Smoking ban at Vail & BC?

Interesting article:

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?

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.

You guys are crazy. 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.

You may be right. I *hate* scented candles.

Real tobacco? Not so bad. That weird mix of horse****, straw, and
chemical flavorings that they put into cigarettes is another thing
altogether.

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?

Damn ugly, you are right again. I forgot, I love the smell of burnt
two stroke oil.

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.

smelly skidoos, noisy and stinky. Do they really need so many of them in the
resorts?

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.

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

Smelly ants, noisy and stinky. Do we really need any at any resort?
