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??

My guess is NH is waiting on the feds first. Then people can purchase with credit cards at state run stores and the state gets all the revenue like they do with liquor.

Maine is definitely the best setup so far and has extremely reasonable pricing even for recreational. Coastal Roots always has an ounce special for $100, a couple of Half flavors
at $60 and several $40 quarters. My wife says it's quite good and it looks / smells like it to me. I'm pretty much only about edibles these days.

Mass is double the price on recreational for flower and edibles compared to Maine. It's like $65 / eight with tax for recreational in Mass. They also have dumb rules like 5mg max per serving on edibles and 500 mg daily purchase limit per store. None of that in Maine.

I've talked about it in other threads here...but I'm a huge proponent of wine from the Finger Lakes in NY. Most of the standard bottlings are in the $15-25 range. Single vineyard stuff or reserve/limited production wines can be much higher.

I also love French wines (Bordeaux/Burgundy)...most of those are going to be $25+ minimum for a decent bottle these days.

We just finished our stash of Hermann Wiemer Dry Riesling and their Cab Franc was especially good! We plan to go back to Lake Senace next summer and hit more wineries.

We were in Las Vegas last month and tons of pot shops. Billboards advertising $40 quarter ounces. My brother in law has around 15 plants that are about to be harvested in upstate NY. Hope it's good shit.

I'm a certified beer pig but basically never drink during the day (not discipline, just don't want it until it's time to relax) and definitely never while skiing. Just doesn't fit the activity if you ax me. Weed? Every time...isn't that what the trees are for?

 

[Smellytele]

I actually would rather drink in the day time. Sunshine, outdoors and wide awake. Instead of loud bars or sitting on my couch drinking (and falling asleep).

I'm heading up to the Finger Lakes for a vacation in a little under two weeks...

While I abstain on snow, I've seen camelbacks full of booze and flasks passed around at the top of a 9 AM start private NASTAR race. But that's about par for the course.

Interesting, a near dead forum but 65 replies in 2 days on a drinking thread!

To be more accurate, a “not drinking” thread!!!

Skiing is a natural high so I usually do not partake in anything during the day. This is especially true if skiing is really good and/or technical. Après-ski is a never-miss must for me. Bar, parking lot, back at condo, or all three (assuming no major post après drive).

Exactly my thought.

Enjoy the skiing. Enjoy the drink (Or other stuff). But no need to combine the two.

Usually smoke half a joint around lunch then finish it later in the day. Max one drink if any while skiing because I feel like a danger to myself and others after more than that.

When I worked at SR, they always had a big tourist group of Brit's every March. Man, did those guys drink !
Pretty impressive F&B selections at 8-10am...

I'll have maybe 20 beers while skiing over the whole 130-150 day season. 2pbrs or a decent ipa and I feel a performance drop so I almost never do it. And I have a decent alc tolerance drinking 12-15 beers a week.

Good memories though when I was younger...drinking and night skiing...hope everyone can do that at least once in their lives.

I smoke 2 joints in the morning.

 

[Zand]

But do you smoke 2 joints at night?

 

[jimmywilson69]

I smoke 2 joints in the afternoon

 

[Smellytele]

I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints
And then I smoke two more

I rarely drink beer during a ski day, although I have had one or two a few times at lunch on trips out west. Alcohol doesn't make me a better skier, nor does it make the day more enjoyable. Now apres ski, there's nothing better than that first sip of a good ipa or really almost any beer.

I realized drinking and skiing didn't work for me many moons ago while at Killington. Lousy weather day so we headed into the old summit restaurant around 1 or 2 for some food and as we walked into the bar area, two seats opened up at the bar right in front of the TV just as the Celtics game was starting. We ended up doing shots of tequila for awhile while watching the game. At the end, we skied down late in the afternoon and honestly, my legs were not connected to my brain as i had no idea what I was doing and barely made it down safely. Realized then and there that drinking and skiing didn't do it for me.

Now on the other hand, I always ski with some type of cannibis and find that it improves my flow and makes the great day even more enjoyable. It can make easy cruisers and boring terrain so much more interesting. I will admit there have also been a few times when the paranoia effect has kicked in when I realize I probably shouldn't be where I am on the mountain, most recently standing on the edge of Big Rock Tongue at Big Sky this past winter LOL.

Not sure if the bar carries NA beer...would be good. Zero Gravity rescue club is great..can't tell its NA.

Was there enough snow come in on the skiers leftt side or did you go in from the Right. I know the feeling and I did it straight.

It was early Feb last year, not BS's best snowfall season, but enough to find plenty of terrain, including off the tram. Took me three tries to find the chute I wanted to ski on Big Rock Tongue as both times prior didn't go low enough under the chair line to get to the lip. Once I got to the spot, traversed left across and skied the left side of the chute.

Stood on the lip getting blasted by the wind and and felt very exposed and that was when I thought I had made a mistake attempting this chute. (BTW, I was also solo LOL) as no-one wanted to ski it. I literally stood there for five minutes trying to get my shit together as I knew there was no way but down. Surveyed the massive bumps straight below me and couldn't find that first 2-4 turn line that's always critical when jumping in, so actually side slipped down about 15 feet until I saw a line that would work. Definitely no-fall zone. Once in it was great and certainly one of the highlights of my trip. Just the tram runs alone at BS are incredible!

I've skied with Jimk 3 or 4 times over the years and it seems to me he usually carries a flask with schnapps, good schnapps, that he shares at lunchtime. I've had a shot or 2 of his stash served in plastic condiment cups. lol

I found a photo of drinking schnapps from condiment cups!! It's from about 6 years ago after a great day at Snowbird. You're not in it, but you might recognize a few of the faces. Let me know if you come to Utah this winter and want to ski Snowbird or Solitude.



Prost!
