Gaper Day The Beginning of April brings the fools out for gaper day

Skiers and Snowboarders have had a natural feud for years but out of that feud "Gaper Day" was created. The origins of Gaper Day are suggested to have started in the early 1990's in Breckenridge, Colorado as a few snowboarders dressed up to make fun of skiers.
