Do you ski.....

[Brettski]

Drunk?

 

[dmc]

I have.. But that was back in the day when we used to get crazy night skiing at Camelback and Big Boulder..

 

[RISkier]

Occassionally, though rarely, a beer or glass of wine with lunch. So far this year not even that.

 

[Greg]

I don't, but I have once or twice. Now it's a beer or two max at lunch and not always.

 

[roark]

I enjoy a beverage or two most days.... softens the legs up a bit. Certainly not drunk though.

 

[Greg]

I suspect "Other forms a recreational substances" will be the most popular poll option...

 

[snoseek]

Oh $hit I was just kidding. I won't ski drunk ever but I will drink beer frequently (on the lift or in the woods) . I used to smoke a lot, but that really makes me lazy personally so not as much anymore. If the skiing is real good I'm straight as an arrow.

That's pretty much how I feel. Maybe three beers, not enough to mess with my head. It can loosen muscles and help me ski better.

I think I've had a total of four beers all winter while skiing this year. I have skied after having a couple to many in the past, but it's been a LONG time since then.

I'd guess that alcohol or other substance, if detected in an person involved in a crash that results in an injury to someone else, would open the door to both criminal and civil actions.

i typically try to kill a 6 pack on the ride to the mtn. More if its a long ride, like 3 hours or so. that gives me a good base to work with. Immediately upon arriving, i do 2 shots of Jaeger and pull 3 tubes. I'll boot up and then fill my flask with jaeger.

First ride up is 1/2 a joint and two more swigs of jaeger. By now, i'm usually pretty numb and starting to get blurry vision. I like to stay on the more crowded slopes so if i have an accident, someone is there to break my fall.

After 4 or 5 runs, i head in to the bar and have a quick bite and usually 3 or 4 pints. Back to the car to pull 4 more tubes and then off to the park.

At this point i'm usually ready to puke but also completely numb so ensuing yardsales dont hurt much. I tend to swear and sweat profusely at this point, so much so that i notice no one will get on the lift with me. The fact that i'm swinging my poles furiously at the pink elephant in front of me doesnt go over too well with my fellow skiers and riders either. But hey, i paid for my ticket right? I can do whatever i want.

Christ, who only smokes 1/2 of the joint.

I used to smell them during 13-14 minutes ride to the top of Wawa before the HSQ on weekday nights.

 

[drjeff]

I need the poll option of "wait for the hottub apres ski"

That actually annoys me how people smoke grass on lifts with kids around. Plenty of good spots in the woods out of the way.

I'm the opposite. I don't do that stuff anymore but appreciate the whiff to remind me of old times.

I bet if you skied ecstasy at SR really slow you could smell it sometimes....

Thanks, Dr Buzzkill.
You're probably right, though.

 

[loafer89]

I don't drink and thus avoid any potential trouble it may bring.

 

[wa-loaf]

Haven't we had this conversation?

But, I'll have a beer at lunch. If I stop long enough for that kind of thing. But never ski drunk.
