwetter.       

Now, where were we again?

This thread Is stupid. Love the gaper tap story! Swear there was a video once before of something like that. As for me, I get to many good laughs out of gapers doing funny things I don't even bother hating.

the guys i moved to PC with last year did this after EVERY feature, except the three kings line, only one of the guys knew not to do it, so me and him would stand very far away or off in the trees or drown ourselves out of embarassment. they got bitched at a lot and never learned. even the gapers knew to stay out of the way

Ive wanted to do this for quite some time... Lately at my hill kids have been thinking the first jump is a drop-in for the second... And the second jump is a drop-in for the next rail...

So what? Nobody said you had to be a skier to join this site. I like the social networking aspect, and NSG is totally fun! Why would I waste my time doing something outside in the cold and wet during winter when I could sit inside, play video games, and browse the internet?! Your stupidity boggles my mind.
