We Do the Footrest

June 1, 2015 by braveskimom

A local friend of mine, who is friends with Lif’ Ticket, shared this.

You may recognize Telluride in the background. You’re sure to see yourself if you’re over 35 (sigh…)

Enjoy!

    Love seeing the graybeard with the snowboard on his feet. A photo bomb, of sorts? One thing I do notice when I put the skis back on my feet is, “Wow, these are heavy.” (Of course, benefits to skis come at other times of the mountain experience.)

    I’m surprised there’s no mention of knee problems in the video. Isn’t that a key reason why people use the foot rest?

      Knee problems? Oh my! I think you’re right, but let’s not speak of that! Cheers John! Hope you’re enjoying the summer!

    Don’t know which is worse – accused of being old or of being from the East when putting the foot rest down.

    Hah! That is true. We westerners are pretty sanguine about the “comfort bar.” No legal requirement to use it out here. As for age, my teens are appalled when I pull it down. Too bad.
