Abstract:
A snowboard bench and a method of using the same. The snowboard bench includes a footboard assembly and a backrest spaced a distance away from the footboard assembly. The footboard assembly includes a substantially horizontally-oriented platform and at least one ramp angling downwardly to the snow surface upon which the bench stands. A footboard extends outwardly away from the platform and is oriented at an angle relative to the platform. The snowboard bench may be positioned proximate a top of a chairlift. A snowboarder slides up a ramp and onto the platform with one foot strapped into a binding. They can hold onto provided handrails to steady themselves. The snowboarder may position their rear end against the backrest and place their snowboard on the angled footboard. Bending over they can strap their second foot into the snowboard's bindings and then slide down the ramp and back onto the snow.

Claim (Index 18):
A method of strapping on snowboard bindings or removing snowboard bindings comprising:\n strapping a snowboarder's first foot into a first binding on a snowboard while leaving the snowboarder's second foot free of a second binding on the snowboard; sliding, on the snowboard, up a first ramp of a snowboard bench and onto a horizontally oriented platform provided on the snowboard bench; resting the snowboarder's rear end against a backrest of the snowboard bench, where the backrest is oriented at a first angle relative to the platform; placing the snowboard onto a footboard of the snowboard bench, where the footboard is inclined at a second angle relative to the platform; bending over and strapping the snowboarder's second foot into the second binding on the snowboard; placing the snowboard back onto the platform; and sliding down a first ramp or down a second ramp of the snowboard bench with the snowboard and onto a snow surface upon which the snowboard bench rests.
