Our first Gaper Day 2008!! For those that don't know what a gaper is gaper: A gaper is a skiier or snowboarder who is completely clueless. Usually distiungished by their bright colored clothes and a gaper gap, the gap between goggles and a helment/hat. Gapers also do the "Gaper Tuck" which is an attempt at being a ski racer by tucking, however, it is done incorrectly with the poles sticking straight up like thunderbolts and lighting, very very frightning! Gapers also sit at the bottom of jumps and try and go big off table tops in the park. Here are the rest! http://www.facebook.com/photo_search.php?oid=9462843469&view=all
If this refers to the "Gap" I'd put another "P" in there. or hyphenate it. I always though a gaper was someone whose anus was stretched so far that it wouldn't close anymore. TAP = Tapped, Tapper, tapping. TAPE = Taper, taped, taping. Gap = gapped, gapper, gapping Gape = Gaper, gaped, gaping.
At Big Sky Ski Resort in Montana (my home mountain) we had the same thing only it was called Dirt Bag Day. Same concept. It also always include beer. Most people would ski/snowboard with a backpack full of the crappest beer around. Key Light was "the good stuff" on that day.
