A new skier with little to no skill, and insists to go on harder, higher speed trails only to keep their legs spread open wide and skis in triangle formation to stay slow the entire time.
Skier 1: "Dude, I was going down a black diamond and I almost ran into some slow ass gaper on my way down!"
Skier 2: "Ha, what a fucking idiot"
Gaper by Some Educated Clown November 29, 2020
A person from outside of the mountains (that includes you, Denver) who arrives during holidays or on the weekends and wreaks havoc on the mountain communities. Texans are often considered gapers (or “gapes”, colloquially) but make no mistake, front rangers (Denver, Boulder, etc) you are gapers as well.
The fucking gapers are bottling up I-70 and city market again , so I can’t go get some groceries.

Gaper Gap 

The large open space on the forehead of a gaper between the helmet (or hat) and goggles while skiing/riding. Also visible days after in the form of a sun burn or wind burn on the forehead.
Gaper: Man, my forehead got fried skiing this weekend!
Local: You need to pull your helmet down and cover your gaper gap.

gaper delay 

The resulting delay when drivers slow down to view an accident that occurred on the opposite side of the road.
There's a 3 mile back up on Route 29 Westbound due to an accident, and a 1 mile gaper delay in the Eastbound direction.

gaper's block 

The holdup in traffic caused by drivers slowing down to see what happened in an accident or other event on the road. See also rubberneck.
The wrecked car was cleared from the road but the traffic was still slowed due to the gaper's block.

Gaper's Block 

People that slow down when they see an accident in the road just to see what's going on often causing the people behind them to blare their horn at them to move on down the road!

Happens a lot of times on the Interstates and the speed limit is 60-70wpm!
Everytime we head up to Interstate 40 there is a accident on our side of the road and a Gaper's Block is sure to be seen!
