I used to think that smoking dope on the hill made me a better skiier, but then one day i figured out after watching footage is that smoking on the hill just makes you feel like your better... I think that it does, but im not sure

haven't read the whole thread but asking if alchohol and drugs affect skiing is like asking if it affects your body...
obviously-it does! though the effect varies from one to another as we're not the same...
some people just turn into shit faces after doing either alchohol or drugs, and some just act a little wierd..
i have a friend that smokes weed only when skiing backcountry because, he claims, it opens up his mind for new lines and such..
another friend, on the other hand, doesn't smoke anything nor does he drink alchohol on the mountain because he just needs to be 100% focused when skiing...

just know your body and limits, do what you want...
btw- adrenaline makes a similar effect on your brain as weed does, but in a much smaller dosage...

skiing pow on MDMA is literally the best thing i have ever done.

any drug in that realm (LSD, M, mushrooms) it just turns skiing more into a giant adventure. When you have all of whistler/blackcomb to chose from on a pow day, its literally overwhelming. You just kind of want to get as lost as possible with your friends in the forest and ski lowish angle glades. The park (especially rails) just seem utterly useless and absurd on mushrooms. especially when theres fresh snow.

Ive skiied park on MDMA, really fun but somewhat sketchy. you are more just overjoyed by the feeling of being so high in the air. anything over 540 seems to busy and hectic. ive only doen this once though.


weeds good but i find it hinders my confidence. burning out kinda sucks.

alcohol is great in the spring. If you dose it right, where you have your motor skills in tact but that loseness and confidence, you really do feel like a better skiier. you just know you can land tricks, even if youve only done that trick a few times. Most of the time you land pretty solid. The confidence just helps you commit, once the fear is gone, its like you are jumping on a trampoline.

That post made it seem like these are regular saturdays for me.
weed is the only one i consider myself to be a regular user.

Skiing on mushrooms was possibly the most distracting thing I have ever done in my life. I spent the vast majority of the day collecting leaves that I thought would mean something to me the next day. When i came down i realised i had wasted a day skiing blue runs because they were the ones with the most tree lines and thus opportunities to add to my collection. I do however realize that the topic was do they AFFECT your skiing so my answer would be yes, in a big way, yes.

No need for drugs to get that effect for me... That comes from my copious amounts of gnar.


That said, blazing in the woods during a snowstorm is excellent.

high skiing, sure, it's pretty fun, if you do it i've got nothing against you, but drinking and skiing is just dumb, seen some pretty intense injuries from it. That being said, skiing is literally the only hangover cure for me that work. When i'm hungover at home, there's nothing i can do to feel better, but when i'm skiing i don't even notice it.

Alcoholism and drug addiction obviously effect one's skiing by definition. Addictions and the "ism" are defined by adverse effects brought on by over consumption. Does drinking a few beers fuck up your riding? Of course not. Neither does sparking a bowl on the lift (assuming you've some sort of tolerance and/or you function when high). But when you're talking about someone suffering from some sort of chemical dependence, that's a whole other issue. Frankly, alcoholism and addiction in general cause a massive priority shift, it would seem that things outside the procuring and using of the given DOC just wouldn't be all that important to the person. But all of this is very grey and works on a spectrum, so depending on the person and their addiction, the level of dysfunction as a result could be vastly different.

I do hella drugs and get drunk every night, and I ski just fine.  As long as you don't mix E with tequila and weed, you'll be good.

It calms the nerves and increases the size of your testicles, drinking to much or being severly hung over on the other hand is a problem. It's funny that someone could be high as a kite and still hit the park or drive a car and weed is illegal while alcohol is legal and we all know drinking to much and hitting the park ends in trips to the doctor or jail, especially if your driving and drinking heavily.

you guys have some interesting logic. Drugs and alcohol might calm you you down but no way does it make you ski better. Its in your head.

hahahah that made me lol pretty good.

Alcohol- When i go out with my friends night skiing we'll generally head to the bar at our half way point for dinner and a couple pitchers. By the time we get back out we usually have a good buzz on. Thats what i think is key when skiing and drinking, you need to be BUZZED not full on drunk. I find skiing with a buzz on is super fun.

Weed- I like being high the most when im ripping down groomers or skiing tree's, not so much for park. But i know alot of people who love being ripped in the park... to each his own.

Personally what id love to try is skiing on coke or E, preferably E though. I can only imagine how fucking stoked id be on skiing and life.

But im also trying to completely stop doing hard drugs so im probably not going to try that^

Skiing High=Sex

Skiing Drunk= Not so much

Moral of the story:  Don't abuse drugs and alcohol but, if you manage to do so, do it skiing, its lots of fun (not drunk though).

the first drug I can find before I go skiing is usually the one I do. Somedays I open my desk and I find some weed other days I open my desk and find DMT. Big difference in the 2 when it comes to your skiing ability but both make for a great adventure.

There is only 1 correct answer. 

T Hall, T Wall, Candide and whoever else comes along all agree. 

Smoke all the weed you want when you ski, and only idiots drink whole skiing.  It's simple.  The kids I grew up with who drank or did cocaine on the mountain stopped skiing and went nowhere.  The one's that only smoked grass some of the best skiers in the world, film parts, olympic medals.  Wise up, Jah and nota else.

should be pointed out that alcohol doesn't calm the nerves, it inhibits important functions of the nervous system. not making a judgment here, just the more you know the more you... something or other

to quote Homer Simpson: "To Alcohol, the cause AND solution to all life's problems!"

Everyone enjoys a few apres ski brewski's after a rewarding day on the hill, but just make sure you don't get too deep to ruin the next day.

As far as weed, I used to be chronic, but over the years it's less and less (pretty much a post dinner, on the couch thing for me now). No dope on the slope for this guy these days ('cept for the odd inbounds pow day with a good group of friends). I remember when I used to always get super baked any time we'd do becon searches, 'cause odds were I'd be super baked when shit got real out there and I needed to be in the same mind frame.

I will say though, that mushrooms and skiing can be a very, very awesome experience as long as you don't eat too much. I've stomped the biggest cliff of my career while high on shrooms.
