      I’ve tried that. It does, but the worst part is being terrified that the skis are gonna break or a pole is going to bend the whole time

        Breaking skis is pretty difficult. Really hard to put enough load on them before the bindings click out.

          Well, FWIW, my sister who was 1 or two levels above me in skiing, managed to actually break a ski, without even doing anything particularly bold. When you say you are an expert skier they do tend to make the bindings pretty damn “hard” iirc.

          Now, skis poles ? I think most of them are hollow and bend when you look at them wrong

            Switched to boarding pretty early so probably never had the bindings set hard enough. But have broken a few boards since the bindings aren’t meant to come loose at all, unless you just rip them out of the threads or break the straps.
