The Ultimate Playlist Assortment for Every Minute of Your Ski Day

The vibes are vibing—as they should be.

There is literally nothing like a good playlist when it comes to traveling, and ski trips especially are appropriately accentuated by the right mix. There’s something about music that adds a unique crispness to the already effusive mountain energy—a heightened sense of excitement and playfulness that feels both nostalgic and prescient. If our optimism is showing, we’re not mad about it. We’re the brand that famously wears our hearts on our sleeves. But today we’re bearing it all for you—good vibes, that is—with a specially curated selection of our most favorite playlists for on and off the slopes.  

The Trip There 

Whether you’re local to your favorite mountain or are traveling far and wide to get there, there’s always some type of trek involved. It doesn’t matter if you’re riding solo or have a small army of friends loaded in your car to get to base, music is key to setting the tone to a fun-filled day ahead. And when you’re ready to feel the hype, this is the pre-shred mix that’s going to get you there. 

For the Ride 

Picture this: you just got off the lift and are ready to clip in. But the great descent needs a great mixtape. The proverbial wind in your sails is this playlist, a high octave ode to flow, a mood-setting beat selection that will keep you moving all the way down. Get to the bottom, and hit repeat. As Bowie would say, “Let’s Dance.” 

Apres Ski 

Post-mountain bliss starts with the right wind-down essentials. Enter: this après ski playlist, an upbeat mix that takes you on a journey toward relaxation (more on that later). Getting you there is the right blend of Depeche Mode, Big Country, and Tears For Fears—just to name a few. 

Cozy Cabin 

An evening in, preferably fireside, is the best way to end a long, cold day on the mountain. Whether your night looks like cooking dinner amongst family and friends, or enjoying a good book, this is the playlist you want on in the background. An iconic mix featuring The Cure, Fleetwood Mac, Tracy Chapman, among other classics, will ensure the vibe is right—all night long.
