Can I use "Joey" for the CUBuff sport-jacket wearing skiiers who seem to manage to fall AND lose their ski's while standing in the lift line?

howa bout chachies, and goobs, goobular chacharies, these originated in the early 80s in the northwest commercial whitewater scene, aka gubernatorial candidates for carnaggio

I think Ralphie could be a spinoff of "Joey".
By the way, what is wrong with my CUBuffs jacket, they still have a good ski team? I only fell over in the lift line that one day I was skiing with grif, the schlitz went straight to my head, and altough I lost my skis they came back when I blew my whistle.

How about "lemmings" you know, up the lift..... dump em'off.

gape, gape, gape,..........................................dow n.

up the lift...gape, gape, gape.

From urbandictionary.com

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.

I also like "JONG" - jack off newbie gaper. I think JONG originated on TGR

That must be you out there with those old Burt Bindings:

Nothing wrong with the Buffs jacket, puffy, dirty, slightly too short for skiing jackets are HOT.

I'll try not to laugh and point next time- that Schlitz packs a punch!

First off, shame on y'all for not remembering your Childrens' Literary Comics (joke). The term Yahoo came from Gulliver's Travels. The Yahoo was the arrogant, ignorant crass human in the world of the Hwounymns (I KNOW I misspelled that one!).

As far as technical ski terms go... GAPER sounds right. I heard a new one whose origins are from the ADK's: SPORE, which would be Stupid Person On Rental Equipment. I've used it quite a bit this year.

Does anyone else find it terribly amusing that there are so many frontrangers on here debating what we call the tourists up here in the high country?

So, I heard a good one the other day... LTS Boarder (or skier). Lunch Tray Special as in riding on your heel edge all the way down and thereby grooming right down to the hard pack. I don't see it to much and it doesn't bother me too much but it sounds funny.

We weren't talking about tourists but the holier than thou residents of I-70 corrider ski areas, not that all y'all on I-70 are holier than thou.
