What's in your.....skiing playlist?

More an old school metalhead. Give me some Sabbath, Maiden, Metallica before the Black Album, Anthrax,Pantera, Faith No More, , Slayer, some good NYC hardcore like Sheer Terror. Some select punk like Misfits with Glen Danzig still in the band, Pixies, DRI, etc. Little Nu Metal, Slipknot, Static X. Then throw in some Floyd, The Doors, Hendrix, Stones etc. Much I am not thinking of right now.

Like these guys a bit, interesting videos at the least:

These days I do most of my music listening in the car during my 40-minute commute to work.
I like Little Steven's Underground Garage quite a bit on Sirius XM. When I switch over to my iPod thingie it mostly goes like:

Springsteen
Springsteen
Springsteen
Dylan
Springsteen
Dylan
Springsteen
Dylan
Springsteen
Cash
Cash

Throw in some Dead, Neil Young and pretty much anybody who played (or should have played) Woodstock in '69. If I'm feeling a bit more modern, I might run through a bunch of Phish.
"Hip" is not a word that is often used to describe me.  Proud of it.

LOL Jeff I'm down with all of that except the Springsteen.

It takes three Neil Young songs to get from the cabin to the Gore parking lot:

Sugar Mountain
Needle and the Damage Done
Like a Hurricane

... usually creating some kind of scene as I pull the skis out of the trunk... "getting blown away..."

I thought you quit kid.  I'm a metal guy too

The sound of my skis slicing through the snow to the beat of twigs tapping my helmet.

This. And occasionally the music of the spheres.

That's pretty much the music I listened to in high school. I still do every now and then when feeling nostalgic. The Hard Core scene helped me through my angry teenage years but I'm just not angry enough anymore for it so it gets old. Sheer Terror was one of my favorites. I saw them play a bunch during the early 90's. Sick Of It All was a great live show, those guys put their heart into their live performances. Into Another was one of my very most favorites, I saw them play at least a dozen times. I really enjoyed the Sunday matinees at the Wetlands during those years. I even had a guitar for several years and my friends and I put together a band, I stopped after high school, I guess I wasn't really that into it and in all honesty even though I enjoyed the creative aspect about it, I was probably only motivated to do that to meet girls.

This is a clip of our band covering Sick People by Breakdown at a local NJ club in 92. This night we opened for Agnostic Front and Napalm Death, there were a couple of other bands too but I don't remember who. It was a great experience when I was a teenager and a lot of fun, I'm really happy I did that but after high school all I wanted to do was get out of there and be skiing in the west so I did. Note: this sounds terrible.

I like the classic rock too but I have been hearing it for 40 years now, I don't know how people go through life listening to the same music the whole time. It's kind of like experiences, I just can't do the same stuff over and over again. There have been times during huge winters, 600 inches of snow in the Tetons where I had to take 2 weeks off from skiing while it was dumping just to reboot my stoke. I guess it just comes down to how we are wired and luckily we aren't all the same, that would be boring.

I have been listening to a little Grateful Dead recently. The show recordings of the late 70's are really cool. I also just watched "The Other One", a documentary film about Bob Weir. It was really good! What a fantastic story and life he has had.

This stir feelings of envy and disgust in anyone else, such that I really want to hate this mother Focker, but can't?

Sublime ,laid back groove,very rhythmic ,no angst.

Oooo, good call! I revisit them every now and then and it's always fun. It brings me back to my mid 90's Steamboat days. For two years you couldn't go to a house party or bar without hearing Sublime.

At some point I'll share some Steamboat stories on here. Not yet, this is about the music we enjoy. :)

Sorry man! I'm weird and I have spent a life chasing snow and skiing. But to quote a famous cartoon sailor, "I am what I am" I can't change that.

This is cracking me up.

Not much of a Dead fan, had a lot of hippie friends in school who couldn't get enough of it...I had after that. They loved bongo drums for some reason too. Go figure.

It's not so much that I'm angry anymore (though I do live in downstate NY so it's useful.., plus I might still be angry ) but it's still the stuff that gets my blood flowing. I like to powerlift as well, so it's a good fit, especially when I'm not in the mood to hit the weights, to get my adrenaline up and get under the bar (channel some of my youthful rage.)

Don't listen when I am riding, and on the radio at this point I probably listen to some sort of talk radio most of the time, but about 30 min or so from the mountain, after a long drive starting early to beat the NYC traffic, and if we don't have any kids in the car, I'm going to be cranking some sort of heavy music fairly loud.


Went to the 2005(I think) Sheer Terror reunion concert, some good footage of the show and a documentary done on them on Youtube for it if you are interested still.


ETA: I will still get in the pit nearing 40 and knock all the youngins on their bony asses

I just watched that documentary about a month ago or so. They are bad ass. The hard core pride gangster sort of theme from a lot of the east coast bands seems silly to me at this age and I have a hard time taking it seriously, I get it and it worked for me when I needed that but not so much anymore. This is why Sheer Terror was so freaking good, they weren't into that at all, they were more punk rock really but with that dark and heavy NY sound. You wouldn't catch me jumping into a mosh pit at this age! I would be pissed if I got injured and it got in the way of my outdoor sports, I think it's great that you do tho! This album and Just Can't Hate Enough were my two favorites. I would put JCHE on a top 10 NYHC album list.
