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 :-)

People smoking weed on Colorado slopes get ski passes revoked

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
It seems there's some confusion about Colorado's new law legalising personal marijuana use. Apparently, just 2 weeks into the season, several visitors to Arapahoe Basin Ski Area have had their ski passes revoked because of public use of marijuana. In fact, the new law states that marijuana usage in public is still illegal....See: http://gazette.com/passes-revoked-at-arapahoe-basin-over-marijuana/article/1508366

Would have thought the sensible thing would be to warn visitors found smoking rather than revoke passes. A repeat offender sure. Can't say I've been away of anyone smoking joints on the slopes in Europe. But maybe I am naive!

I believe the old slow gondola from Grindelwald Grund up to the Männlichen above Wengen which takes about 30 mins is referred to by certain people as the "2 spliff lift".... Laughing

eddiethebus, admittedly I'm more in the French than British ex-pat community in the alpes, but I'm often the only person in a room not smoking weed... Friend lost his licence into the French administration for 6 months after a random blood test showed up his smoking from the night before; just not worth the hassle IMHO.

Reminds me of my early seasons in Meribel, when a certain ski school was renowned for sending kids up in the old Saulire bubbles but the instructors getting one to themselves which they would promptly hotbox. The fact that everybody in resort was aware didn't seem to bother them Laughing

I would be careful about that - I avoid hanging out in a room full of spliffers if I'm going to be driving myself - too much second-hand smoke and you could easily find it showing up in your own blood test - and you could easily get hauled over for it as your clothes would have a give-away smell.

Surely the US thing is that they don't like people "under the influence" on the slopes? I've not been there but have heard that they are down on too much alcohol too, which is perfectly legal as well but impairs judgement and can result in injury to others. I'm very unhappy when I see people drinking heavily on the slopes - young students handing round spirits on lifts or middle-aged claret drinkers veering wildly after a late lunch. Get away from my precious knee ligaments!!!
