All this discussion of high altitude death has me thinking that the crew of Maggots has been pretty high...
For me:
On Skis 11,450 ft (Vail)
On Foot 17,769 ft (Thorung La pass - Annapurna Circuit, Nepal)

i thought this is going to be about pot :nonono2:
I guess the top of Highland Bowl at ~12,400 ft.
heh, heh. I've been pretty high before
What's the highest peak elevation at a CO resort?
....This one time, in my buddy chuck's basement- shit, wrong one.
The top of Pali at ABasin is 12500ish, isn't it? Is Loveland higher?Quote:

I think Loveland tops out at very close to 13,000. The new lift at Breck is about the same.Quote:

How high are the North Pole Chutes @ A-Basin? 12,500 or so???
Or summit of Peak 8 - 12,998 feet.
Bong-A-Thon in a closet. 1 oz X 3 people. Definately high!
I was wondering that. I thought my high would be A-Basin and looked at the map. The peak is over 13k but the lift service is alot lower. I am sure others will chime in.Quote:

Gosh I've been high so many times I'm not sure if any one experience was higher then another.:D
As far as the non pot smokin kind of high goes somewhere in the 14000 range for me. I've hiked Long's, Grey's, Torrey's, you know all the easy 14ers. Ski wise I guess it would be either top of A-basin, or that peak next to Long's, I forget it's name (maybe I have smoked to much pot):redface:
sparked a celebratory joint at 20,320'.
duuuuuuude.
split most of an ounce of mushrooms with a buddy once.
i dont recommend it by the way.
just to the top of Mt Whitney, so 14,505'
About 14,500 on the Monte Rosa, skiing.
What's the billboard @ Silverton? 13,3**?
14,433 (Elbert) - on foot
Top of Norway lift (higher than Pali) at A-Basin - ~12,900? - on skis
~45,000 ft in a 747 avoiding turbulence. The pilot actually pointed out the curvature of the earth. Really neat to see.
13,487 for the peak at Silverton.
I dont get high I get safe
17,150 on the Rongphu Glacier just above Everest Base Camp in Tibet.
One time I got this high :

skiing - Mammoth 11053'
hiking - summit of mt san jacinto 10834'
Smoke a bowl in front of some mormons and gotta insanely high. Wait, are we talking drugs or mountains?
Skied off of a couple of 14'rs.
Then in Dallas once I was on coke, shroomers, smoking the chronic and then took a hit of nitrous. Pretty sure that was as high as one guy could get.
Silverton Mountain summit = 13487'
I've skied from 14000'+ several times, slept at 15700' and walked to 16354'.
I used to think it was some sort of badge of honor, but it's really not. 20000'+ is worth talking about. Lower than that, meh.
The highest I've been is (allegedly) somewhere around 17,000 (allegedly because we had no maps, no altimeters and only the word of the local on height - although it fits with other info I have on the area), in the Andes. And on skis, around 14,500 in the Himalaya. Weirdly, in the Andes I was fine with the altitude, in India I was weak. Then again, they didn't have coca in India. Less high ontwo counts. :cool:
5,897 m (19,347 ft) climbing. Skiing... I dunno.
A bit over 20K on a failed solo attempt of Langtang in Nepal. Had to abort due to Giardia with the stinky-stinky from every hole in my body.
Can we please have a few more posts joking about the multiple definitions of the word "high?" Thanks!
You know that sign on the ladders that says" do not stand above this step"...?
well I did.
I stood on the very top step and I am here to talk about it today.
but duuuuuuuudeQuote:

18,500 feet jumping out the twin otter at mile high skydiving. Have to fall for almost 25 seconds before getting even with the top of longs peak.
and on skis: Mt Elbert 14,433 ft
Huayna Potosi, Bolivian Andes, 19,974' of just over 6000m mountaineering. Skiiing about 14k.
When I get a hard on the tip of my penis is over 26,000 feet.
On snow, oh prolly 14,000 and change.
Mt. Evans in Colorado is probably my highest at 14,264 ft. Top of Denali 20,320 ft for the Mrs., but she also went to Aconcagua 22,835 ft but turned around because my father-in law was ill.
