Starland Vocal Band - Afternoon Delight, I rock it at top volume.





















Not!!!!

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.

[Caucasian Asian]

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.

[PORNO SAVED MY LIFE!]

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!

[Lonnie]

This one

[trainnvain]

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.

[Steepdeepnlong]

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.

[SiSt]

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:

Kyuss - Sky Valley gets me going every time!

Coming Down the Mountain- Jane's Addiction

A sick song right as the boots are pulled on and gearing up. espescially after a steady diet of hip hop and reggae.

[flatNshallow]

anything off "My Beach" by the Surf Punks. Actually more of a drive to the beach/surfing album but its the thought that counts...

For your consdieration, "Big Top"

[kokomas]

i'm with the the tool crowd

[Rasputin]

When you're in the truck, on the way to the mountain, sitting on the tailgate putting on boots, taking the mountain bikes off the rack, heading out to wakeboard etc...what is your Go To Song to get in the mood?

Hey, how did you know I have a truck?

For me it seems to be Back In Black. It often comes on the radio on the way to the mountain, and was playing as I arrived the first day of the season a couple years back when I had my first season pass at Snowbowl. Being as I'm Rasputin and all, I was dressed in black.

I bought Back In Black when it first hit the shelves on vinyl, so it's been with me from it's emergence.

[ChowdahRidah]

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.
