I enjoy smokin' the green stuff while skiing, but I have also found that getting high and trying to learn tricks in the park isn't

I've got a friend who can sack up like none other after smoking. Not only that, but he's more coordinated when he skis. Personally, I love smoking, but I can't combine it with serious athletics. Sure, it's fun to fuck around, but I can't skate or ski that way I want to for my life when I'm ripped

When I ski high it doesn't really make me any worse and it even helps me sack up a little, but when I ski really high I get pretty sloppy and start fucking up shit I've been stomping all day.

skiing high in the park can really suck sometimes. for me i just loose control of my legs a little so i always get messed up on rails. but it really doesnt effect my ability on kickers if anything i do better because i go bigger and i dont stress as much about falling, and it is so fun to leave the ground when your high.

gets the mind going, but physically definetly doesnt help for the most part. blazing and riding pow in the trees is religion though.

im pretty positive it depends on the person. I tried it once and couldnt do shit cause i didnt know how fast or how slow i was going into shit. then i told my friend brett (really good skier at whistler) that skiing high is impossible for me. he laughed at me and told me thats the only way he skis ahaha.

getting high and skiing is like drinking and skiing, you reach a certain point where your abilities are compromised. I have personally done my best skiing while being slightly high and listening to music

personally i generally suck at skiing when im high, it's still fun tho, especially cruising pow and junk. But i also think it varies from individual to individual.

i have to say, been high and learning new tricks, dose not help me at all. It just makes me worst because i don't have 100% concentration on what i’m doing.

yeah, I love skiing more when I'm not high.  I can still do tricks, but my timing feels all off.  I would rather smoke and just chill.  Good for variety though

If you can't enjoy being out in the mountains and fresh air on a powder day or in the park without smoking up you should quit life all together.  No, I'm serious... Just stop EVERYTHING! Sleeping, eating skiing, school, work, whatever it might be.  You're pathetic!

Rant over

I agree with you guys some people can and some cant
i love skiing park high but only doing stuff i already know. if im learning a new trick then its not the best but the one above all is still pow and bud just a match made in heaven

if you can't enjoy ripping a huge pow line totally ripped, then you my friend have problems.......no ones saying it isn't fun to ski pow without smoking, we're just saying it is possibly one of the most enjoyable stoner activities around (right up there with surfing and longboarding)

i cant take park serouisly at all when i am.

but just messing around when you are or just bombing to the park is so much fun...and its even better if you have your tunes with you.

for some reason though i found out if i do it the day before i have a lot more concentration in the park like i can focus a lot better.

i'd come to the conclusion that it's whatever your really comfortable with... this was like a narrow down box set up urban so it was pretty easy to get the feel for. if it was like 2 feet higher and a down rail though i probably wouldnt have learned all that shit, you gotta be fairly mellow.

once I smoke I want nothing to do with the park, I like the trees or the pow.  Probably why I don't spend much time in the park.
