Word on the street is that Leo's Shack at Breck has been destroyed thanks to our good friends at Inside Edition. Can anyone confirm? In case you don't know what Leo's is, is is the best smoke shack in the world.

we MUST REBUILD.
Honestly, we have to stop complaining about it and figure out a way to effectively beat the system to get ourselves a new shack. The old Leo's looked amazing but where there is an end there is a new beginning. I know Vail is looking like a bunch of corporate cronies right now but if we can show them that Leo's truly has a place in our hearts then we might be able to come to an agreement. It's petition time.
Who's with me?

ski resorts only care about the money aspect of things and would never stop selling alcohol.......although i agree the drunk people are way worse than being high. You can do almost anything high without being negatively effected but imagine someone being drunk before competing in the Olympics

let me rephrase.....someone who is very drunk over someone who is very high is worse but drinking isn't that bad if you are just casually drinking

I thought you had to pay for your own education in the US?

Wow.  You can do ANYTHING high without being negatively effected?  You are a dumbass.  Let me guess you can do anything drunk without being negatively effected?  And for the dudes that are getting pissed about the 30 year old scumbag comments earlier.  You probably aren't doing anything with your life otherwise that comment wouldn't have struck such a deep chord with you that required a fiery response.  And get over your shacks.  Waaaaaa Waaaaaa my smoke shack is gone!!!  Its called life in the US of A where there are laws.  Sometimes the laws suck.  If you don't like the law go spend some time trying to get new legislation passed.  Oh wait you just want to go ski and smoke weed so that would be way to much work.

On a completely different note, I can't believe Vail gave permission for those clowns to set up shop and place those hidden cameras.

On top of all of that those retards who they filmed really dropped the ball. They could of at least shown some discretion, I understand they aren't embarrassed and they shouldn't be, but Jesus they literally couldn't have given any better interviews to fit their agenda for writing that article.

Had all those guys been like the one dude who said "don't film me get that shit out of here", then there would be hardly be a story report. But now they were able to biased everyone into thinking that "you physically can't smoke and ride without being a hazard to yourself and everyone around you" all thanks to those two moron snowboarders at the end who actually ran into each other and fell like a dozen times.

you totally, and completely wiffed(that means missed) on what i said. Im gonna assume english is your second language.

firstly, either his parents payed for his college or he recieved scholarships. either way he is giving a middle finger to whomever payed for him. I know he personally didnt pay, because he is not in the process of paying off his loans.

I specifically said people WITH a college education who intentionally do not use it, instead choosing a hedonistic lifestyle while taking advantage of government supplied benefits meant to help the poor, are parasites. I said, those benefits are meant for people who dont have the opportunity(college education) to move themeselves out of poverty.

I have zero issue for people who are independent, have never taken charity they didnt need, are working their butts off and are enjoying life.

I take issue with people who take charity they dont need so that they can live a hedonistic lifestyle...like the guy i was talking to.

Fine, I see your point. Ish. My english is fine, Im just not familiar with your system at all. Over here education is completely free, you can even get money monthly from the government as a student, a subsidy or a loan, or both. The subsidy is completely free (tax funded) and the loan you then pay back (duh) when you are done with school. So with your definition I (together with all of my friends who go through Uni, get money and then do not immediately start working with something "real" after graduation) are hedonistic parasites.

^all this is way off topic, but what I think was stupid in your post was that you made the dude sound like a complete bum leeching off society. For chrissake hes 21 years old and is already done with college. I fail to see how him enjoying his youth being a parasite. What he does with his life isnt really any of your business imo.

To all those people saying that ski bums "aren't doing anything with their lives" What exactly is it that you think they should be doing? I agree that people should not take advantage of government subsidies, but what about everyone else who is doing it legit? There is absolutely nothing wrong with setting your life up to be able to ski as much as possible and live a hedonistic lifestyle. There is no rule that says you have to work your way up the corporate latter, get married, have 2.5 kids, and buy a house. These dead end jobs don't benefit society? really? Tell that to anyone who works in the service/hospitality which makes up the majority of the job market in ski towns. I pay my taxes, I don't collect unemployment in the off season, and I love every day of my life. I feel sorry for anyone who is immature enough to feel the need to prove that they are "doing something with their lives" What the fuck does that mean anyways?

yes, i believe you are a hedonistic parasite.

I think you should have done your skiing/funtime deal first, and then used your governments money to your advantage after you were done with that life.

I dont think anybody should take charity if it isnt absolutely neccessary. obviously you have no intention of putting your governments money to good use in the immediate future, so in my mind you backed out of the deal you made with the government- they pay for your education, you use that education to contribute to the economy.

Right now you are an net negative to your country, because you want to live in lala land, put off adulthood, and have as much fun as possible now...and you can do it relativly worry free because you have a government supplied safety net, in that education they paid for(taking unneccessary charity).

Half of their ticket revenue is season passes, other half is day ticket sames. Not miniscule.

Your forgetting about food sales, hotel rooms, alcohol from the bar.

Net income attributable to Vail Resorts, Inc. increased 129.4% to $37.7 million for fiscal 2013, compared to the prior fiscal year.
Excluding the Acquisitions:
Total Mountain net revenue increased 9.3% for fiscal 2013 compared to the prior fiscal year.
Mountain Reported EBITDA increased 16.5% for fiscal 2013 compared to the prior fiscal year.
During fiscal 2013, we closed on ten Ritz-Carlton Residence units, twelve One Ski Hill Place units and a land sale in Breckenridge. Net Real Estate Cash Flow for fiscal 2013 was $27.5 million.
Sales of season passes through September 22, 2013 for the upcoming 2013/2014 ski season were up approximately 19% in units and approximately 23% in sales dollars versus the comparable period in the prior year. Based on historical patterns, approximately 55% to 60% of our total sales are made by this date.

people with a college education that they didnt FULLY PAY FOR THEMESELVES, who take "shitty" jobs just so they can have fun are parasites.

Do what makes you happy! be free! just dont take charity in the form of an educational safety net that other paid for.

When you are given money, by the government, your parents(they recieve tax breaks for paying college tuition), or private donors, for schooling it is under the agreement that you will use that schooling for the benefit of society. Ski bums wiht a degree renigged on that deal.

Ski bums who never made such a deal, are kicking ass, and living up to their societal responsibilities. They are beholden to no man or government because they are doing it on their own.

I was just merely commenting that of money that comes from tickets, around half (or 38% as someone else in the thread mentioned) come from season passes and the rest from day passes which runs counter to the statement made by the other individual that "season pass sales are miniscule"

I in no way said being a ski bum is a waste of your life, I don't care what you do. Just don't do heroin, and be a shitty person, that was my point. I don't know why all of you are saying I think I'm so much better than you, and you all need to work in an office.

I feel like there is a stoners ediquette that only one dude understood in this, the dude who told the reporters to back the fuck off.

All the other idiots trying to prove how high they were only added the the argument they are trying to support. Thanks for supporting a misconstrued stereotype you dumbasses.


And now that great shack is no more. Anyone else find it ironic that they burnt it down?

That shack looks ridiculous. How many man hours do you think were spent building that thing? How do you even build something like that? I ski the shitty poconos where you could never "hide" something like that. My mind just can't really comprehend how something like that could exist on a resort and not be destroyed long ago.

Horses eat apples, check mate. And just so everyone knows, every summer groups of people go to the mountain and make shacks, I can one hundred percent assure you they will rebuild it.

Your very wrong on this one. CJ's is considered a historic building and is actually now listed on the Breckenridge trail map. But when they did this a couple years ago, they put a lock on the door so you can no longer go inside of it.

YOU ARE A REAL FUCKTARD. How long did you spend in Breck? I would raise my kids there in a heart beat. You make it seem like there are drug addicts just wondering the street all the time. Ever thought you were just always in the situations where there were drug addicts. (Fucking Druggy) In my experience, you can find drugs but you have to look for them or be at a shitty bar like Cecilias or Liquid Lounge. I have lived on and off in Breck for the last 27 years and i have met some of the most amazing people you could ever meet. Breck has so much more to offer other than just skiing. The summers up there are the best because all the fucktards like you move away.

Lived there for 2 years year round, I have no idea why, and your the third person to imply this I lived there seasonal, I didn't. Obviously I'm not going to win this argument on a ski website, but that is my experience of living there for 2 years, that's how I felt. Maybe it's true, maybe its not, but any one else can feel free to move out there live there for 2 years and see for yourself. you also seem to be missing my post that I also met some of the most successful, amazing, interesting people while I was out there as well, its not all bad.
