I've created a similar thread, but then Jan mentioned this one and I think there's lots of good info in here so it's well worth a bump.

I'm listening to Braveheart OST, and althought I never ski I think that would be a fantastic song to listen while in the mountains.

Jan sorry, I should have done a search. Would you like to bring back your old thread as it has soo much info in there.
