Radiohead & Ben Harper, Foo Fighters

Now you see you can't just name a group and say they are good to ski to. They may be your favourite artists, but I certainly wouldnt want to ski to Fake Plactic Trees or the accoustic version of Times Like These, as great as they are in their own right.
Monkey Wrench however, you may have a point....

Indeed, and maybe not 90% of Radiohead either. But I'd certainly bomb along to Just.

Personal favourites of mine to ski to are

Kasabian - Reason is treason
Arcade Fire - Laika
Doves - Pounding (funnily enough being used on Ski Sunday right now)
Stone Roses - I am the Resurrection (album version)

Three thumbs up! I'd also nominate:

Arctic Monkeys - Dancing Shoes, Perhaps Vampires is a bit strong but..., Crying Lightning, Still Take You Home,

Charlatans - Over Rising, The Only One I Know

Interpol - PDA, Slow Hands, Roland

And almost anything by Pixies.

I've got an iPod shuffle I always take skiing, with c.200 songs I love skiing to. Also because the new shuffles are so small they're less inconvenient and less likely to break. I wouldn't risk a big iPod touch on the slopes, or at least not until I get better at skiing!

On my Ipod at the moment and would listen to are:

Foo Figheters - Times like these, Wheels
Radiohead - Just, Creep
Red Hot Chilli's - Can't Stop, By The Way
Linkin Park - Bleed it Out, By Myself
Kings of Leon - Crawl, Use Somebody
U2 - Get on your Boots, Beautiful Day

If I'm looking for speed then "Nu Metal" gets me going everytime, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Sum 41.

If I'm concentrating on form then I tend to go for Stereophonics or Travis, something about them just seems calming and suits the views of the alps, in my opinion.

I've skiied with my iPhone 3G for two seasons now and as long as its in an inside pocket I've never felt it was in any danger.

Agreed. My iPhone (in hard case) felt pretty safe.
You should look at jailbreaking and installing 'Glove Pod' as this allows you to change tracks by clicking the volume up and down buttons. Taking your gloves off to use the touchscreen can be a real PITA.
