I can't even begin to tell you the shitstorm this has caused here at CB....

The problem isnt crested butte, its part of a multi-resort sweep that is being funded federally. of course they arent having as much of a problem as they are here but thats because CB has been so lax with their shack/stoner worries since day 1. CBMR's official position on the huts is to just leave them standing, because they know and are aware that for every one they blow up, we'll just build four more, better hidden.

Like mjpowhound said, they're more after the ones that are RIGHT off the runs. Ones like the double decker, which yeah, its a sweet shack, but it's right off a blue run and I cant tell you how many times ive been rolled up on by little kids in that one..."Oh hey, guys come look, I found a treehouse!!!" Or the penalty box....or the window.....Yeah, those are too close for comfort. It sucks, I've had three close friends get busted by that and heard of several more who have too.

Its not all bad though, the more remote the shack is, the less chance you have to get roused. Ones located in the extremes or in advanced areas are still safe to go to, as the "feds" are usually no better than blue skiers. So the ones that take lots of maneuvering and navigation to find like the bakery and the forest caves are still golden!

as for Mr Spiegel's comments I would say....I tend to ski better when I am high. I focus more, Im more aware of the consequences than when Im not. As a result I usually will slow down a little bit and enjoy the mountain more. I would also say that at any given time (at least at cb) probably 90% of the "Local" riders there that day are high. Skiing and smoking weed just go hand in hand too well for people to make a point of it now.
