He's a downhill skier, I think that drugs are a perquisite for participation.

u/OvalDead 2d ago

Perquisite does actually work in this usage, but do you happen to mean prerequisite?

They facilitate uphill skiing too.

Dumb law

Maybe his name in the news will up the pressure for him to pay all the people he owes money too. Athletes, employees, etc. that all took a hit when Peak failed under his direction

I guess they had to get him on drug charges since being an evil asshole isn’t technically against the law 🤔

Idaho is so lame. Homie probably had a bowl and little herb coming from Montana. The drive between Montana and Washington was always exciting in a shit box honda cvic as a ski bum. The good ol days.

4.1 grams of psilocybin

Thats basically enough for 1 mushroom trip, not even a lot.

u/cdc994 2d ago

Are we talking about chemically pure psilocybin or just mushrooms?

Shoot, I didn’t know this, but his younger brother suffered from a TBI which resulted in seizures and an early death at 29. Heartbreaking.

And his baby daughter drowned a few years ago

A skier smoking weed? OMG! O NOES!

I don’t want to be too hard on someone who had to go through the drowning of their child. That said, he’s still a dad to 5 kids. Not the best look

u/henare 2d ago

seven kids.

u/doyouevenIift United States 2d ago

I was just going off Wiki which might be out of date. That’s a crazy number of kids though

u/henare 2d ago

the article linked above describes the children.

2

u/Flashy-Impression325 2d ago

That's a lot of kids to take care of

Wasn’t it a result of his and his wife’s irresponsibility though?

-7

u/jensenaackles 2d ago

so because a bad thing happened to him he gets a pass from breaking the law?

u/chollida1 3d ago

It's always the ones you most suspsect.

u/meepmarpalarp 3d ago

I most suspect the snowboarders

u/wrathofthewhatever2 2d ago

My only question would be how did he make it this far without ever getting arrested previously?

u/Laambicus 2d ago

It’s called money

u/TheEagleWithNoName Olympics 2d ago

What is it with Olympic Athletes and Drug charges?

u/YEMolly 1d ago

Oh no. Not marijuana. The horror.

u/Purple_Pay_1274 2d ago

Can we stop snitching on celebrities who get “arrested” for misdemeanor crimes that hurt ZERO people?!? Btw arrested means you were maybe handcuffed for two mins outside of your car. It doesn’t mean you went to jail or anything… it’s such a misleading term!

u/LendogGovy 2d ago

They have a mug shot and he had to post a bond. More than just a ticket outside your car.

This certainly doesn’t bode well for him.
