Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Heavenly ski resort (Lake Tahoe) has banned all smoking on chairlifts and other ski lifts. The ban follows complaints from customers....Source: http://www.venturacountystar.com/news/2008/feb/04/no-headline---na4vstatebriefs04st-fc/

Im glad someone is taking some action.

In the summer it is horrible seeing so many ciggarette butts under the lifts in such a beautiful environment.

I hope some European resorts follow this.

Christopher, here is a French group that urges skiers to respect for nature.
In this report they claim that they collected about 30,000 ciggarette butts under a 10-pylon-long lifts in one year.

Great news, I hate seeing people smoking and littering in the mountains. Pack out what you pack in, and no problems, but even then on a chairlift it can annoy other people on chairs behind you. Go smoke somewhere out of the way, and pack out the bud.

I'm ...

1. Surprised it wasn't banned already

and

2. Surprised there was even a need for a formal ban

I've never skied Heavenly, but I've never seen anyone smoking on the lifts in the US and Canada. I found it really quite surprising when I saw people doing it in Europe, and was particularly annoyed when I ended up being 'downstream' from these people.


Surely a strict policy on littering would amount to an effective stop on this. If a formal smoking ban is too controversial, how about a €500 fine for littering off the lift (and actually enforce it, which seems to be the key to nearly every policy of this sort). I always pick up litter when I see it on the slopes, although I wouldn't pick up cig butts.

An old article from 2004 how smokers damaged the bubble of a lift in Vail.
