Replying to NS Brain Trust

I've got my senior seminar class starting this week, I need to design and build something to take it as far as I can in 10 weeks (length of the semester). I'd like to have it do with skiing so I don't have a boring ass project to work on all semester. I have some ideas such as redesigning the pole basket to make it easier to get out of the binding or a chair lift trash can to cut down on littering. Throw me a freakin bone here and lemme know what product interfaces annoy you what you think needs changing it would be greatly appreciated.
