Into the Woods

One of the main reasons I enjoy ski films is the variety and quality of music chosen for their soundtracks. The music is great for skiing itself, but also provides a means to discover new bands that ClearChannel hopes you don’t know about. I usually find ways to get the soundtrack from the DVD onto my ipod and cell phone using various technical methods. However, many people don’t want the whole soundtrack or don’t own the DVD. skimoviemusic.com provides a careful listing of the songs found in ski movies complete with iTunes links. Previously, people had to search forums for only somewhat complete lists or struggle with the DVD fast forward and rewind functions to get the music info from the credits. Now there is one place to go. So far it only has data from the previous two seasons of films. Hopefully they will backdate. Perhaps they would benefit from a Wiki-style interface, and freeze it once the soundtrack is complete and verified. That way, they don’t have to do all the work themselves
