Consider the mood you want to set and the music that will keep you going when you put together your ultimate playlist. On different days of the week, you'll want to listen to different kinds of music on the mountain.
Some days on the mountain serve as a reminder of why you ride, what it is you enjoy about the sport, and what it is about the mountains that draws you in. The days following a fresh snowfall are known as "powder days" because of the fluffy white layer that is left behind. Getting up early and getting dressed and fueling up with a good breakfast are no longer optional these days if you want to ski or board in pristine powder before everyone else does. So, to go along with such monumental occasions, you'll want a killer playlist that will get you out of bed and moving through the heavy pow. Deep house, techno, dance, and even rock might be appropriate on these occasions. When it comes to music for bouncing through the snow, you need a playlist that's upbeat and has a steady beat to keep you on track. These are the tunes that will inspire you to work hard in the gym all year round, so that you can enjoy these "power days," which tend to be hard on the ageing legs, when they finally come around.
When you're on the slopes, you might prefer a different ambience than when you're in the mountains. You're tearing down the slopes at breakneck speed, clocking serious distances across the valley. There is nothing better than a bluebird day on the slopes, punctuated by pit stops at mountain restaurants and bars, than a day in the powder. You need music that reflects the exuberance and joy of a day on the slopes, so we prefer electronic and dance-pop tunes. More words and attitude than the powder day songs, but less intense and tamer beats. Songs for a day on the slopes should lift your spirits and strengthen your patience as you navigate the crowds on the mountain and stand in line for 10 minutes at a time.
When you're not out boarding, listen to tunes to help you appreciate the beauty of the mountains and the snow even more. On a long chairlift or gondola ride, when you have time to relax, talk with your companions, and take in the breathtaking views. Feel good and folk playlists will come in handy when you're driving to and from the ski resort, as well as when you're on the lifts alone. If you're looking for something to listen to when when travelling to the mountain try something like indie rock, folk, or tropical house.
The perfect playlist can make or break your snowboarding or skiing experience. So, what are the best songs for snowboarding and skiing? Here’s a few recommendations to kick off your playlist.
"Dance Yrself Clean" by LCD Soundsystem
"Under The Milky Way" by The Church
"The Funeral" by Band of Horses
"Ride My Bike" by Laid Back
“Do or Die” by Childish Gambino
“Legendary” by Welshy Arms
“Parachute”by Otto Knows
“International Anthem “ by Flux Pavilion
“Werk” by CID
“Ready 2 wear” by Felix da Housecat
As well a killer playlist, remember it’s always nice to just listen to the sound of your board or skis on the snow... If you're snowboarding on a glacier, backcountry or back bowl, turn off your music and focus solely on the sounds of the mountain. There's nothing like the silence of the mountains, the sound of your board or skis slicing through the snow, and the rush of wind in your ears.
Happy shredding and see you out on the slopes! ✌🏻
