End of contest, win right here.

I had better win for the "full fur pelt outwear kit guy" i found up at Loveland.

**Super G** · 12-29-2010, 03:23 PM

the hat, mustache, and cigar complete this ensemble nicely, and the red Bogner only adds to it.

This was the inspiration for our own gaperday in Vail, classic!

The bird hat is great, I was just thinking someone with a rediclious hat would be a good pic.

Chilean Miner Living It Up In Utah

Heroic miner, with a heroic stance, in a heroic outfit.

**gautama** · 01-06-2011, 03:40 PM

A dayglo day

The jeans, the dayglo tops, and the 80 something truckster as the back drop, a trifecta!

**LogMahal** · 01-06-2011, 04:03 PM

pond skim full gape

We believe in gaping on the reg. You can find us on warm sunny days on the hill swizzing jack daniels and doing hop turns all the way back to the car...here is a video of us doing just that. God we love getting all gaped, and what more...we love smith optics for mainly putting on our face to see through. "why have a shorter wider ski, when you can just have a longer one?" p. lazer

Springing Snowbird

This guy:
1) Thought of this idea.
2) Made it, attached it to his boots and duct taped it to his butt.
3) Got in the tram at Snowbird.
4) Let me take a picture.
He should actually win for K.I.R., however, i have no idea who he is.

Barbie and Ken Gaper

Mammoth Spotting

Spotted this guy on December 22, 2010 in Mammoth. The guy was sporting a one piece with some wickedly cool silver framed biking shades. I asked him about his pink backpack and he said it was his daughters. This guy was completely serious, an LA-er coming up for the week. A true gaper!
Thanks Smith!

'Nuff said

Gaperville to the max, brah! Kill me now.

**kmcclain** · 01-10-2011, 11:48 AM

Keeping it real, because we're keeping it real

While the vertical in CT is nothing extreme, the ubersteeze is. It's important to remind our young friends of the good 'ol days by keeping it real.

**snowsurfer187** · 01-10-2011, 12:12 PM

Keeping it real, for real

Man those Glacier glasses are sweet.

The Invasion of the Gapers contest is now officially over. Thanks for all the hilarious entries, good to see folks Keepin it Real. Congrats go out to Duder V for winning this contest with the parrot head lady. The one piece, Le Masque, and the fact that she is skiing with a parrot on her head just make this one too good to pass up.

I mean, who wears this stuff?!?
Duder V just send me a PM and Smith will send you a helmet/goggle/sunglass kit, plus you are now entered to win the grand prize trip to Antarctica!

This is the official start of the "Old School Tricks" contest. With X Games coming up, we need to get our bag of tricks dialed in. Submit a photo of your best old school trick to win. The Judges will be looking for all the old school favorites--spread eagles, daffy, double daffy, backscratchers, cossack, screamin' seamen, backflips. Mustaches and bota bags get extra points. Go for it! For more info check out the contest homepage http://www.tetongravity.com/contests/smith/
