My old car had a weather band radio. On occassion, when stopped next to a thumpa car I'd crank up the robot voice and give everyone a weather update. WOrked best if I closed all the windows except the one facing the offender.

My new/old subie outback rocks the weather band radio too. It kicks ass. That chick has a sexy voice, even if it is computerized.

As for music... the only time I listen while skiing is when I'm lapping the trails solo at Wachusett. Keeps me occupied and give me something to listen to aside from the 3 other 15 year olds arguing on the lift chair next to me. Generally speaking, I know the trails so well at Wachusett and where the bad spots are, reducing my hearing I believe does not put me in a significant amount of danger. I ski faster than the vast majority of people there anyway and 99% of the traffic comes from in front of me where I can see it. I'm extra careful about merging from a stop or at a trail crossing.

I don't use earphones even when I'm by myself at bigger mountains. My sentiments are similar to others, even with a helmet on and wind noise, I still use my sense of hearing enough to rely on it a fair amount, especially in unfamiliar terrain.

Usually use an iPod shuffle, which I clip to the outside of my jacket; easy to adjust volume, pause, etc. I got an iPhone, so maybe I'll try to use that and see if I can tolerate the cell phone thing......

Aerosmith "Walk This Way" and the Run DMC + Aerosmith cover are the only rap on my iPod.

My old car had the weather band on it. i thought it was someone of middle eastern decent that was holed up in his house making forecasts 24/7. I would listen to it different times for golf and was amazed not matter what time I tuned in he was on.

I supose I could lpad up the MP3 player with Redneck Jazz and crank it up while talking on my cell ohone, but it seems to be too much of a distraction from skiing.

Something about white boys listening to rap, always reminds me of the beginning of the movie "Office Space".
