Satriani is good, Currently in my Carving mix on my IPOD are Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, some Hard trance, Tracks from some Micro Tech Mixes, a bunch of indy Ska, Evanesence, Satriani, Husker Du, Hamerbox, Limp BizKit, Linkin Park and Medicine to name a few. I have found that mixxes that work for motorcycle riding also work well on the snow. Interestingly the Soundtrack to the new SSX3 video game has a soundtrack that sounds good for snow...Duh it was written for it...
