Before You Choose: What Are Your Goals?

First things first: don’t ski or snowboard impaired. Plan your cannabis use responsibly, and save the good stuff for when you’re safely off the mountain. With that said, we’ve got you covered for two very different moods: the kind of clear-headed buzz that makes a lodge afternoon feel easy and social, and the kind of deep, melting relaxation that earns its place after a long day on the slopes.

Performance/Focus

For those who want to spend their days socializing, chatting by the fire at the lodge, or cheering on their more outdoorsy friends, a light, clear-headed buzz is the best goal. Choose strains that are going to allow you stay present, focused, and alert while making socializing an enjoyable breeze.

Recovery/Relaxation

Those who plan to spend their days active on the mountain may want a more relaxing strain that will help them unwind back in the lodge at night. Pair your cannabis selection with a warm bath, a hot cup of tea, and some chill tunes to ease away the aches and reset your mind.

Timing & Dosing Tips for a Winter Weekend

To make sure you have the best experience with your cannabis products, keep these key tips in mind. 

Don’t Stack Formats

Pick an approach and stick to it. Many formats take a while to kick in, and stacking more than one can leave you feeling much higher than you intended. Sticking to one allows you to stay present and enjoy your trip!

Start Low 

Depending on the format you use, you may feel effects within minutes (vapes and flower) or not for an hour or more (edibles). The best approach is to start with a low dose and make sure your onset will hit at a time that’s convenient and safe.
