So I have a school project and I am going to create a company. Obviously I need something to offer, and Ill try to create something new. The best way is to that is to change something that annoys you, and I do want it ski related.
So what grinds your gears while skiing NS?
Ideas are welcome too

people that estimate/measure drops on an angle rather than straight up and down to get extra size.

everyone knows its length times diameter plus weight over girth divded by angle of the tip squared

invent/manufacture magical ski edges that slide rails just like any dulled down park ski, but can also carve a decent turn in hard packed snow like a sharpened race ski.

just detune your underfoot edges and leave the contact points with the snow sharp?

Or a helmet that has something to hook the goggle strap into on the inside which would get rid of the gap

THIS

Also if you could create something that would instantly make a snowboarder catch an edge, that would be cool..

Haha first time this happened i was mindfucked for a while...

what REALLY grinds my gear is fucking gloves that have the inside pull out when you take them off (happens after a season at least). And no i don't like mittens.

Ok serious response...

The #1 thing that really grinds my gears is when parents let their little kids fuck around in the biggest parks on the mountain. This happens a lot on the east coast on smaller mountains. Its seriously irresponsible and pisses me off to no end. All i can think of if what would happen if i hit some little 8 year old making a snow angel on the landing of a 30 footer. Last year i almost came to blows with some 40 year old dude over it.
