Jimmi Hendrix once said: "Music is a safe kind of high". Given the right risk management, for many people powder days are also "a kind of high". So it makes sense to combine the two. In the PowderGuide Playlist "Powderdays" on Spotify, the PowderGuide.com editors have collected their favorite songs for the best days on skis and boards. And since tastes are known to differ, the playlist is not perfectly planned. The music styles range from fast guitars to melodic electropop and from international classics to Swiss dialect reggae. But that's exactly what makes the playlist exciting and maybe you'll find a new favorite song for your perfect powder day in our colourful mix.
Alex: A morning classic in the Skibum flat share is Azari & III with "Hungry For The Pow(d)er". The perfect song when 30cm+ of fresh snow has fallen overnight, nobody has to go to work or university and you're really "hungry for the powder". Whoever is woken up with it is guaranteed to have a 5* day in the snow! You can choose between the original or the Jamie Jones Remix, the remix is more in the direction of loud & only with lots of bass.
Lea: I only listen to music when I'm skiing when I'm on my own and then usually just what I usually have a lot in my ears. Channel Tres is a relatively new discovery, I really like it at the moment. DJ Krush is a recently rediscovered classic.
Lorenzo: Even though I don't listen to music while skiing, I have a few songs that would fit well on a powder day playlist: Pink Floyd with "Breathe", or the whole Dark Side of the Moon album. It's actually long since been played to death, but it's always worth listening to. Alternatively in the Dub-Version of Easy Star All Stars. And John Brown's Body - "Amplify": a kind of monumental mixture of Seeed, gospel & Bob Marley. As with Alex, the same applies to this song: Nothing for low volumes or little bass.
