Great Ski Songs - Ultimate Shredder's Playlist

Music Wed! Having spent a week or so in the mountains near two of my fave ski sites (i.e., Targhee and Jackson Hole), and having played with my GoPro during our adventures, it made me start to dream of my favorite time of the year -- ski season! Hence, this Music Wed I am noting some of my favorite songs to listen to on my headphones while skiing. I like the constant musical soundtrack playing in my head as I ski, so here are some songs that always jack me up and inspire me to want to take on that Double Black Diamond mogle run or that off trail run thru the trees instead of settling for the groomed main trail.  First pick is one of the most laughable tracks u will ever hear if u listen to the words. The track is "Born with a Tail" by the Supersuckers (here is a hilarious live version! http://youtu.be/tLbnlgaBZ38). Sit back, bang ur head and raise ur middle finger in salute to this weird tune. The second song is The Vapors' classic, "Turning Japanese" -- pure MTV brain candy with an irresistible beat and chorus (and here is the original MTV video version in all its early '80s glory http://youtu.be/gEmJ-VWPDM4). Bring on the mogles! Finally, I was tempted to pick The Knack's "My Sharona", but that was not quite aggressive enough - I need more Linkin Park, or even perish the thought, Limp Bizkit, to kick me into high gear for a ripping run, so in tribute to Jenelle, I have to pick My Chemical Romance's "Teenagers" ( http://youtu.be/wqSF7Qu89jw ). Awesome chorus, good screechy guitars and lots of anger. A perfectly combustible mix for charging headlong into a steep run or a plunge into the trees. Listen, rock hard, and most of all, Enjoy!
