Nothing more than the "regular voices" i'm always hearing in my head ;) :rolleyes:

Most of the time though unless I'm really screwing up my run technically (that's when the voices start getting active for me to get things back together), all that's going through my head is reading the hill and picking out where I plan on making my next couple of turnss

Generally music. If it's one of those really pristine days with low crowds I'll opt for silence and try to cue in to the sounds of the snow, winds, snow falling off trees, critters ,etc on the lift ride up. Only voice in the head is saying "Nice!", "Whoa!", "Oh, crap!" and a few "Yeehaas!!"

You don't want to know what the voices in my head are saying. That shit could get me in trouble. :wink:

Actually I do sing & talk to myself. Some of the best conversations I've had in my entire life have been talking with myself on a mountain while skiing. :lol:

I've been known to let out a curse if I catch an edge or hit a mogul wrong. I hate talking that way but it happens.

Despite being an accomplished potty mouth, the majority of stuff I say to myself while skiing is clean.

If I do curse, it's a good time to have a camera rolling. Good chance of a massive yardsale.
