Marijuana and snowboarding.
Snowboarding is allowed at A-Basin, Marijuana is not.

Arapahoe Basin, CO is going to open this weekend or next weekโ€ฆ  we hopeโ€ฆ  They just got 12โ€ณ of snow in the past three days and they are making snow like crazy.

We just stumbled on their Marijuana Policy and we thought weโ€™d share it with you.  Itโ€™s good to know that Al keeps up with Jon Stewart and the Daily Show!

โ€œFor good or bad, Colorado is notorious for the passing of Amendment 64 legalizing limited marijuana usage. I recently saw John Stewart and Bill Oโ€™Reilly making fun of Coloradans on The Daily Show. A very important piece of the new law clearly states that marijuana usage in public is still illegal.  A-Basin is a public place and you cannot smoke marijuana here.

Already I have kicked several people out of here and taken their ski passes for smoking in public. Those passes will be gone for a very long time. We will not hesitate to call the cops on this issue.

Marijuana smokers, please use your heads on this.  You cannot smoke marijuana in public while at A-Basin.โ€ โ€“ Alan Henceroth, COO of Arapahoe Basin ski area

This what the sky looks like in Colorado since prop 64 passed.

Weโ€™re guessing that skiers and riders most likely donโ€™t take this policy too seriously.  A-Basin is a party place, maybe the most famous party ski resort in North America.

After 15 years of ski bumming in North America and beyond weโ€™ve discovered that marijuana use and skiing and riding are very intertwined.  Youโ€™d be shocked to learn of some of the enormous pro skiers and riders that use marijuana daily or more often.  Or maybe you wouldnโ€™t beโ€ฆ
