A lady from NY wrote Breck an open letter on the legalization of Marijuana. I think it is total BS and fucked but wanted to hear your thoughts. Heres the link>

"I think the public debate on allowing pot to be sold is completely off. The people who live this type of lifestyle can’t afford to support resorts like Vail that frankly cater to a demographic more like my own, and candidly, you don’t get to be successful by engaging in this type of lifestyle. Why am I going to pay to come to a resort where my son is exposed to these sorts of things? I don’t want him skiing or going anywhere on his own — he is a teenager, and why should he be shaped by these types of conversations?

Not only this, but it’s a safety hazard. Do you think I want people speeding by me on the slopes who were high the evening before?"

This lady is one stupid bitch.

Hahaha. The people that smoke weed can't afford Vail, yet somehow Vail is overrun with stoners?

" You can’t be a destination resort for high-earners and a pot-town at the same time"

Does she expect them to just move the resort or something? They had nothing to do with the legalization of marijuana in Colorado...

'I'm an important figure"

"I had a terrible ski trip, there was too much snow, the kids wouldnt stop complaining and my husband (who does not wear the pants) was just drunk the whole time. I'm going to write this open letter complaining about Vail because I demand that the resort control other peoples conversations because it is always someone elses job to take care of my children growing up"

"high-earners"

"caters to a demographic more like my own"

Slightly related, slightly not. But there are primarily two different types of people who ski:

A: those who live in the now and live every day like it is their last IE the ski bums working the resorts, blowing trees, and being the overall best skier on the mountain

B: those who have the attitude that they should work hard now with a "real job" so they can save up for vacations to ski, and invest so they can someday retire and live at the resort being one of these big spenders.

Problem with type B is that though they may bring lots of money to the resort and perhaps someday buy a multimillion $ mansion in the town, THEY WILL NEVER BE A LOCAL. THEY WILL NEVER HAVE FRIENDS. You can't buy things like that. And they're pissed off about it!

Also, I was very dissapointed. She's not even hot, at all. Maybe 40 years ago...

Great, you guys won't have to deal with bitches like that. Haha I like how she is mad at people for talking about smoking, are you shitting me? You don't like them talking about weed when you think your 16 year old son can hear them? And why the fuck does she say that you CANNOT be successful if you participate in smoking weed? That is fucking stupid all I imagined while reading that post was OP's mom bitching to everyone

Fuck, double post. "You can't be a resort for high-earners and a pot-town" I think she has a problem with the law in Colorado, not the fuckingg resort, they can't stop people from coming there if they have smoked pot

Well fuck her. But no one is making her come to Colorado. My favorite part about going to vail Is toking with cool people from all over the world. I went to decadence last night a huge concert in Denver and I saw more joints than I did cigs. The world is changing.

I'm sure her teenaged son from upstate New York is never exposed to weed back home.

yes, but its common courtesy to conform to certain societal standards of decency. Generally, if you don think the majority of people would feel comfortable talking about a subject at thanksgiving dinner then its probly not very polite to have a loud conversation about it in public with families around.

16 is too old for her to still be sheltering her son though.

And from my experiences being around the people that have a C and an O in their job title, those people partied hard in the past, and still party hard now when a situation presents itself. Ski vacations are a prime time for those guys and gals to relieve their youth, and let it hang out a bit.

She is way off base IMO, but her views represent the views of a LARGE portion of our country.
