ABSTRACT:
A device is provided for supporting at least part of the weight of a snowboard on a boot of a snowboarder while sitting in a chairlift having no footrest, the snowboard having a boot binding for receiving and securing the boot onto the snowboard, where the device includes an elongated support member having a central portion, and fasteners at both ends, one for joining to the boot, and the other for joining to the boot binding so that the elongated support member is operable to transfer at least a portion of the weight on the boot binding to the boot. Other techniques are described that incorporate the foregoing back foot support device directly into the boot binding, by, for example, the boot binding manufacturer.
