I have a Kronos Quartet CD called "Winter Was Hard" but it is all pretty dark music and skiing is a joyful thing. When teaching people to start skiing in some rhythm, I often find myself skiing to Sibelius' Waltz Trieste. Not exactly ski music. Just a Gigolo (David Lee Roth version) is excellent for bouncing exercises though. Blue Danube. Most people know it, so it works pretty well. |

While skiing some solo runs at Kimberley, BC I belted out a few tunes in German from a choral piece our church choir was working on. Does that count? My yodeling would probably scare off any nearby wildlife. Has been replaced in the US with YEE-HAAAAR! (yes I heard that today) Be advised, if they belted out YEE-HAAAAR instead of YEE-HAAAAH or YEE-HAAAAW, then they were probably only pretending to be Texans. The R at the end is a dead give-away. Kind of like people who spell y'all as ya'll. And don't even get me started on people who say y'all when referring to a single person. That started as a Hollywood joke and now people do it just for fun. Or maybe it was those hicks in Alabama or Kentucky who did it, but I've never heard a native Texan use it that way unless as a joke. Of course, the plural of y'all is still "all y'all", just cuz it's fun to say. and sometimes, "DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS". And to think that started as a cheesy anti-litter slogan way back in the early to mid 1980's. I've never quite understood the need to have background music for skiing. I've always preferred the sound of skis on snow, wind in the trees, etc. Snowboards scraping is kind of like fingernails on a chalkboard, only a lot louder. At least it often provides a warning to get out of the way. Q: What are a Texas skier's last words? A: Hey y'all! Watch this! YEE-HAAAAH!!! |

My yodeling would probably scare off any nearby wildlife. I'd _love_ to be out skiing and hear that. I've never quite understood the need to have background music for skiing. It's not for the skiers. It's for the worker ants who got stuck putting up the god damned fences down at the bottom of the hill. |
