Stomp mat
 

Can anyone inform me what the stomp mat that comes with new snowboards is
for?

Thank you.

You want to put your back foot (the "free" one that is not strapped down to
the snowboard) on the stomp pad when you are getting off the chair lift, the
pad just adds traction between your wet boots and the board so you could
steer free of other skiers and etc when getting off the lift. I dont have
one cuz I think it's tacky and it covers up the graphics on the board, but
I've gotten pretty good steering without having the stomp pad.

when i keeping both feet in the bindings when dismounting the lifts!

How do you keep from banging your board into everyone else on the chair?

They can be handy for steering on drag lifts too.

I do too, but you're not the guy who keeps both feet in the bindings. :-)

How does HE do it?

You'd get slapped wrists for this in many resorts in Europe.

It's so much less painful to have proper control when getting off the lift with both feet in straps. To stop the board bashing others on the chair lift just use both legs to move the board away!
Easy. Non?

Thanks for all your input. I suspected it was for something like this. Now
I just have to decide if I want to deface my sweet new board with the
mat....
