Are you allowed to wear headphones while skiing/snowboarding?

[Mo0o]

Ive been thinking of bringing my mp3 player to snowboarding /w me but ive noticed that ive never seen anyone do this. is there a rule that says you're not allowed?

 

[kami333]

It's pretty unsafe. I only use them on the lifts.

I would just wear it in one ear so i can still hear

who's going to stop you? just decide for yourself if it's worth the risks and.... yeah...

seems pretty dangerous, just dont expect sympathy if something happens

Well assuming there IS a rule im guessing the people at the ski parks will

Great Idea

Initial reports said the siren and light were on and that Stamp was wearing headphones.

They are not disallowed on any hill I know of, but wearing them is a very bad idea.

They have helmets with built-in speakers. So I reckon you can wear them, but you should also use common sense -- don't play your music too loud that you can't hear other noises, etc...

I don't believe it is against the rules, but it is a dumb idea.

other than the fact you'll look like a DORK! Lol I can just picture some guy barreling down the mountain with a pair of huge cans on.

Wear earbuds and keep one of them off. That's what I usually do.

i want to go snowboarding-never been and everyone tells me its so much fun!

It's not really that dangerous depending on the conditions. I used to take a CD MP3 player and some earbuds with me when I weant. I would fire up some hard trance and bomb down the mountain...hehe.

ugh trance? Nothing like Rock and or Roll while your cruising!

 

[RaDragon]

I've seen a few snowboarders who pop-in the earbuds after they've strapped in their bindings -- and my sis has a Giro helmet with Tune-Ups, so I suppose for some, it helps having "theme music" while snowboarding

Quick question to those who have snowboard or skis.

Hey...I didn't say that was all I listened too...everyone is different. Also, I did say hard trance...not the airy vocal stuff when skiing...

next time, throw Flight of the Valkyries into the mix. Makes for an awesome experience, especially when your about to hit a killer jump

Saw some people at the slopes on Thursday wearing headphones. So what? If its unsafe, should deaf people not be allowed to ski?

yes you can.. but suggested only if you have good board control.
