This winter was a split between Trampled by Turtles (especially Codeine), and old school Atmosphere, Brother Ali, and POS. I've gotten into Robert Randolph and Michael Franti at the trailhead this summer though...

Ever since I saw Jon Olsson ski to it in Oakleys "1242", it's always been my "get me amped" song.

If you ain't rockin' Super G. You are missing out.

Run to the Hills

**ChowdahRidah** · 10-03-2007, 12:05 PM

All reggae all the time... But the one reggae album that really hits it is Alpha Blonde live from Paris. Can be hard to find but it's insane. He doesn't even speak in English, for all I know he could be saying I hate skiing but the beats and the solos are awesome on this album for ripping powder. Politici is the shit.

**ChowdahRidah** · 10-03-2007, 12:06 PM

If not reggae I have a stacked iPod that I scroll through on the lift. I've caught myself skiing to the Dead, Phish, and then Madonna and Prince all in the same day. If the groove is right don't fight it.

**ChowdahRidah** · 10-03-2007, 12:08 PM

Jurassic 5 is also great to ski to if you're into hip-hop.

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.

Couple years back, I was driving up the road into Squaw Valley, with Tool's Lateralus playing, cranked up to about 27. That song has a beat that's somehow perfect for getting into the mood and rhythm for some hard charging down the hill. 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.

That's actually from the album Det Som Engang Var, which doesn't contain the actual song "Det Som Engang Var". The actual song starts out the next album "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss". The two albums are very different - Det Som Engang Var (the album) is more like a Bathory clone. Vickerness really didn't record anything that groundbreaking until Hvis Lyset Tar Oss. 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).

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.

This is what you wanted
