Oh yes, it happened. If you were there, you'll never be the same. If you weren't there, you'll have no choice but to live life wondering how much more complete you might feel - having experienced Gaper Day - Whistler - 2008.

Words cannot describe the display of sillyness, ferocity, passion, fashion innovation, and blasphemy that made up Gaper Day 2007 - a day for all gapers to be proud of. It was in the cards, the most epic winter season in memory could only be followed by an even more epic season ender bender. The slushy snow conditions were prime, the temps - a smoking 30 degrees celsius, and the stars were aligned. We think.

June 5, 2005 is a day to mark on your calendar. Hell, it's worth buying a calendar for. The umpteenth annual GAPER DAY will be going off once again on the last day of Whistler's ski season. It's only 2 weeks away, so we thought everyone might need a little inspiration. While in Europe in March/April, we went on a Gaper Patrol mission throughout Austria and Switzerland, here's just a select handful of photos from the birthplace and eternal homeland of flourescent one-piece suits. The rest are viewable on Flickr.
