a skier. Skiers are called gapers because of the gaping hole between their legs and skis. Also known to do the gaper
tuck. Has nothing to do with their hats and
goggles and is only
correct when used to describe skiers not snowboarders.
Distressed skier: Hey, you almost
ran me over! (...after almost being ran over...)
Punk snowboarder: Fuck you, gaper! (...rides off...) Eat
shit! (...runs into a
barney and breaks his collarbone...)
