A Surprise Powder Day...on Gaper Day!!

Ah, yes. Everybody's seen them. Maybe you are one of them. Does your ski outfit contain hints of neon? Is your ski outfit tight? Are the legs on your ski outfit just a bit short and tapered? Is your ski outfit all one piece?? Does your butt look long, wide, and flat (otherwise known as a "mom butt")?? Do you just skip the ski outfit all together and wear jeans?? Then you're a GAPER! Here in Jackson Hole, we experience an unbelievable amount of gaping. One piece suits and neon clothing seems to get dug up out of closets from all across America and appear on the beginner slopes of Jackson Hole. Or maybe even the glorious Thunder Bumps run for the more "advanced" of the gapers. Yesterday was April 1st. Tis the day to celebrate the extreme amount of gaping that occurs here. It's the time when all the locals can let loose and finally wear that one piece that they've been hiding away for all these years. Or maybe they'll just dress up like something random...like a hot dog...or a banana...or a rabbit? No need to explain anymore. Check out the photos to see for yourself...Oh yah. It was a powder day too.
