I'm high about half (maybe 75%) of the time that I'm skiing. It for sure doesn't make me ski better, just a little slower. However, I'm more likely to take the time to really take my surroundings in when I'm high. I appreciate the beauty of where I am and the people I'm with a lot (I do when I'm sober too, just not quite as much). Plus it makes skiing and listening to music even more fun. A couple drinks though (not wasted or drunk, just tipsy) and I KNOW I ski better. I have less inhibitions and tend to just ski everything better overall, no matter what I'm doing. Skiing wasted is irresponsible if you're going to be out of control, but I like booze cruising on skis a whole lot.
