So I like Calexico, Thomas Mapfumo, Social Disortion and mid-70s Bowie.

For me, much of the value of winter backcountry skiing is so closely tied to nature's delicacy i.e. quite thump of snow falling off trees, birds chirping, (or, in the Front Range, wind howling,) that music simply lessens the experience. And, there are minor safety implications with blasting music, namely listening to what the snowpack is saying. Don't get me wrong - as a semi-professional musician, I love music. I just prefer to keep it in the urban setting. cheers, Brian I must agree with Thom – I’d suggest simply leaving the music at home.

Sometimes I just "need a little booster". We all appreciate the calming effects of going unplugged. But when I need a boost I load in "Power" by Snap, and " Search for the Hero" by Mpeople. Turn up the VOLUME! Music is motivating for sure and I can really relate. Sometimes I just “need a little booster”. We all appreciate the calming effects of going unplugged.
