music and skiing go hand in hand. i've only found two songs that are specifically about skiing/winter, just like all those songs that talk about memories from summer, these bring memories to my (and hopefully yours) favorite season.

Luckie St. -Cartel
Couple of Friends- Bryon Friedman

both are great songs about winter/skiing, know anything else that can pump me up for the upcoming season?

 There's some good skiing songs written by some local musicians I know.

Toad the Wet Sprocket is a ski band...

"My Feet are Smiling," (1973) by Leo Kottke, a truly great acoustic guitarist who plays a lot of ski towns. He'll be in Bozeman at the Emerson October 20, 2009. I think he must be a skier to say, my feet are smiling.

There's a PSIA Ed. Staff member in the East (I hate name dropping to no name given) that has ski parody band.  They do a whole bunch of rock standards with the lyrics changed to be about skiing.  Kinda like Weird Al Yankovich of skiing.  Saw them plan at a bar at K-mart a few years ago.  They really are riot.  I believe they are not actively playing right now but at one point they did put out a CD.

The German speaking countries have a very wide selection of Apres Ski music.

Many of the songs include traditional tyrolean types of instrumentation and themes - but generally played with a pop or techno style.

I particularly like 10 Little Jaegermeisters.

You can sample alot of ski songs by searching the German language Amazon - Amazon.de - search for apres hits.  You will get ALOT of them - like these, for example:
http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_ss_3_9?__mk_de_DE=%C5M%C5Z%D5%D1&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=apres+ski+hits&sprefix=apres+ski
