A beer or drink at Lunch, a warming shot on the Lift, a sip in the Woods. Do you?? Don't you?? How far have you seen a person drink and Ski or ride??

Nothing wrong with a few beers and skiing. Now if you were getting wasted and skiing that's a different story.

I agree. But as long as you’re still skiing safely and not putting others in danger by being reckless.

At Hunter a kid pulled out a whole quart of Jack Daniel's on the chair...
Wonder if he ever made it home...

Thx, it seems like a festive crew.

Probably can’t provide much with ski gear expertise, will likely ask a lot of questions. Maybe I can contribute to the humor here.

I’m getting set up with boots at gmol with bill after thanksgiving, so maybe I can document the fitting experience and testing out whatever he recommends for me.

I have never skied under the influence of anything except adrenaline. The parking lot often smells like I imagine a Greatfull Dead show must have, coming and leaving. No idea how much people drink. I guess it works for some people. Afterwards sure, I understand that.

About 3x I have had a beer at a skiing lunch break when I was with a group of friends who ordered beers. Each time when I got back out on the snow I found my legs felt considerably worse skiing than they had in the AM or in the PM when I had not had a beer. Not about being intoxicated - about impact on leg muscle performance in an athletic activity.

Based on this, I have not had even one beer in the middle of a ski day for at least a decade.

I will often have a beer or glass of wine around 930-10 pm on a multi day ski trip as I find this helpful to get to sleep earlier than I normally do, and therefore be more rested if I want to hit the slopes close to the time lifts open in the AM.
