And the correct answer was: Tanner Hall!

C’mon man, pros are just like you and me. We all have different vices. Some are more flamboyant about it then others.

No. If pro skiers smoked weed they’d likely be breaking the law, as smoking weed is still illegal in most states. This would make them criminals and they’d be in jail instead of skiing. Thus, we can deduce that because they aren’t in jail, they don’t smoke weed.

a certain Jiberish pro was literally smoking a spliff on the drop in a few years ago at one of the Level 1 rail jams.

i won’t put them on blast, but the fact it could be any of the Jiberish dudes probably says enough. i’m pretty sure piffing zaza is a team requirement.

I haven't heard of skiers talking about this, but pre-2018 cannabis was prohibited at the Olympics and WADA could randomly test athletes at pretty much any time and tests start to become routine about 12 months out from the Olympics. I imagine a lot of skiers didn't consume at all because of that (a snowboarder had his gold stripped for cannabis consumption at the Nagano Olympics). It's now not prohibited, but there's a very low blood level limit during competition (including FIS competition if I'm not mistaken), but unsure if that's enforced at all.

Word on the street is a lot of the comp guys don’t smoke and rarely drink. Quite a few of them are sober. I don’t want to name names because I’m not 100% sure.

The comp circuit has changed a lot over the years from the chug life days. If you want to be a contender to win nowadays, I would think you would have to be pretty dialed and not staying up till 5am partying before slope finals.

I also don’t think national teams would be super hyped if you were blazing and on the beers every night - it could fuck up your chance of retaining your spot if you’re underperforming.

this is mostly just guessing with a little bit of intel from people I know on the comp circuit.

After comp season is over I’m sure people would let loose and be suckin back fat bongers, smokin beers and clapping cheeks.

If you are truly dedicated to being the best at anything then you wouldn't use any drugs like weed or alc or nic. That being said a bunch of pros probably enjoy some beers or a J

I've heard on podcasts and in articles that like 90% of NBA players smoke weed.

Kevin Durant used to smoke a blunt in his car before every game.
