Something really amazing

Saterday started as a normal preseason day.. crew of over 30 kids , 2 lifts, a couple haggard scraped off trails. me and curtis spun through the 3 ft jibs twice then decided to go in and hope theyd actually setup something for sunday. i didnt have any edges so it was pretty lame lapping ice , so we headed down to my car in front and pulled out an eigth of shrooms that had been saved for a special occsion. Someone working tickets could apprently see into the car from above while we were dividing them , came down and knocked on the window and told us to eat them somewhere else.

By 10:45 we started walking up a steep trail and ended up over at south ridge . We both still just felt weird and kept walking towards this new staircase sitting far away in the tall grass , took a break and chilled on it for a while waching the sky. An hour passed and we had had made it back around to the lodge. As soon as we entered barker we were both fully tripping, the lodge was moving as fast and intense as a city and its only us in the middle, and alll of a sudden the objective hits us and theres no option but to go skiing, none. too many kids trying to talk to us everywhere, everyone is looking at us, who are all these people? no choice but to ignore them, probably just seemed like we were being assholes, but its different world at this point and conversation was not about to take place. we got our boots on as fast as possible.

We never once considered skiing on shrooms, except that it would be a bad idea but we had to now. Coity, in the bright orange suit, our faces hidden, putting my goggles on was undescribable, both of us walking through deep sand and hay with our skis on as we approached the lift, looking up to see a giant black chair streching over up over the peak. i thought riding the lift was the most incredible thing id ever done.. until we pushed off onto the snow at the top that cannot be desribed, the trees and hut caked with frozen white, everything glowing from the afternoon sun. The trip reached its peak as we bombed through the blinding snowguns and bumps feeling on top of everything, feet moving as 1 board, the trail moving by like Imax.. we both agreed that a normally shitty dy of skiing had turned out to be something amazing.

spinning down into a trail of white , ice and bumps , gapers blurring by , nothing mattering but style letting your mind go. I felt strongly tanner must of had the same experience with probably lsd when he changed his life towards backcountry, I understood it so completely at the time in a way not possible before, I could session the nano jibs fine at that point,but i could not see why, when I had a mountain

Another kid in an orange suit confused me and we were seperated in the unknown confusion of the trip for a while. Nothing making sense at all, no idea how I knew how to ski,, nothing telling why I was skiing. Alone now, my only objective was to rip the most natural terrain with the most style. For a while i explorered down closed strails, popping and spinning over small streams and through roots and leaves, forgetting about skiing, my mind had reached a depth of thought that I had never come close to.

i felt more clear and safe skiing in a trip then skiing real blunted.. but I wouldnt hit full size park features either it wouldnti be a good idea. If you ever have the chance to have this experience it will be something you will never forget, it has nothing to do with drugs and being fucked up. i imagine it would be far more incredible on a mountain with actual trails and real snow

i saw skiing completely differently that day and I'll never completely forget it. the sight of 50 kids in the brighest outerwear on wooden boards centered around a tiny piece of metal seemed like the most ridiculous thing possible

I questioned jibbing for the first time, curtis questioned his orange suit. If you havent taken shrooms before this story wont mean much, but I feel like i can handle anything now after that, nothing else could be more ill. I dont think i could do this for a long time but I do know that one day I will eat a full eigth for my final time and ski the deepest, most remote pow in the heart of the mountains and for that 5 hours finally understand eveirything

 
this was at sunday river. it was the most incredible experiance of my life. none of you have any idea how pumped to ski we were. ive never been so excited and stylish going over a sheet of ice with a bunch of moguls. i couldnt feel my body so i could put all the little shin pain and foot pains beside and finally shred. i didnt understand skiing at all it was like i was just letting my skis take me and by instinkt i would ski althoght it seemed as if i couldnt at the time
 
thats hilarious. i dont think i would ever do it to skiing, not knowing how id react or whatever, but it sounds like you guys had a hell of a time. bravo
 
for some reason i can see you guys thinkin your all stylish, but bailin everywhere and freakin out.

ive never tripped so i have no idea though.
 
yah i've always wanted to trip a bit while skiing down some slopes butmy buddies have been talking me out of it till i read this thread pretty much what i thought it wuold be like i gota do this sometime this yr
 
for some reason i have no desire for hallucinogens at all. lsd, boomers, dmt, salvia...none of it appeals at all to me. i really honestly think its stupid. my own opinion. i just dont see a point. its like "wow, theres this crazy world you can live in for a few minutes or hours. then its gone". you didnt find deeper meaning. you just ate shit and saw shit moving, colors, and (possibly) shit that wasnt there like elves or whatnot and thought alot about shit you normally dont. i just dont see a point, as i said. i dont think they are dangerous or anything. this is my world, my life. iill take some flaming for this. i dont care. i think they are for the weak who have trouble accepting and being happy in the state they are now. why do you need to change, the world offers so much here. there isnt deeper meanings to shit. you just percieve there to be after "expanding your mind". expanding you mind? what a crock of shit. go read a fucking book. thats mind expanding. most of my best friends have done their fair share of hallucinogens, so there isnt hate for doing them and if you enjoy them or whatnot. i mean...its cool with me if you do them and like them. i just dont and think the concept/goals are stupid.
 
proove that i dont know what im talking about. you cant. its my viewpoint. dont challenge it. as i said, im not against you doing them. have fun with them. ive been described the life changing stories more than enough times. often like 1 on 1 with my best friend, with him telling me the amazement of it all with the same seriousness you have now. its a drug. get over it.
 
thats hilarious dude. Beautiful writing and detail in your story dude. never done shrooms but I can understand that you must of had an epic experience.
 
ive never shroomed, maybe ill try it now but when im real high off the tree i always think of the coolest ideas and i always think about weird stuff but it all makes sense. its so mind refreshing.
 
im glad for you. it seemed like a great experience. personaly, i haven't done much as far as drugs go, but for some reason, i feel like i can relate. l guess i expand my mind in different ways. by thinking, and reading deep stuff, by just observing, and by really blocking out all of the shit in everyday life, and seeing everything, and focusing on it all intensely all at once. it is my personal belief that you can control your mind to do the same things that it does when you are on drugs. but it takes loads of practice, and concentration. if you think im lying, read "siddhartha" by hermann hesse. then try some of the things in it. if you learn to control your mind, it is truly a wonderful thing.
 
With all the hella bright colors and shit eveyone's sporting lately. must have been insane. haha fuck yah. sounds way sick. nice writing as well.
 
yay!!! i agree. you guys just take for granted what you have now so you need to take drugs to get somethign out of life. life is pretty bitchin as it is.
 
i think the coolest trip ever would be to put a fog machine and tons of disco lights in the international space station and do exstacy or codeine

have like an insane space rave omg and cool story east ar5
 
this is the sequel to your argument-

Ive never been skiing in my life. It never appealled to me at all. I really honestly think its stupid. My own opinion. I just dont see a point. Its like theres a crazy world you can live in for a few hours. Then its gone. Nobody who skis finds deeper meaning. You just put on shitty skis and went down the mountain. I just dont see the point. This is my world, my life...I think skiers are weak and have trouble acceptin and being happy in the state they are now. Why do you need to ski? What a crock of shit. go read a fucking book. Thats mind expanding...I think the concept and goals of skiing are stupid.

skogen, when your an old man and you realize your life has passed you by, your gonna think that you didnt see everything you wanted to see and that theres much more out there than you know but it will be to late. If your never sat on the window seat of a plane, how can you talk shit about it?
 
3 things:

1. you contradict yourself by saying "there aren't deeper meanings to shit," and that people "thought about shit they normally don't." Doesn't delving deeper into things that you don't usually take the time to think about or observe usually produce a new meaning or explanation to that part of the world? I've had revelations on shrooms thatt I've written down, taken up 5 pages of a notebook, and then shared with my dad later that night. Turns out he has come up with almost the exact same philosophies as I did, just over a longer period of time called his life. I'm not arguing that you need drugs to do this, just sometimes they trigger thoughts, just as you said, that lead to a rapid expansion of the idea, called a revelation; and it's obvious that they do not expand your mind itself, the term is bogus to begin with, even in regards to reading... your mind is what it is, and it's just your job to perceive, learn, and develop beliefs according to your own initiative.

2. it's quite a generalization to say that only insecure people take hallucinogens. What about the people who are the opposite? What if they have accepted life and the world as it is, and are completely happy and equally in awe of the world? Does that negate their desire to experience something that you never could otherwise? Mushrooms are part of the world, psilocybin is a chemical that is part of the world, eating it is a real action, thoughts are produced through chemical and electrical reactions in the brain, just because these reactions are changed, it doesn't make the experience fake. The illusions are certainly not real, but the experience is as real as getting joy out of eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Is somebody weak because they do something they like to do? I sure don't think so

3. so as to not keep everything negative, i like your reference to books. books are the shit. so are shrooms. compromises are nice. if you'd like to read a couple good books, these are my two all-time favorites: Ishmael by Daniel Quinn and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig. I respect your abstinence from drugs, maybe these books will provide you with some alternate insight, as I have acquired much of what I believe from these two novels, much more than I have from taking drugs. All I am asking you to do is please do not assume that just because people decide to do something like shroom that they are sheltered from other sources of wisdom.

Oh and I guess a fourth thing... I really enjoyed the original story, sounds like it was a blast man.
 
Why do kids these days always feel the need to do drugs? i can honestly say I have been drug and alcohol free my whole life, and I have still had a great life. I have friends, I get really good grades in school, I'm really healthy, and I find my love in skiing. And let me tell you, it feels amazing to be able to say I have never been under the influence. I encourage you to stop taking drugs and drinking and be clean. Trust me, you will think it is the greatest desicion of your life later on. 
 
sarcsm at its highest?

And i think shrooms allow you to expand and explore into parts of your mind you would not otherwise be able to reach. I respect to no drugs thing but you've never really tried it, so you don't know what its like. If you're a real smart, thoughtful kid sober, then shrooms will be amazing.
 
I didn't need shrooms to think that 50 kids hiking those rails in bright clothing was the most ridiculous thing ever... hence our crew tearing up the entire mountain all day, maybe hit those rails 5 times?

Not hating just saying I'm over hiking small rails. As for the skiing on shrooms, sounds like fun, lots of fun. I know a few kids who've skied on acid and shit and they love it. no idea how the fuck they handle it, but whatever works for them.
 
Totally agree.

I'm not hatin' either. I'm stoked that, whatever means, you can see the totality of skiing and relate yourself to it in a more authentic way.

I really should stop reading so much Heidegger, he's corrupting my idle-talk.

AHHHHHHH!!!
 
exactly... no disrespect to anyone who skis, if hitting rails all day is what you wanna do, fuck ya then. as long as you're out having a blast I got mad love.
 
proof that you don't know what youre talking about = the fact that youve never tried a hallucinagen

People who don't know better think that those drugs just make you see crazy shit and hallucinate. Unless you try it you will never come close to understanding. It is a state of awareness (although sometimes intense confusion, this is when hallucinations usually appear). This isn't a state that you can reach through meditation or yoga or otherwise "naturally" (shrooms are natural and have been eaten by humans for thousands of years). You have to have that temporarily altered brain chemistry to experience this perspective of life. Honestly its something everyone should try at least once before you die.
 
It doesn't take an idiot to now shrooms damage your brain. I like my brain and want it to be healthy. Therefor, i don't take shrooms. 

And it is kind of ironic how the people on shrooms make themselves look like idiots. So you are the one really making an ass of yourself.
