Songs that should be in ski porn

[mondeo]

Every once in a while I hear a song on the radio and just get the feeling it would be perfect as background for ski porn. Couple that've been on recently:



Would be great to juxtapose flowing powder bowls, spines, pillow drops with cliff drops, BC freestyle, whatever. Intro or outro would be a good spot:

C. anything but what Greg picks

I forgot Kickstart My Heart.

 

[Glenn]

I'd like to hear more "regular" music in ski films. It's either weird crap, or obscure rap.

I have a favorite song that I love to ski to particularly during a snowy powder day. "Ridin the Storm Out" by REO. Even mentions the Rocky Mountains really putting me in the mood.

I must admit,this old guy never heard of Cage but I really like what I saw.

Good call Alien. My buddy and I do a video for our annual ski trip. 2009 was Snowbasin, Canyons, Solitude. We named the video GSL and Band of Horses Great Salt Lake was the opening track.

All ski videos should use the music from the Blizzard of Aaahhs. I have the "Act" album used on that movie in my iTunes library.

 

[Black Phantom]

Anything by Minor Threat

This thread is awesome.

I lean toward the hard rock side of music while I watch my ski porn. I still haven't found a film that really nails it musically. The opening scene from TGR's Anomaly is pretty great. Warren Millers stuff is pretty strange sometimes. MHF always throws in some random crap that almost detracts from the movie. (see example, Born from Ice) I need to watch that on mute.

For me:

Chevelle's Clincher:

Trapt's Stand Up:

But then...for when I want something a little more chill like a big mountain scene:

Soulive's Liquid:

[SIKSKIER]

Well,seeing how I love to ski fast,I would have Sammy Hagar's "I cant drive 55" spinning in my brain.

 

[Mullen]

Jane's Addiction - Coming down the mountain.

 

[legalskier]

Ummm, John Denver?

Funny you should mention it--here's a guy who was cited for "rocking out" to John Denver's music:

I didn't realize anyone could rock out to John Denver's music!

I think obscure music is heard in a lot of ski films to avoid prohibitive royalties.

Air - Don't be light



Slow start, showing helicopter landing and the skiers clicking in and peering out over the lip. I'm thinking Alaska, with some sort of weird sunlight going, maybe orange-ish, and some wind blowing.
