damn tow rope in the park, tears my gloves open. Does anyone else dislike tow ropse? they make my hands hurt after a long time and boarders look at you like a piussy cuase it is harder to grip on to it when you have poles too. but yeha good for ma,ing fast laps thorough the park i guess. what do you guys do with your poles when you are on it? sometimes i stick them under my arm and hold them like that makes it a bit easier

at least you have a tow rope for your park. I dont use the bunny slope tow rope very often so I dont see any changes in my gloves.

uh...we have one, but it is up a slope, but sometimes that doesn't work so you have to hike the slope.

yah. my mountain has a tow rope for the bunny hill and a courtesy one for getting up this really gay hill. my gloves get torn from it. you could get ur mom to sew something on ur glove. that might work.

Hey...The hill i've been at is pretty much a big terrain park with a slope. I would go insane if i had to get on a chairlift to go up 100 vertical feet. I love the tow rope! I mean it has it's downsides, such as gettin tired of grabbing it. BUT, it gets you up really fast, and it's a whole new place to try tricks...wink wink. Also, to the dudes who have been gettin their gloves ripped to shreds, where i am they sell glove protectors behind the counter. its just this leather thing with velcro taht goes around your glove/mitt. its really easy and you don't even know it's there. plus, some of them make your gloves look really stylin
