first off, OP i love your icon, we should talk about how awesome '][' is some time
second, just pick up a pair of sports buds from any store, the kind with a loop that goes behind your ear. You never know when you might break them skiing, so the $10 ones at walmart are the best choice I have found.

I like to still be able to hear people so I used JVC gummy earbuds (cheapest ones) they come in colours too.

T9 for life! There was just an article on them in snowboard mag i think, all about the gnarly spots they hit.
Anyways, thanks for the input everyone, i'll do some more research and see whats up. I'm not worried about breaking them, and if they stay in my ear, then i'm happy.
Also, any types that give good sound quality but still allow you to hear other stuff? Cause i hate having to take out an earbud to hear people. It's a tough tradeoff, but i'm sure there has to be something out there.

skullcandy asym
the wire loops over your ear in order for the earbud to go in correctly so if they do fall out of the ear, they won't fall down. also, when they are in your ears, they are flat so your beanie and goggle strap doesn't shove them into your ears cause all that pain.
$30 from skullcandy http://www.skullcandy.com/shop/earphones-earbuds/asym.html (or just google them, probably pretty easy to find a better price)
ive owned mine for about a year and they are the only skullcandy headphones other than my icons that have zero problems. they did something right with these.

It's actually a tough decision for me. Ear buds that can actually go in my ears, but not hear people as well, or icon 2s that can't fit under my helmet, but can hear people.

I came in here to post this. Really good headphone for under hats/helmets.
On a related note, don't wear earbuds. As someone that works for a ski resort, I hate people that are oblivious to the rest of the world because of their music. If you want to listen to music, just throw some icons around your neck
