There's really no other way to put it.  If you get offended reading this, it's cause it describes you. I'll be totally honest, this is relevant to so many.... and it throws light on how skiing is represented.  To a lot of you, it's all about the so called lifestyle and less so the actual skiing.  People hiding beers with them on the chairlift or smoking weed on the way up....are you serious?  How is it that you need that extra buzz just to enjoy skiing?  You can't enjoy the turns in fresh pow sober?  You can't accept that it's a PRIVILEGE to be able to live somewhere in proximity to a mountain with lift service and have the actual cash to afford it?  You're taking it for granted, plain and simple...and diluting your experience.  Stop ruining skiing by attaching the drinking and smoking to this sport.

To be fair, it seems as if it used to be worst; many skiers during the 70s had coke running through their veins...

Also has anyone heard of this?

Has taken over the skiing culture... or the skiing culture emerged from drunk and high skiers being ridiculous? It's always been this way and to be quite honest I enjoy skiing as much sober as I do high or drunk! I just sometimes like to get the party started at around 1 or 2 PM rather than waiting for apres! Life is sick and I appreciate everything I have dude. Flask of whisky, couple pocket beers and a few joints and golden for the day. Usually ski sober though, especially when I'm out touring in the boonies.

Allowance??? Shit......that was almost 20 years ago for me.
But for real, I don't drink while I ski, because I don't drink much and when I do, I drink to get drunk. So no good for skiing. At least for me.
However when it comes to blazing. I usually bring my G pen with me. Unless, there are children on the chair with me, your going to have to deal with it. 99% of the time, it goes unnoticed. The other 1% of the time, I could care less. What is the person going to do? Call the cops or patrol on me?

Worry less about what other people are doing. And for whatever it's worth, I don't smoke/drink while I'm skiing because I don't like feeling hazy on skis but to each their own.

yeah, sounds more like you joined a culture that you didnt understand. the image of newschoolersing (hotdogging) has always been FTP and get fucked up, stay fucked up. if you want good clean fun, go hook up with some dirtbikers, or skateboarders, or maybe some climbers, as these cultures would seem to be more your speed...

I'm guessing you ski 5-10 times a year... go back to marching band, you said you like it better anyways.

when your body is thrashed from 10 years of park skiing, beer and pot are sometimes necessary to dull reoccurring injuries. It's also pretty helpful getting over the new-trick jitters.

Partying has always been part of the skiing culture.

I do it and i think a lot of people do it for the same reason. It has less to do with skiing and more to do with the fact that we are all there for the same thing, and having a great time, and when we party, we are willing to experiment. Skiing has nothing to do with partying taking over, it's just part of a certain lifestyle. Young people like to take risks on and off the mountain.

Just because somebody is smoking or drinking doesn't mean they are advertising it. That is your ego trying to put them down because you're insecure..

By using the word "bud" at the end, i know you are a massive douche and most likely wrong without even reading what you said.

Fuck you dickhead. I like to do drugs and ski because the cold weather on the lift makes it easier for me to find a vein to shoot heroin into.

what in the fuck are you even talking about?

what does kids smoking on a lift, and me thinking theyre idiots, have anything to do with ego's and insecurities??

im not against pot smoking, or drinking. i just think there is a time and place, and its not on the lifts.
if you think that is egotistical or is showing my insecurities than you have obviously sniffed too many farts in your day.

Because you think they are flaunting their smoking and drinking. But that is actually you being jealous of them. Hence your ego messing with you. They're not bothering you. Just reminding you the person you're not.
