The kid got to close top shack and ski down at the end of his shift- had the whole hill to himself. Can’t bother to throw us oldsters a bone with a short account of his run. SMH

I would have tried to kick those skis off. Still it looked like a relatively soft landing.

Facts matter, bro. That mall is in New Jersey

Definitely. The edges have to be the biggest hazard there. Of course trying to kick them off might have caused the dangler to lose his/her grip and maybe rotate into a more dangerous attitude. Junior tells me that they taught him not to try and catch somebody

I don’t think I could kick my shoes off while dangling like that. Maybe if your din is set on 3-8.

Can you kick off tele bindings?

Can you kick off tele bindings?

No.

This shows my inexperience with alpine bindings. I never wore a pair.

I thought maybe you could take one ski and bang it against the heel thingie. ?
