Final Thoughts
Those were the best songs to listen to while snowboarding. Give them a listen and let me know what you think!
Finally… it’s always nice just to listen to nothing but the sound of the snow underneath your board…
Don’t listen to anything but the sound of the mountain, especially if you are glacier or back bowl snowboarding. You just can’t beat the stillness of the mountains and the sound of your board carving up the snow. Combine that with the wind rushing in your ears…. beautiful. One of the coolest sounds on Earth!
Happy Shredding!
