Reader Poll: Best Ski/Ride Tune?

Here's an important question for you blog readers out there. What's your fave song to ride or ski to? I can't offer cash prizes for your inspired selections, but I can offer fame and glory on this website. Assuming that there actually are some of you blog readers out there, stay tuned for the ultimate ski/ride playlist to amp you up for your future powder experiences. (May they be plentiful and filled with music.) 

Here is a video from The Levitation Project (accompanied by Talking Heads) to get your musical juices flowing. Please comment below...

Almost anything sung by Della Reese, but especially 'Someday (You'll Want Me to Want You)' and 'You Came a Long Way from St. Louis'.

for steep deep fluff, gotta have 'voodoo chile' by jimi. it's just the right length. for trees, it's 'midnight man' by nick cave. and bumps, rage against is decent stuff.

I'm pretty sure it's going to be "A Glorious Dawn" Carl Sagan remix, tomorrow will tell.

My ultimate pump up song for cycling and running (no snow in Dallas) is Bed for the Scraping by Fugazi from the album Red Medicine. The "I don't want to be defeated" chorus is like a mantra spoken in indie, post-punk hard core.

For skiing, it is, without a doubt, Pop Looks Back by Sam Fonteyn. Not sure about boarding though, probably something a bit harder.

For a very long time, "King of the Mountain" by Midnight Oil. Not so much anymore, it not being the 90s and all. Every once in a while though...

Someday by Flypside or Rev Theory's Hell Yeah

"Lift" by Brad (Stone Gossard from Pearl Jam's 90s side-project). "Comin' down the Mountain" by Jane's Addiction.

For pre-ski, "Crazy Game of Poker" by OAR. While on the slopes, you can't go wrong with a little Wolfmother for that extra adrenaline kick.
