We just call them potatoes. I hate skiing potatoes...
I think we had a whole thread somewhere about names for snow, both real (graupel) and vernacular (death cookies, chicken heads)

What's your preferred term for the clueless who endanger themselves and others as they stop to gape at the scenery around blind corners, under jumps, or in the middle of a high speed traverse?
Yes, it's mean if someone is making fun of others clothing and gear - I'm glad to see people getting out skiing no matter what they're wearing, or if their skis are 15 years old. But the ones who stand around on a traverse to look around when there is a huge line of people who can't get by and will now have to hike because you made them scrub all of their speed - all because you're too lazy and clueless to move off of the traverse to stop... they deserve a derogatory name. And "gaper" is one of the nicer things that come to mind.
I haven't been many places, but is there a name for the snowboarders who sit on the piste, learners I presume, waiting and waiting and waiting in the middle of were everyone else is skiing/boarding.
They are not particularly gappers but just sitting there? I will do 3 runs to there sit, why is that?
Just wanted some insite.
Any new words since 2011?
Recently northeast Divas were commenting about "mashed potatoes" because there was yet another warm spell in Vermont. Fair to say that it's not anyone favorite type of snow.
I don't think Jerry is offensive. I think Jerrys know they are Jerrys just by the passion in which they get sendy… my opinion of courseI was going to mention “jerry.” Is it as offensive as gaper?
I like “send it,” too.
I’m not a fan of the term “Jerry” because it short for Jerry’s Kids a.k.a. people suffering from muscular dystrophy.I was going to mention “jerry.” Is it as offensive as gaper?
