Some thoughts:

- Most of these pics were probably taken at Gaper Day in some resorts. They were probably trying to be ironic. Big difference between people making fun of gapers by dressing like them and gapers.

- Women can dress in any outfit no matter how outrageous and it will be fine by me. They will probably look great too. Guys don't get the same free pass.

- There was a guy dressed in that Borat banana hammock/man thong at Tux once. Not funny and not cool.

- Somebody on this board knows that girl in a snow bunny outfit. IIRC, that shot was taken at Wachusett.

- There is nothing funny about a woman skiing in a bikini. A woman skiing in a bikini is pure awesomeness!!! This is the winter version of women surfing in a bikini. This should be encouraged and not mocked. We need a whole thread on this.

I do like the general statement about skiing in jeans though. I always find that so bizarre, that has to be horribly uncomfortable, especially if you start sweating.

Is this true?

Refered to as a gaper because of the gap between their hat and goggles, also known as a gaper-gap.

I never actually new that (I must be one :lol I figured it had to do with standing around with your mouth open (gaping).

I like this definition

6. gaper

This is acutally an acronym that stand for Guaranteed Accident Prone on Every Run. Referring for a skier or snowboarder, usually wearing bright 80's ski gear that cannot ski or ride, or a tourist in a mountain town who walks around with their mouth agape in awe of the mountains!
That gaper got out of control and crashed into a tree!

Those gapers are stopping traffic standing in the middle of the street taking a picture.

Skiing in jeans is plenty comfortable.

No. Gaper pre-dates the wide spread use of helmets.

That guy is a real douche bag.

If the air temp is 65 or higher, jeans should be mandatory for ski area skiing. Nothing ironic or gaperific about it. Comfort, utility, car to hill to bar. Ready for anything.

Are you tugging on a loose thread to see if the sweater unravels?

My newest goal for this season - try skiing in jeans to see what all the hype is about. Is it cheating if I put 2 layers of thermals underneath?

Come on up to the Institution with Puck It. :razz:

Almost everybody who grew up in the 1960s and 1970s had to have skied in jeans. I skied in jeans all the time. If it was snowing or raining I wore insulated ski pants. They were pretty warm which is why I skied in jeans. Quite a few people wore tight, stretchy, form fitting ski pants. I would rather spend my money on skiis/boots/bindings. I remember HS bus trips to Hunter were everybody on the bus was wearing jeans.

I did usually wear 1 layer of thermals under the jeans.
