I wear headphones around my neck so I can still hear it when I want to but can easily tune in or out and can still hear people coming. Most of the time other people aren’t subjected to my weird taste but sometimes going up a lift they might be…I usually just muffle it with my jacket though in that instance.

I wore buds in my ears a bit but as crackers said, I got way too psyched and rode like a nutbag. I really like the compromise I’ve come up with as you get the best of both worlds. I find riding with music helps me get my rhythm a bit and if I’m not riding so well, a good song can help me relax and get my rhythm

I only crank up the tunes when I ride with the Ullr boys - LOUD as possible - so I don’t have to listen to all their bullshit.

^awesome

I always ride with tunes.. just one earbud though. like to be able to hear edges and also have a convo on chairs, basically just background music to help get into a rhythm but once i’m in an area I don’t know in trees etc I always take it out.

music choice changes upon my mood but never anything heavy, used to ride mainly to a lot to dnb/dub sets as there was no concept of time etc but also really enjoy some upbeat stuff electro-ish type stuff to some good hip hop.. basically my snowboarding playlist is a good 90+track mix which covers a 6+ hours of completely random tunes I like.
