Mammoth sold out :

http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/6-Accused-of-Trading-Drugs-for-Ski-Lift-Tickets---.html



Sheriff's deputies have arrested six Southern Californians who allegedly brought illegal drugs to a ski resort hoping to trade them for lift tickets, officials said Tuesday.

Sheriff's deputies advertised their sting operation on Craigslist.org, offering to sell Mammoth Mountain lift vouchers in exchange for narcotics.

The six people from Orange County, San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles came to Mammoth Lakes, gave the agents the drugs and were arrested Friday, officials said.

Deputies seized about a pound of marijuana, a fourth of an ounce of cocaine, Ecstasy tablets and prescription medications.

Sheriff's spokeswoman Shannon Kendall said this was the first time the department has used a sting to target drug dealers.

Wow, that is a lot of drugs for lift tickets. How much money would those drugs estimate out to being worth?

for the love of skiing, right?

no but seriously, they're involving a mountain in their crackdown in drugs? it's like they're directly saying "skiers and boarders are drug lovers, let's trick them with the proposition of free tickets! mwah ha haaa" i mean yeah sheriffs, do your jobs, but i mean at least the druggie who spends the day at the hill isn't on the streets stealing and shit. i don't know. weird method, not impressed.

i certainly don't condone the sherrif's actions, but the guys who got busted are fucking retarded.  seriously?  responding to an ad on craigslist about someone wanting drugs?  idiots.  and what were they trying to get?  season fucking passes?  a quarter ounce of blow/an elbow/some scripts for lift tickets?!?!  not to be a dick but you deserve to go to jail - not for drugs, but for being a moron.

Was this a sting for a specific group of dealers? I would be irrate if I was a citizen in that county and the police spent that amount of resources to take down a pound of weed and a tiny bit of coke, fucking morons.

i dont believe that. thats way to many drugs to trade for lift tickets.

at least $4500 give or take

i mean shit that pound alone is anywhere between 3000-4000 depending on a few things. and i dont even know the going rate for a 1/4 of blow and some bombs.

the pound could've been in the car, i'm sure the police took everything that those people had not just what they were trading for tickets

alright well we get lbs for about 2600 to 3000 max, and a oz of blow is a hefty little fee.. coke runs like what 60 a g? so times 28.5.. plus some thizz at anywhere from 5-15, never 20 unless its liquid mdma with a no cut press.. and im pretty sure they didnt bring a whole lot, def not a roll.. id guess about 30-40? so estimated about 5grand.

but hey thats just prices in the PNW
