Music to get you pumped for snowboarding
All right, all right, I know I should have posted this weeks ago so all of you folks who drive up to the mountain on a regular basis could have some new ideas for your in-car playlists! Even though the season is drawing to a close (argh, it was near 80 in some areas in LA last weekend), I know I’ll still be heading up to Mammoth a few more times.
With the long drive, in addition to the games and conversation to be had, good music is a must for passing the time. I asked the usual suspects what music they love to hear either when they’re driving, getting suited up to hit the hill in the morning, or having drinks while preparing to hit the town after a day of boarding! Ranging from punk to old school hip-hop, these choices will get you pumped up.

Shannon from Shayboarder wrote a post about her music playlists back in December.
As for me, I’m partial to hip-hop… particularly Ludacris’ “MOVE BITCH” track… it’s fun to play in the car when we’re trying to find parking and people are being idiots 
Jessie and I also love the Beastie Boys, Missy Elliot… and I really like the latest Kanye album. I’m also a house music head but that doesn’t always go over well!
What is some of your favorite music for snowboarding, driving to the mountains, or before you go out and do the apres-ski thing?

Now I have proof that I’m not in touch with the musical scene of today. There are many groups on that list that I have never heard of, and even among the groups whose name I know, I couldn’t ID a single song on this list! Then again, when riding I’m partial to the Allman Brothers and other old guys.
