When you're skiing which bands / tracks / genres of music do u listen to and why?
I like all sorts of stuff but when skiing tend to opt for more rocky / up tempo stuff....
The following bands / albums seem to get me going and somehow make me ski with more rhythm:
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium / Californication
Linkin Park - anything
The Ramones - Chrysalis Years / Best Of..
Nighwish - anything
Within Temptation -Black Symphony
Evanescence - anything
Faithless - Insomnia
Green Day - Bullet in a Bible
plus others....

None whatsoever - I like to get back to nature when I'm in the mountains. The swish of the skis and the sound of the wind do me fine, I can listen to music back at the chalet or in the bar later.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

no music - the sounds of my skis on snow is enought for me
If I put that on and close my eyes, I am there, riding at speed on a piste, or zipping through the trees, or tickling the powder on a toe side turn looking up behind me and seeing it all glistening.

Some of the livelier choruses from Bach's Christmas Oratorio go down well, I find, interspersed with Guns 'n Roses.

No music, I like to hear what's going on around me. However, I don't mind a bit of a sing song on the chairlift...

Very rarely listen to music while skiing but last lime out I listened to "only by night 2 CD special edition (it has 7 live tracks extra)" then "Master of Puppets" then my "battery" died
the only other time I took my mp3 player on the hill it was Sigur Ros.....

If you listen to music while skiing you need a helmet. Your situational awareness is massively reduced. In fact, forget the helmet argument, ban music while skiing.
I don't listen to music whilst skiing, I would feel less safe if I did so as if I were listening to music I wouldn't be fully concentrating on my skiing. Also I would lose some of the feedback available to me whilst skiing if I could not hear what my skis were doing/going over so my skiing performance (or lack of it ) would be compromised.

The number of people who get on their moralistic high horse about music whilst skiing is equalled only by those who foam at the mouth at the mention of snowblades. Personally, I think they should chill out and listen to some good music. There's nothing remotely antisocial about skiing in a group whilst listening to music. Mute buttons are really quite effective, you know. And if you can communicate with someone else skiing 50m above you - or below you - on a piste you must have an extremely loud voice.

barry, have caught myself humming the latter once or twice... and making the NNNAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH sound of an engine as I go downhill with my arms outstretched like wings.

...I think snowblades are ghey. (ooops, need to pause to wipe away the foam )
I prefer to be able to hear what is happening around me, and getting the additional input from hearing what is happening to the skis, so I don't ski with music. That said, I have a favourite memory of a very late afternoon on a local ski hill, with the sun setting and casting long shadows, virtually nobody left on the run, and mountain restaurant on that particular run playing cruisey piano jazz (I think it was Herbie Hancock) through its outside speakers. Very mellow feeling.

This will clearly come as a shock to many of you, but most music players are equipped with a thing called a 'volume control'. This allows the user to regulate the volume of the music entering the earholes such that other sounds may still be easily detected by said aural apparatus.

under a new name, and also ban CD players and Ipod docks in cars.... and in bars for that matter (in case you don't hear the guy with the tray of pints sneaking up behind you)..... and why not at home too (you may miss that all important phone call from your gran)....
Hey, if people wanna listen to their ski's etc thats fine by me.... if they wanna listen to music thats also fine....
And in any case the thread was "What music whilst skiing?"... not "Do you listen to music while skiing" or "Should you be allowed to listen to music while skiing" ..... go and get your own thread
