Radiohead "exit music for a film"
Air "Venus"
SO EPIC.
Best shit driving up LCC in a storm.
Wake me up before you go go. WHAM!
I know the worst shit driving up LCC. Shotgun put some Country (and Western) on. Nearly drove off the road trying to get the damn stuff to stop. Best to get to the ski area without sounds and contemplate lines to be taken. On long drives slap on an opera - it makes the time go fast and the accelarator to be heavy. Puts the shotgun to sleep too.Quote:

Anyway, I pull into the lot just as the song reaches its climax--look over to the car next to me, and the guys getting booted up have the same song playing, running about 10 seconds behind. I knew right then it would be a good day, and it was.
Second that.Quote:

The song Det Som Engang Var is on Youtube, but the first four minutes are cut off and the first four minutes are the defining moments of the song. Just imagine sitting on top of a mountain during a raging storm and you're in the late stages of hypothermia (y'know - you no longer feel cold and everything is like a dream).Quote:

I'll never forget rolling up to Big White a few years back with my buds, and it's fucking nuking out. Tool's Ticks & Leeches is just hitting the final crescendo of sonic rock and roll dominance, and we're all zoned right into it glowing with the buzz of pow to come and wicked tunes that fit the mood so tight. Kicked off one of my best days ever! Listening to it again on the way out still gets the adrenaline flowing every time.

I always love to listen to Quadraphenia on the way up the hill between Bishop and Mammoth, with Dr. Jimmy/Mr Jim for the parking lot.
It used to be this:
but now this seems to get me stoked to ski whenever it's on the radio. Ever since the James Heim's scene in Breathe and Stop. That was some good footage.
There are a few good tunes posted here and a shit load that sound like you guys are involved in a life style of man on man love.
with that said If you are not pulling into the parking lot with the sound turned all the way up blasting James Browns "Sex Machine"
U might B a Fag!
For some reason, the last couple of months I've stopped listening to music altogether. Don't know why.
I do this with coffee or particular foods sometimes too. Months at a time.
I'd be willing to bet that for most of us, if we pull into a ski area parking lot and it is, or has been nuking, that it won't really matter what music is playing or even if music is playing. We're gonna be pretty stoked. That said, I like songs I know the words to so I can sing myself silly (don't worry, I stop when I open the doors). This might range from Don McLean's "American Pie" to Flogging Molly or Pearl Jam (Eddy Vedder surfs, and many of their rhythms fit turning on snow too). Once my skis hit the snow though, the tunes are off.
Lots of good stuff here.
However: When you are just about to turn that last corner before seeing your destination i don´t think you can do much better than this:

I bought Back In Black when it first hit the shelves on vinyl, so it's been with me from it's emergence.
I always play Back in Black (AC/DC), Foreplay>Long Time (Boston) and Back Where It All Begings (Allmans) on the first few drives of the season.
After that it's a steady diet of Tosh until the wife takes over the tunes and insists on heavy techno... Then I feel like eating a bean instead of going skiing but I digress.
