Best snow music in games
- Thread starter georly
- Start date
Ooo I forgot about this little gem from Xenoblade - it has a vaguely Fargo-esque feel to it.
The variation for nighttime is also pretty good.

Snowboard Kids has a ton of great music, and is obviously mostly snow related, so I'll go with these two:

Some from Sonic games that I particularly love, besides Icecap that was already mentioned:
Diamond Dust Act 1 - Sonic 3D Blast
Diamond Dust Act 2
Frozen Factory Act 1 - Sonic Lost World
Cool Edge Night - Sonic Unleashed
Diamond Dust Act 1 - Sonic 3D Blast
Diamond Dust Act 2
Frozen Factory Act 1 - Sonic Lost World
Cool Edge Night - Sonic Unleashed
the nighttime theme was probably my favorite area song in the game. Such a cool looking and atmospheric area.
I just saw the other posts, Diddy Kong Racing and Banjo <3
Here's another: Rayman 3 - The Summit Above The Clouds

Has no one mentioned Skyrim yet? Just about everything from that game, but especially Streets of Whiterun.
I used to walk across campus in college on snowy days with that in my ears.

I'm partial to The Sparkling Ice of Rosen from Magic Knight Rayearth (SEGA Saturn):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1l1JFCqPm8&list=PL08C0BE429B3216CD&index=17
I stopped playing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time long enough to pick-up my reserved copy of the game and knock it out before returning to Zelda. I remember one night while playing the MKR it started snowing outside just as I entered Rosen. The music has stayed with me ever since.
Tibetan Foothills from Tomb Raider II as well:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biQ5vXGuiFA
Whenever I walk between my house and my parents' house in the evenings to pick up my children after work, if it's cold and windy outside, it sounds exactly like this, heh.

Ice country music, "A Wish," from secret of mana is the first thing that comes to mind.
What else you got for me? (If you can, please provide a link, otherwise title of song and game it comes from will suffice.)
Wow, that was the first that came to mind for me, too.

That's a good one too. But I like the actual winter theme for winter in FFX:

Came for this.
A lot of good ones have already been mentioned. I'd like to add Harvest moon: Friends of Mineral Town's winter theme:

It's kind of somber but sort of fits the mood of the game.

So, with the snowpocalypse ahead of me (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1172231), it looks like I'm going to be buried under four feet of snow:
To get me into the snowy mood, I just wanted to know what you guys thought was the best music in games associated with snow or snowy areas?
Ice country music, "A Wish," from secret of mana is the first thing that comes to mind.
What else you got for me? (If you can, please provide a link, otherwise title of song and game it comes from will suffice.)
Pfft... haha n_n
That ain't nothing for snow.
You should come visit good old Winterpeg.

Awesome idea for a thread. A few missing notables:
Donkey Kong Country: Snow Mountain (The level where it starts snowing progressively harder.)
Goldeneye 64: Severnaya

As others have posted Snowball park in Super Mario 3d world is great.
Edit: Can't believe I forgot to mention snowman from Earthbound.

It's the highest, on-record snow accumulation for the area since before my grandparents were even born, so, it's a lot for me.
World of Warcraft - Night Mountain
Can't remember if it played in non-snow areas, but one of my oldest memories of playing WoW was hearing this music in Dun Morogh.

Blizzard Wolfang's stage from Mega Man X6 is really nice. If only that game's level design were nearly as good as its soundtrack.
On the other hand, if you want something more EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEME, you can take Blizzard Peaks from Sonic Rush Adventure (remixed for Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics). It's RADICOOL, DUDE!!

Sylvalum (night) from Xenoblade Chronicles X is pretty great for a more recent example
First thing that came to my mind, not very traditional but very, very cool. Adds so much atmosphere to the level!

But Sylvanum isn't snow. It's more like pollen. For example the blizzard like weather condition is actually called spores
Dust: An Elysian Tail - The Blackmoor Mountains
Not only an amazing snow song, but just a beautiful, dynamic, and captivating track all together.

Since the Earthbound / Mother winter themes were already posted I'll give out some lesser known, but still great themes.
