Music when Skiing?

Time to pretend...Twas that track that helped me make up my mind and get the hell out of the rat race! Love it!

Baldy has said it all ....... Responsisbilty guy's

If someone playing music knocked over me or mine I would not be reponsible for my actions

I don't have mine in loud. I can still hear others and have conversations

Do you listen to the radio in the car Ian?

Less reliant on ear's in a car icy ... as you well know, again it is the Hypocrisy of lid wearers they seem to see the dangers of not wearing a lid but seem to see no danger in taking away a sense :!:

Hear what you are saying. But, personally speaking mine is not even loud enough to block out someone talking to me, never mind ski instructors. In fact, when I was getting in a lift, an instructor asked Mr to take on a kid, if my music was blaring I would not have been able to hear her.

Should blind skiers be banned from the slopes, and deaf people too??

What ever I say you are still gonna do what what you are gonna do, all I do is give my opinion ......
just try and keep safe on the slopes.

No music for me whilst skiing (although I am big music listener when at home and travelling). I like all my senses to be tuned in to my surroundings....

I sometimes have my headphones in when on my motorbike but normally only use on of them so i can hear what is going on around me - especially living just outside London you get all sort "driving" cars! :(

I just like the serenity of being on an empty mountain and so don't listen to music whist skiing.

I don't think it would be dangerous - perhaps you might not hear someone coming from behind but that's supposed to be their look out. (likewise a piste basher - but they got loud horns)
I'm not sure which way I'd go if there was a shout of avalanche so perhaps better not to know! )
