GrapeHunteryou must not know very many sports

Out of all the sports I feel like skiing has the most smoking and drinking being flaunted. Not always a bad thing to have a drink or the occasional blunt, but how do you find a balance?

Also, the sport is very taxing physically and career-ending accidents happen all the time. A skiing accident can affect life outside of skiing, sometimes for life. How do you keep your head straight after blowing yourself up and being laid up in the hospital?

...Advice to young up and comers?

signtimeSkateboard instead

iH8powThere’s two types of people who live in the mountains (not counting J1’s, cuz America).

1. Active lifestyle, healthy, driven people, they’ll be too focused on making it and raising a family to be down bad

2. People running away from their troubles/responsibilities, start out innocent enough as “ski bums” just “livin the dream”, ends up evolving into serious substance abuse, alcoholism.

Granby_killdozerWhere do you see smoking and drinking being flaunted. Some hood crew video from 10 years ago? Quit talking out of your ass. Skiing has sold out and gone corporate.

sindreplasseni mean cl is sponsored by a rolling accessory company, level 1 have been promoting beers for as long i can remember and most street videos from the past 5 years has people smoking weed as b roll, its definitely a thing lol. with that said, i feel like most people are pretty chill about it nowadays and its not like you have to smoke or drink to be a part of the "culture" and its not like everyone does it

Granby_killdozerOh god I don’t care dude, I made this comment weeks ago. I don’t even know who cl is.

oldmanskiExercise and eating decent go a long way. Skating, biking, hiking will keep the mind and body busy for the summer along with staying in shape. Just stay active, be good to others and things will most likely work out.

NSislame907I don't like your attitude

NSislame907I see it on every slope where alcohol is available, I misspoke when I said it's flaunted- I was referring to how often you see alcohol being used by both skiers & snowboarders. I think part of it is that to a lot of people, skiing and snowboarding is an occasional thing. They go out with friends and it's more or less a social activity, kind of like a party in a way- so naturally some drinking and smoking comes along with that.

You ever see a SLVSH Cup final? Everybody drinks champagne at the end of the tournament, drinking is still very much promoted amongst the community. I was just watching a SLVSH game the other day where they had a rule that you had to shotgun a beer after a K-Fed... just saying, you don't see professional athletes in other sports doing things like this.

Also, I disagree that skiing has gone corporate. All of the most relevant skiers are normal dudes doing what they love and from what I see in videos, they keep it real the majority of the time. Skiers need to make money too, I don't blame anyone for capitalizing on an opportunity to get paid (as long as no one suffers from it).

Granby_killdozerI don't care lol

NSislame907Okay then haha
