Gaper-Day is a mountain tradition that takes place in ski resorts across North America. According to the ski community, a "gaper" is a skier or snowboarder who is completely clueless, "usually distinguished by their bright colored clothes and a gaper gap, the gap between goggles and a helmet/hat."〔http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gaper〕 It is the day when locals can dress in the most ridiculous outfits and pretend to be like their gaper counter parts. There getup can range from no very limited clothing (only shorts) to the most retro ski attire there is. It is like the April fools day of the mountain. It normally occurs right around April when the snow starts melting and the temperatures are warmer. According to a local reporter at Jackson Hole Ski Resort, Gaper-Day "is a Spring right of passage for those who live in mountain towns. It's a day that can provide large amounts of entertainment as locals do their best to poke a little fun at the tourists with which they have dealt throughout the season."
