Killington was fun on Saturday. Got crowed from 11-12:30 and then the lines slacked way down. Ramshead had one ungroomed trail that had a thin cover sign at the top. It was by far the best run of the day. Bear had just opened and that had thin cover/snowmaking.

Nowhere now, but everywhere
Riding this lift today, it goes so fast, you are not on it long enough to need foot rests! Whatโ€™s it take, 4 minutes to get to the top? As a snowboarder, I have no complaints.
After being stuck on the Jordan 8 for about 20 minutes yesterday at Sunday River, I have changed my mind about these triangular foot rests. They suck. And if a full chair, completely unusable for a snowboarder. The short ride on Superstar not a big deal unless itโ€™s windy out. A snowboard catches the wind like a sail and torques the hell out of your knee if you canโ€™t use the foot rest.

It can be tough with a full chair, but try putting your heal side edge on one side of the triangle. If regular foot, put heal edge on the right side of the triangle and then clock the nose left or right to find the sweet spot. I hate those footrests but this method usually works out for me.

Iโ€™m goofy footed, I always try to sit on the left most side and just like u mention all I need to do is lift my heal and rest it on whatever. If I need to have my body facing left slightly itโ€™s no big deal.
