Yeah, skis pop off when things go sideways to prevent… your leg from going sideways, but snowboards are strapped onto your feet pretty solidly, which is just as well since it’s good for your legs to be locked into the position of “approximately next to each other”.

Many a time I (a skiier) have stood around waiting for my snowboarding brother-in-law to painstakingly disconnect his feet from his snowboard so we can both walk.

I know John did a lot of research to make this chapter (and it shows! The skiing and snowboarding looks good! As does the lodge environment), but I don’t know if that means he particularly doesn’t or particularly does want to hear about something like this (which hitches the eye of someone familiar with the subject but obviously don’t with most people). Apologies if it’s unwelcome!
