Claim:
A rider-operated, snow-sporting-equipment braking apparatus, permitting a rider to control a sporting equipment's terrestrial velocity, comprising: a brake bracket for attaching with a piece of snow-sporting-equipment; a deployable braking section attached with the brake bracket, thereby allowing pivotal movement relative to the brake bracket; a user-operated control operably attached with the deployable braking section; wherein the brake bracket is removably attached with the snow-sporting-equipment; wherein the brake bracket further comprises: two opposing sides, where each of the two opposing sides have a top portion and a bottom portion; and an adjustable fastener connecting the two opposing sides, whereby the brake bracket may be removably attached with a snow-sporting-equipment by: adjusting the adjustable fastener to bring the two opposing sides in such a position as to accommodate a width of the snow-sporting-equipment; and tightening the top portion with the bottom portion, thereby compressing an edge of the snow-sporting-equipment between the top portion and the bottom portion, whereby through user manipulation, the deployable braking section is actuated to control the snow-sporting-equipment's terrestrial velocity.
