i dont know if this helps, but have you tried doing it switch? i know its awkward, butit beats loosing $450 if they wont let you do it! riding switch might help becauseyou would keep your injured knee straight and the good one can flop around asneeded to load in the lift line.my home resort, you can not under any circumstances ride the lift without ski's ora snowboard. one of the operators i met last year doesnt even ski or snowboardand they make him carry one so he can load and unload safely. but its moreof an ice issue down here. theres no way you could get off a lift in indiana withboots, you'd automatically fall. its hardpack ice ahhaha. god i love indiana.
