Hi guys,

I was wondering wether you like to listen to music while riding, and if yes, what kind?

As for me, my best investment of the year (except for my skis!) was the 130€ spent on helmet speakers. It changes everything!! And I love to listen to dancehall. You?

I listen to music about 40% of the time. Never in powder. I usually have a playlist going w/ songs and artists from recent ski movies.

i kinda prefer being able to talk to some of the other freeskiers in the park, but otherwise, its gotta be up-beat rap. denizen kane, some typical cats, evil, pos, and even a bit of notorious..

They need to invent some headphones with a good size button that turns the volume down really low for riding the lift. Once you get to the top you hit the button and your rocking full volume again. Lots of headphones have a volume control piece, but they are little, and tough to handle without taking your gloves off.

this year i made a pretty good electronic playlist with like Deadmau5, shawn mitiska (dj), pretty lights, bonobo, bassnectar,  sts9, nosaj thing, pnuma trio and more. that was pretty dope. the pulsing beats are reall good for getting in a rythym but on pow days i usually go back to the reggae cause you just can go wrong

ya that would be really nice, my helmet has a mute button which is pretty much what you just described and it works really well.  press it if people are trying to talk to me, press it again and im ready to ski.

on occasion but usually ill just sing along to a song i have stuck in my head that day.

I remember a few scattered days that consisted of a lot of Rihanna for some reason and the New Soul song and boom boom pow.

pretty obnoxious songs, i have no idea why they were in my head, id maybe listened to each twice in my life however i seemed to know the whole thing by heart

very very seldom. I hate not being able to talk to my bros because they're rockin' out... it sucks.

When I do listen, I put speakers in my backpack for all to enjoy.

As for music styles....well some how my ipod has turned into a soundtrack for the top rated videos on newschoolers. lol

music gives a sort of rhythm while skiing ... when the beat is good the mood is good and then you can do more stuff

I listen to music all the time when I ride, except on the chair lift.  But I usually have rap going the whole time from the park to the pow in my giro helmet with the skullcandy ear pads. 

Usually listening to Swollen Members, Hilltop Hoods, Sweat Shop Union, The Herd, any thing with a good consistent beat which seems to be a trend in this thread.
