So if your skiing heavy BC (ill be in the andes on sunday), is it a bad idea to ski with music.  It makes me so much more relaxed and i ski much better, but is it dangerous?...ie I cant hear the avalanche rushing behind me.  Does anyone on here do it?

Personally I think this is probably the worst idea ever. I LOVE listening to music when I ski (I bring my ipod every time I go riding) but I live on the tiny E.C. If I were shredding epic B.C. lines there is NO WAY IN HELL I'd even think about wearing headphones with music. This is a really bad idea. Even if its quiet. That is, unless you have the new Iphone, which can now interrupt your music when the Iphone detects loose snow below your feet.

I heard it is also functions as an avalanche beacon too, so you can continute surfing the internet & listening to music while you wait to be dug out.

well, fist off you should be aware of your surroundings at all times, so having music problee will just hinder that ability.
second, dont be such a pussy!

at least if lightning struck you while you were doing it you might be saved cuz of the headphones.

Probably not the best idea... IMO no.

Maybe listen to some before hand, or while hiking. But conversation while hiking's always better
