Playlist for the slopes

Gaz I do have my image to consider ..... but seriously these people who ski
with ipod playing are complete idiots, I wonder if they have ever considered the consequences of killing someone whilst skiing and how they will live with that for the rest of their lives .... a complete joke. rant over :twisted:

My iPod tends to get used on lifts but I have skied with music in my ears but only when it's on an uncrowned slope.

I also totally understand Ian's dislike for this, in terms of a safely issue. But people do like to listen to music. You'll be saying its unsafe to drive with the radio on next ;-)

If I remember correctly, Ian you don't even like music on a video?

As you know we have every body trying to become proffesional video producers all I suggest is go back to basics, cameras are pretty good nowadays they do not pick up a lot of wind noise and make a nice natural vid.
it has nothing to do with saftey on the slopes which I for one take very seriously Having Mrs W nearly being hit from behind Little W nearly being hit from behind over the years, anybody that listerns to music whilst skiing has no respect for themselves, other people or the mountain, it is also a sorry state of affairs that we are still dicussing this issue, I am guesing some idiots will never change. People can poo poo this post but we all have a responsibility for saftey in the mountains :evil:

Interesting about your big safety concerns yet like me you choose not to wear a helmet. I'd have thought with your views that you'd be banging on about wearing a lid by now mate ;-)

Completlty differing argument that one as well you know !!!!!

Have to say the slopes are full of idiots who who couldn't give a toss about other peoples safety,this sport of ours aint crown green bowling as for helmets whilst its up to the individual anybody who don't wear one must be bats and I for one look far cooler in my lid than the silly twats in their daft wooly hats.

I get around this problem by singing loudly. It helps my skiing rythm and clears people out of my way.

My fave tune of the moment is "That's Amore" by Dean Martin :mrgreen:

This will be very useful in the Dolomites on the J2Ski Hol in 2014.
