I've found that the more relaxed I am when I ski, the better I ski. I guess it just depends on how weed affects you. If you get all paranoid and freaked out when you smoke, it's probably not the best idea.
It depends on the person. I can't ski high for the life of me. However my buddy Timmy does literally 4 dabs, eats a piece of toast drinks a beer or 2 gets dressed takes another fucking dab and then we go ski. On the lift he smokes a bowl to himself and KILLS it in the park. So you can be me; or timmy.

Dont get me wrong I'm not ass I'm just not getting better nahmean. Well you tell Timmy he needa eat more than just a piece of toast cuz he know damn well when he in the lodge high af lookin at the chicken nuggets and pizza he wana grub nahmean.
I can barley do shit when I'm full on baked. That being said though if I can get just buzzed enough off a bowl or two, then I start thinking of really creative lines and it becomes easier to not think of what could go wrong doing a trick. Personally I'd rather use my pax instead of smoking. Doesn't make me feel out of it and lazy while I ski.
I honestly can't remember the last time I've skied sober (aka not drunk or high). Smoking is just part of my daily skiing experience. I usually only get drunk for gaper day or a really warm spring day.
I love smoking before anything physical but my bitchmade friends dont, so I end up just making a screwdriver with the OJ they sell in the lodge and some skyy, and rubbing coke on my gums like Henry Hill in goodfellas
oh and me and my buddies offered to smoke up lupe but there were kids around and he was like "shhh!" which isnt relevant
Whenever I smoke before any sport whether it's hockey, lax, or skiing I always have a good time but noticed it definitely makes me worse. Especially skiing bc I just wanna chill and try less features because I don't wanna eat shit but not everyone's like that
I can hardly put my boots and gear on baked, so hitting the park isn't the best idea. However, if I'm buzzed I'll do just as well as I would sober but with less thought put into it. I don't see myself doing any better high though,
My buddies and I usually toke up before or while skiing, and I honestly think it helps me in the park. Whenever I ski baked and listenin to some chill music I feel soooo steezy! And when I feel so steezy I ski so good

GeorgiaJibberSkiing baked is alot more natural to me than skating baked. Cant skate for shit when im baked.
I think it's a combination of skiing ability and tolerance. Cuz I get more relaxed the more high I get, and I have been snowboarding long enough that I ride better when I don't think about it. So I get as high as possible (like Timmy) before I ride. but I'm still learning how to skate well so I think it hinders me a little bit when I get stoned and skate.

what happens when you're not listening to chill music?
skiskateI smoke before I start coffee, so damn straight I'm getting a little lifted at the hill.
One of the first times I went snowboarding with my friends they had brownies and I was obvs not gonna say no but I had never done them before. So we went into this tree house/ropes course thing we have at the hill and they start smoking and I eat a brownie and young mingg doesn't know yet that they take a while to kick in so I eat another one and then another one and then they were done smoking and we started back down.
We walked for about 5 minutes back to the hill. I bent over to clip into my bindings and I looked up and god fuck did it hit me. Mind you, this is my 4th or 5th time snowboarding so I was still a little shaky with it. So we start to go and I can't tell my asshole from a hole in a wall I'm so stupid high. We get to the bottom after what seems like an hour, I unbind the wrong foot and start pushing fucking mongo on a snowboard which is super hard to do, but I did it anyways.
We get on the lift and I'm tweaking hard. The height was just like so bad. My friends said I was very unchill and kept asking if you can die from weed. And that I kept asking why they laced it? Chairlift ride from hell is over, I fall off getting off the lift because I'm pushing mongo like a damn idiot. My whole body is just so fucked at this point. I'm in a state of panic and confusion and I'm convinced I'm going to die from the brownies.
Several runs later my friends end up dipping into the woods and I was not about to do that. So I kinda follow next to them. But they dipped out right in front of me and we all collided and fell. I guess I ended up eating shit and screaming obscenities and my high ass caused a huge scene. I thought I was talking normal but apparently I was shouting lol. and that's when we all decided it was time to go home.
Moral of the story, don't do what I did, kids. I french fry'd when I should have pizza'd so to speak. And I did not have a good time.

Edibles don't kick in within even 15 minutes Mingg..
Granite_StateI honestly can't remember the last time I've skied sober (aka not drunk or high). Smoking is just part of my daily skiing experience. I usually only get drunk for gaper day or a really warm spring day.
First I should say that I don't ever ski the park now, and even in my ski bum days in Tahoe I did not ski it very much. I smoked then, just at night after leaving the hill. If I was going to have a mellow day, and not hit anything steep, I might smoke a bit on the hill. If I was going into the park, which meant 360's off little kickers and the smaller pipe for me, I might get a bit lit because I was not doing anything serious.
Now I only ski about 30-35 days a year, so I don't have the time to go into the park, because each day is too precious and my mountain has good terrain. I also don't smoke anymore so obviously I don't smoke on the hill, but if I were to have a mellow day in the spring on the small park, something I am very unlikely to do, I might smoke up if I still smoked.
It all depends on what it does for you. Smoking relaxed me at home watching TV, but could sketch me out in steep terrain. For some people it helps them relax in sketchy situations, so I can understand it then, but for me it just does not work that way.
You might want to try skiing sober and see if it affects you differently. You might find you ski better or more aggressively, or you might find you miss something which takes the edge off. The only way to know is to give it a go. I should add that I knew tons of guys in Tahoe who could ski at their highest live, dropping cliffs and sketchy lines, I just was not one of them. It just depends on you. It could be holding you back, or it could be helping you with anxiety.
Some people think they ski better high. I don't think this is true physically, you don't get more coordinated, but it might help them face their fears psychologically.
I should add that I have also lifted weights high. I never noticed a difference in what I could do and what I could not do.
Some people are able to study a ton in college, work out all the time, and lead a productive life while smoking in the morning everyday. If you are not one of those people, and you find it sapping your motivation, it might be time to cut back. You don't want it to limit the important things in life, and you don't want to limit your options in the future. In the scheme of things smoking pot is not all that important. It is easier to see that when you cut back, but I really caution against smoking too much. I saw lots of people get through school but not reach their potential because of weed. I smoked at night, so it did not have too much of an effect on me, but make sure you get your shit done. I will also say that I had certain roommates in Tahoe who still got after it just as hard everyday despite smoking every morning, and others who spent too much time on the couch playing video games. If you are playing video games too much it might be time to reevaluate things. Smoking pot can sap motivation in some people, if you find yourself to be one of those folks cut back. Like I said, it is not all that important in the scheme of things. You don't want to be limited in life at age 40 because you smoked too much weed in your 20's. Trust me, I've seen it and it ain't pretty. I do know 40 year olds with good jobs who smoke regularly, they just don't smoke before the office. It is different for everyone. Just figure out where you fit in and plan accordingly.

This. skiing sober is still great, but theres nothing like smoking a bowl or whatever and just gettin in the groove with some tunes and shit
only if i know it's going to be a chill day with nothing to worry about. if i know i'm gonna have to show off or try some new tricks i'll stay off the weed and smoke up when i'm done at 4/5 with others. also, if i do i go light. I once hit the park after doing a little too much and that was a shitty experience for everybody, not just for me...
i find when i just dont smoke i stay a lot more focused, if you do smoke youd probably be a lot less scared to try stuff but the execution could be a bit poor. thats how it is for me at least.
Bodhisattva_Why would you ever worry about having to do anything while you ski ??
I find myself having to show kids who's boss sometimes. It's not something i enjoy, but i need to shut them up sometimes or they start to become really annoying. Respect is key where i come from
Basically always smoke and drink on the mountain, only time it fucked me up i took too many dabs and went for a backie on a 60ft booter. Somehow forgot to pop, at that point im flying through the air just looking at the sky and i realize its not gonna come around, managed to flail myself around and land on my back instead of my neck. Surprisingly didnt hurt too bad at all, probably because i was baked.
