We are conducting research on snowboard / skiing convenience on the mountain and engineering a product that will make everyone's life easier by putting an end to skiers waiting for their snowboard friends while they fasten their bindings.

Why the question of whether snowboarders are better than skiers? The survey does not have anything to do with that. Are you just trying to get people to look at your thread.

The're are flow bindings, sure, but they have the tendency to be very difficult to take off whilst sitting down on the snow. My group aims to make a binding that provides the ease of use of a nice standard binding with the speed of a flow binding.

Where? Not in big mountains they don't. If you mean in the park/urban world and off of backcountry kickers, then I would agree. The sport is about a whole lot more than those disciplines.

Ski's are tools. Snowboards are toys. Thats the difference.
