Is there a skier's anthem?

[Super G]

I came up with some ski songs about 15 years ago that get some people fired up to ski. These are two of my favorites. If you like more, check out episodes 1-5 on Super G TV

Sickbird


Wintertime

[Buster Highmen]

Not for every skier but:

[ill-advised strategy]

I don't think there really is a skier's anthem, but what do I know.
this is music that makes me think of skiing...


blizzard of aahhhs songs:









This song will always make me think of the Utah segment in Waiting Game:



This song always makes me think of the Snowbird nationals:




There's no better song than this for getting up at dark thirty when it's freezing cold to go bang around on some assholes-and-elbows inbounds pow day:

Mountain Song by J A



Never made it into a flick but this one gets me amped up for skiing too. I'm Spun.

[TahoeJ]

I think Jukebox Hero has to be the winner. I doubt there's a single person on this forum who could hear that song and not immediately think of McConkey's Claim segment.

[JohnF]

This song fits end of summer, coming of winter.

[MataPaw]

This one always gets it going. A little love for some Shambala...

[The Gnarwhale]

Bob Gibson's "Super Skier" LP from 1959 is a gem. Here's a cut:

[reckless toboggan]

TGR is slipping...

[covert]

this is a license to thrill.

I don't know if anybody could embed it , But

Scot's segment in ' Prophecy ' to Aerosmith made me an Aerosmith fan .

In a world full of people, only some want to fly. Isn't that crazy?

[the_big_lepowski]

That is a damn fine list you've compiled there yetiman

Bob Gibson's "Super Skier" LP from 1959 is a gem.

It's been close to 40 years since I've heard Super Skier, Now it will be years until that stupid song isn't stuck in my head again any more.

[Jimty]

Just remembered this one - "Shadow of the Season" by The Screaming Trees. A song for all those who spend the hot months counting down the days to the cold months. I could really imagine this being used in a ski film intro or trailer...

[Todd Zander]

Eric clapton- cocaine.

Yea cant think of any others

[that dude who did that thing]

THe answer to the OP is a resounding NO! THere is not a single, universally accepted anthem of skiing. Nor should there be. There are too many different ways, reasons, places, and methods to skiing for much about it to be universal. There are universalities in the conditions (cold, snowy) that cause all skiers to have a partially shared experience, but a musical choice would be about the stoke you want, and that just varies way too much, not only betwen individuals, but even for the same individual at different poitns in the process.

After seeing 4 different flicks featuring Awolnation's "Sail" a few years back I got really annoyed by that fucking song.

[The Suit]

I'm with Yetiman. Soundtrack to Blizzard of Aaahs. I'd add Frozen Faces and Escape From New York

[TBS]

I've heard a lot of Bob Marley in ski lots over the years

Yup, I hear a lot of Jack Johnson and gangsta rap too - unfuckingfortunately. I don't equate JJ or NWA with skiing - or music for that matter.

Agreed with Jamespio that the anthem is personal. Here's my fav cuts for dropping in
