Canadian freestyle skier Evan McEachran listens to rap music before big air jumps to get motivated, while Swiss skier Nils Rhyner opts for hardcore punk 'The Dog's Revenge' for that extra boost.
For McEachran, musical choices vary by event - he switches to soul music like Frank Ocean for slopestyle competitions to help with flow and focus. Many athletes consider their playlists as essential as their equipment, with some even carrying backup earphones.
