Beginner in skiing
It is also a term for beginners on a downhill skiing mountain, generally coming from either Texas, Virginia, or California. Many mountains have a "gaper day," where locals to the mountain dress up as beginners. These people over estimate their skiing ability and have a "yard sale" as they spill their gear down the mountain slopes.
