Someone plan a trip !!!!!!!! Howabout we plan a trip to a real mountain......not Hunter, not Mt. Fucking Snow, not Killington or any other of those tourist attractions that eat wood. Say someplace like Stratton, or Okemo, Sunday River. These places are also very sizeable, but at least they are filled with people that know what the hell they are doing on the mountain. Also they are awesome for skiiers as well as snowboarders. For smaller places Attitash or Waterville Valley are awesome for skiiers and snowboarders alike.There are bus trips that leave early in the morning, drive you up there, drive you back for about $35 a head as long as you have enough people...........sounds like something someone should look into.

That is one insane guy..I'm all about a ski trip! My vote is for Stratton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pleasuredome Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 I'd have to weigh in on the snowboard side... but it's the result of learning to board in the Swiss Alps from a local dude with green and red hair who introduced me to the joys of communing with the mountain through the board. By the end of a week I was able to taste the first fruits of the learning-- it does take a little while to get started-- but then again, they had just legalized pot in Switzerland, so the fresh White Widow may have had some impact on the learning curve. The payoff on my second trip to Gstaad was a perfect New Years' Day atop a glacier looking more like the top of the world. Cruising off-piste into fresh powder, falling, laughing through the ice, the board and the air and the mountain making motion. Now I'm hooked. I doubt I'll ski again...

pleasuredome Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 To be exact:4. Legal Marijuana Use in Switzerland: Cabinet Gives Okay, Next Step is Parliamentary Approval On October 2nd, 2000, the Swiss cabinet approved changes in that country's drug laws that would legalize the consumption of cannabis products. The cabinet declined to address whether growing and sales would be made legal. The Swiss executive branch will now write the revisions and submit them to parliament for approval. The measure is expected to pass. Of the four political parties that make up the governing coalition, only the far-right Swiss People's Party opposes the measure. The rest of the coalition, from the Social Democrats on the left to the centrist Liberals and the Christian People's Party on the right, support legalization of cannabis, at least in principle. In March, both houses of parliament approved resolutions calling for legalization of cannabis. Manuel Sager, director of communications for the Swiss embassy in Washington, told DRCNet that legalization of marijuana consumption "seems to have fairly wide acceptance." But the head shops didn't wait for approval... in December 2000 they were selling beautiful manicured homegrown for $5-$10 a gram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
