DiveBomber Posted November 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 AAHHH!!! the good old days of gaper dodgeing in the fog at snogualmie:eplus2: whats a gaper? Actually, Part of it is i want something bright, so I dont get hit! that why i got the bright yellow Burton pants from las season (but id love to find the yellow oaklye pants with the huge oakley down the leg) Frankly im almost thinking about wearing one of those strobes for cyclists.

Dan Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Awesome! Now that image-driven jibbers dominate the slopes, wearing something unbelievably heinous like this is extremely subversive...kind of like carving. I'm keeping an eye out for a neon one-piece myself, but haven't found it yet. Fortunately my 1990 teal North Face jacket is almost as ugly :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.T. Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 whats a gaper?Actually, Part of it is i want something bright, so I dont get hit! Sadly, color does not matter. Last season I wore an orange jacket; I got hit from behind twice. big mario got hit from behind while wearing a bright yellow jacket. Idiots will be idiots and what you are wearing will not matter.

philw Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Sadly, color does not matter. [...] Idiots will be idiots and what you are wearing will not matter. I used to wear black, but it looks crap in photographs so now I'm an orange/ yellow person. Never been hit though... I am truly paranoid however. I don't generally stop on a run, and if I do then I don't stop where people can hit me. I don't believe idiots are influenced by visibility... they don't have the control for it to make a difference.

pebu Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 We usually call them Cidiots. (Combination of the words City and Idiots, for those of you that don't understand...) Those that come from the city with their $100 thousand rigs and morbidly overpriced clothing to go play in the woods doing the same things we do for a fraction of the cost.

Phil Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Where you look is where you'll go. If you look at the snow, that's where you'll go. (my line for beginners) If you look at the guy in the neon for too long, that's where you'll go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_x Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Actually.... "Gapers" (should really be "gappers") are named for the gap between their hood and goggles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Gaper goes a little beyond the gap, saying they got the gap from standing around looking up, "gaping", as many people who have no idea what to do will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
