Seems more like you have a problem. Ski resorts have enough trouble staying profitable, if you took away bar profits most of them will close and you will have no where to ski. Take the stick out of your ass.

Smoking week in a gondola is disrespectful towards others-period. In addition, it violates the smoking policy of every ski area in the entire country and you should lose your pass for that day. If you have to smoke in the gondola, not only do you have a drug problem, you are very selfish.
Being sober while driving and skiing is not a problem.
Is it a problem if the ski results have to close because they no longer have the money the bar generated?

he reminds of someone who used to post in a bike forum I frequented She couldn't understand how people could use Marijuana while mountain biking and how it was ruining the sport, etc. on and on.
and I was like.....uh it's literally the reason the sport was invented. a group of guys rode to the top of Mt Tam to smoke weed and race down.
sometimes marijuana makes it easier to enter the flow state.
it's as simple as that.
nice looking buds Thatguy.
So, you're saying skiing was invented so people could smoke dope and ski stoned?
No, skiing was invented so that people living up in the mountains could get down to the valley quickly. But back then everyone drank alcohol as water often contained parasites which the alcohol killed so people have been drinking and skiing since the beginning of skiing.

I’ll do the occasional beer, like after getting to the top of Hillman’s Highway or Left Gully on Mount Washington, sit and chill for a bit. I max out at 1 beer while skiing, I like to be on my A-game. After skiing I’ll have one or two apres.

no that's why snowboarding was invented
Sweet jesus that looks amazing! Well done!
Then Why the fuck can I sit in the lodge at the top of a mountain, order a beer or two and ski down? Maybe you should find a ski resort that doesn't sell booze? In all my travels I've found one...Beaver mtn Utah.
I agree about what you said about smoking dope on the gondola though thats just rude. The woods are the proper place for that.
I sometimes miss the social / ritual aspect of safety meetings, but since legalization in Mass and Maine, I've 100% transitioned to edibles.
Hope Granite doesn't get offended by me eating a piece of chocolate on the Gondola.

WRONG-WRONG-WRONG. The first skiers were hunters. They used skis for their nomadic/hunter/gatherer life style. Dinking had nothing to do with the inventors of skiing.
Do you eat edibles everyday? Do you eat edibles every night to sleep?
I never said it does. However, for those that take a couple of tokes on the morning drive to the ski area, a few more during the day? A drink or two or more while skiing? A few more tokes and some more drinks for après ski? They are shit faced-impaired-drunk/druggie types. Then they get up the next day and do it all over again.
Let's not forget the apres frat bro crowd though. You seem biased.
