You might be a Gaper if

[eastcoastskiier]

your a gapper if:
- you buy a new pair of skis, and have the shop adjust the bindings to your rear
entry's

- You buy a pair of flat used skis at a swap, and have the local shop take the
bindings of your straight skis and mount them on the new ones.

- you get offended when you take your skis to the shop to get the bindings adjusted
and they tell you that they are no longer able to work on them

I guess she'll never have to worry about getting shot by a hunter.

She might get shot at Hunter

-if you think a fall line is a kind of country dance
-if you think a bunny slope is a petting zoo for the kids
-if you are amazed by all the people on this site who love to carve mashed potatoes, why would anybody use a knife on potatoes?

You'd be able to see that guy if he was holding that same pose, on the other side of the road all the way over in Tuckerman's

#14 - You have every lift ticket you ever purchased attached to your jacket.

-You prefer snowboarding over skiing and are vocal about how lame skiing is and how rad you are for snowboarding. OMG UR 2 EXTREME, BRAH!!1. CAN I HANG??? Easily giving away gaper snowboarders since the early 90s.

-You buy all yer gear at Ski Market. every year.

-You haul your new gear around with your trusty 'ski tote.' bonus points for utilizing the spring loaded 'boot tote' as well. So handy!

-You still have lange 'mid entry' boots.

-Probably already mentioned: the mighty CB jacket. bonus points for dayglo orange and black.

-You wear those red neoprene nose and mouth gaiters ski shops used to sell a ton of.

- You break out your 210cm Olin Mark IVs and look with disdain at the little wimpy short skis people are using these days.

- While riding the chairlift, you watch a jersey-turner tear up the blue groomer below and marvel at 'how close together his feet are'.

-Your hands have a death grip on the safety bar before anyone else is even seated, and you release the death grip only when your skis touch terra firma again.

Ugh... flashback.. I remember my parents giving me a lime green 7up jacket they were giving away if you mailed in a zillion whatevers. It had the logo on the left breast and the sleeves unzipped to make it a vest.
I think I buried it in the yard..

THAT'S SO FUNNY!!!!!! :lol:

Wait, he's talking about me.....

Burke has one trail open....about 1/4 of a mile long or so...and it is 150 roundtrip miles from here.

What's better is the guy who stays home in NY/NJ and misses a great pow weekend at K-mart. :wink:

...If after double ejecting you wrestle with your skis for a long time because you put your up hill ski on first and can't get your down hill ski on.
