Skiers and Weed

Hate all ya want, I have never smoked weed in my life. Never will. But I ride with kids who have/frequently do blaze when skiing.

Why do people smoke while skiing? Does it actually help with anything? Or is skiing just not fun without drugs to some people? Not trying to troll or anything, seriously wondering. Why smoke (and ski)?

420 blaze it faggot

but really, the correlation is kinda weak. people of all walks of life smoke. you could ask why so many yuppies do coke, but again, lots of ppl do coke.... you ever see those circle graphs that have overlapping circles, showing groups that overlap? a weed circle would touch a huge amount of other groups, from "accountants" to "athletes" to "couch taters"

Smoking the ganja= fun
skiing=fun
skiing+smoking the ganj= x2 fun
ill blaze occasionally when skiing. its really fun on a nice blower pow day and sometimes bumping wu tang with park laps but generally i could never smoke a lot and ski. it can help with my focus on rails or just having fun dropping cliffs into pow but trying to do things in air and on jumps..... i just huck myself every time and die. and yes i agree that you should open your mind up to smoking weed. it givs you a different way of looking at things and your perspective. maybe just try it once in your lifetime just to experience how it is but probably not while skiing. its nice and i really like smoking for school related things. ex: when i need to write a paper so i can have a more open mind from a different perspective and overall give a more captivating fun feel to the paper, art projects for creativity (pottery and ceramics class is very nice/fun while high), and occasionally for studying.

Sparknotes: skiing while high is very fun on big pow days when you just wanna mob through cliff lines, you should try smoking atleast once because of the different perspective it gives you, and i smoke for school because it really helps me with projects and creativity

Although I frequently partake in the dope I find skiing while high quite unenjoyable as it makes my knees week and I end up becoming too afraid to hit most features when I'm high

gaperzEDIT -

I know oxi is more serious than weed (by a lot). And weed in moderation may not cause problems... but personally I don't think that it's for everyone, and good on OP for sticking to his choices.


hahahaha I've seen people use aliases to basically agree with themselves, but never someone be so bad at it. I feel like the urge/need to create a fake account to agree with yourself on the internet is pathological and should probably be in the DSM.

This thread is incredible. Why do people smoke pot and ski? Pretty obvious that people who enjoy pot would probably enjoy other things they enjoy in conjunction. That's like asking why people like to drink and play pool. Well, because that person likes to drink...and also likes to play pool.

Sure, it's not for everyone, I don't advocate skiing and mind-altering drugs of any kind by the way, but c'mon, guy. How many things do you not do personally that are enjoyed by many others....or vice versa?

Alcohol sales at ski areas are through the roof. It's pretty much socially acceptable for people to drink and ski "buzzed", and we know beyond all doubt that even slight intoxication causes motor skills to deteriorate. I don't think it's really much of a leap to assume that someone with a moderate tolerance who smokes in all kinds of settings would probably have no trouble skiing, given that they are good skiers to begin with and that they presumably ski and burn often. I'm pretty surprised to see so many vocal opponents here of all places.

I won't even touch on the weed/oxy parallels drawn by your alter ego because that shit's just embarrassing.

shreddskiHe never judged weed. He just said that he didn't want to do it. You don't have to try everything to know whether or not you do or don't want to do it. I.e. cutting your dick off. OP doesn't want to do weed, good for him. His post wasn't demeaning people who smoke, or weed. All he said is that for him in his situation he doesn't want to do it. And he asked WHY other people do it, particularly while skiing. People on this site are typically straight up assholes to OPs, and it's disgusting. Their posts are blown out of proportion and taken out of context. Ski seasons over so lets go hate on people on the interwebz.

Damn. Just answer the question or don't, there's no need to try and act cool by mocking someone.


Jesus OP, how many aliases do you have? Let's get an IP check on this whiz kid.

Although I don't smoke and ski, I would like to ad that there is no police at the mountain. So it's therefore safer to smoke .

weed is bad.

weed is for snowboarders.

snowboarders are bad.

therefore you should not.

weed is illegal in most states and i like to abide by the law.

and even if i lived in colorado i probably wouldn't.

Skied high once. Enjoyed cruising through trees and on groomers but then my friends wanted to ski park and I didn't want to do anything so I went and ate pouting in the lodge until I sobered up. Found it kind of annoying so haven't done it since.

I think I'm better at skiing high since I pretty much always ski in an elevated mindset. Also, why not smoke and ski?

Skiing is of course amazing without weed. But with weed? Can be better. I blaze alot on powder days or just when I want to cruise and fuck around. It also makes music better which in turn gets you more pumped up.

give.emthebirdI fucked my meniscus, pelvis, and back (discs and vertebrae primarily along with a hemotoma) up pretty damn good about 16 months ago skiing. I got prescribed oxicodone for it (basically contin without the time delay), and I followed my prescription word for fuckn word, but I still ended up getting screwed by it. Picture the absolute WORST flu like sickness you've ever had. Times the weakness/aches by about 10 along with the feeling of pins and needles in every muscle in your body, and take away the stomach aches/cramps... then you have the pain of an oxy withdraw. You hit rock fucking bottom and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Cause you just can't stop railing this magic pill. Sleep gets boned, 18 hours feels like about 6... it's a mental and physical addiction that you simply can't beat. I can't tell you how to get off it cause I've never met anyone who's been able to. My doctor gave me no indication how addictive it was, or that withdrawal would be equivalent to living a week in hell. Intentional OD didn't do shit except put me in a hospital, and make things worse.

Living high isn't living homie, at least not with an oxi high. And the few times I have smoked, it's "fun" while doing it, but afterwards I feel like shit (granted I have no tolerance for drugs... hella lightweight haha). I know pot isn't nearly as serious (if it even is serious) compared to oxi. I'm just trying to say I feel where OP is coming from with his abstinence from drugs (and weed, if you don't consider it a drug like others). Once I kick Oxi, I'm not touching any drug again man, they fuck you (me, everyone's body reacts differently) up real good. And until I'm done with oxi, I'm not gonna use any other drugs (even weed). Not an anti-drug rant, sorry if it sounds like that man. Just a rant about how I feel what OP means. My buddies smoke tons, along with other stuff. They're way chill people still, and they aren't going to hell or anything haha. I have no issues with people doing drugs. But they aren't for me, and I get what OP is saying when he says he's not gonna touch it. He's smarter than I was.

Given the choice I personally wouldn't ever have smoked or taken a pill like that in my life.


Dont insult my lifestyle then call me homie

acid is the only drug i can ski on.

weed, booze, even cigarettes will really fuck up my day on the hill. ill just get tired, lazy, and scared of hitting things. acid however tends to have pretty opposite effects.
