Can you just put your foot into the bindings and get off the ski lift?

Question

Can you just put your rear foot into the bindings to get off the ski lift, because I have flow bindings so its so much easier to get my foot in and out, so I don't have to buy a stomp pad?

Answer 1

Yes you can, in fact a lot of people that have step-in bindings, Flow bindings, and other quick entry types do this all the time. I do it sometimes if there is nobody else on the chair with me.

The only bad thing I can think of is that you may not be able to avoid a flopped skier or boarder that fell off the lift when exiting right in front of you, but being careful and watching ahead would prevent that.

Good Luck

Answer 2

Go for it. Or, just put your foot where the stomp pad would normally be. My boots are different from most boots, so a stomp pad does nothing for me.

Answer 3

That sounds cool if you can do it. But remember, that takes away your ability to skate. (If needed once getting off the lift)
