Who else prefers to ski to "softer" music?

Most of the people I know prefer to listen to rap, dubstep, rock or some pop when they ski. I like to listen to those as well, but when I'm skiing. When I ski I love listening to more instrumental guitar or piano, sometimes violin or fiddle as well. There is just something about listening to really calming beautifully music when you are skiing really aggressively of pushing your limits. So NS'ers how varied is your taste in music? If you can relate, please share what you like to shred to.
Sorry if this is a repost.

examples of what I listen to:

I'm the opposite, I generally like chiller music but when I'm skiing park something really aggressive hypes me up. I don't listen to music skiing a lot though so it doesnt really matter

when I'm skiing mountain I like listening to the Grateful Dead or ODESZA but I usually get more balls to try stuff in the park if I'm listening to something really upbeat

That stuff would make me fall asleep mid-air, so usually I need to listen to some beats.

I prefer to listen to either pre-recorded sounds of skis on snow or the titanic theme mixed with blood curdling screamo dubstep.

I have an oldies playlist that's my go-to when I'm skiing. No way you can be in a bad mood when skiing and listening to The Temptations or Frankie Valli

Usually a mixture of ODESZA/Tycho/Com Truise and then I'll throw in some math rock too, stuff like Strawberrygirls or CHON

I love both listening to and making music, but there's no way I could ski with headphones in.

If you need music to pump you up or help you enjoy skiing I think you're weak.

I ski with cheap Skullcandy headphones around my neck. I agree, I can't ski with anything in or on my ears. I like being able to hear what's going on around me.
