In the nineties, MCA (Adam Yaunch) would spend a great deal of time snowboarding at Utah's Snowbird Retreat. For a time, he rented an apartment with pro snowboarder Mike Basich.

Some sources state that he would use LSD as eye-droplets during this period, using them on lifts and then hitting black diamond slopes.
