Smoking ban at Vail & BC?
Interesting article:
http://www.summitdaily.com/article/2...NEWS/101090027 Now, I quit smoking a year ago, but this is getting a bit on the silly side. I think I am more turned off by the exhaust from the snowmobiles running up and down the slopes than I am from the very occasional time I smell ciggy smoke. Do some of these people just search out stuff to get upset about? Sam "Lets ban all things that annoy" Seiber |

Do some of these people just search out stuff to get upset about? Huh. I thought it was already verboten to smoke in the liftlines and on the lift most places. It seems to make sense to me to curtail smoking any place where people are jammed together and they don't have a chance to get away from the smoke - if you want to smoke, go over *there* away from everybody else. Not that I'm particularly adamant about it. And I agree that the smelly snowmobiles are more annoying than the smoking. |

Along those same lines, a friend of mine once said that "having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a pool". I suppose it applies to lift lines too. -- To reply by email remove "_nospam" |

The sweet smell of two stroke oil after being burned in a furious engine at high altitude while being driven by a madman (preferably myself) smells better than an apple pie scented candle. On the other hand, second hand cig smoke smells like death to me nowadays. No opinion on the ban. Its already rare to see someone smoking in a liftline. nate |

You may be right. I *hate* scented candles. On the other hand, second hand cig smoke smells like death to me nowadays. Real tobacco? Not so bad. That weird mix of horse****, straw, and chemical flavorings that they put into cigarettes is another thing altogether. No opinion on the ban. Its already rare to see someone smoking in a liftline. Right. They're all hanging around in the terrain park. Which brings up the following question: Last year Black Mt. in Maine banned *all* smoking *anywhere* at the resort - parking lot, bar, lodge, slopes, you name it. Did they do this to drive away the punk snowboarder kids, or is it truly some kind of health thing? //Walt |

Damn ugly, you are right again. I forgot, I love the smell of burnt two stroke oil. No opinion on the ban. Its already rare to see someone smoking in a liftline. Well, back when I did smoke, it was on the lift. I tried to keep it to the times I was on the seat all by myself. Another great reason to ski Loveland is if there is someone smoking on a nearby chair, the wind will blow away the smoke before you can even smell it. It is rare when I smell it, but I do see smoking on the chair fairly often. Remember, it is ALWAYS windy at Loveland. Sam "Have I mentioned my Volkls lately?" Seiber |

You may be right. I *hate* scented candles. Me too.They all smell like lollies. YUCK! If they could invent candles (or anything) that smelt like fresh lemons, I'd be interested. But they all smell like frosted cakes or something. -- ant |

I hate to tell you this, but the people on the chair behind knew you were smoking, and hated you quite a lot. -- ant |
