Does anybody else rip out a pair of brakes just about every week? How can I prevent this?

landing switch could be the reason you are ripping them out. FKS bindings wont have the breaks break, so they are your best bet. Leashes are an okay idea but check with your resort because most wont let you use them

What kind of bindings are you riding? Do you have XXL brakes on a narrower park ski causing them to catch the snow when you land switch?
