"Dorothy Mode"

My kids and I have a suggestion concerning the audio feedback on the chair lift. It seems inevitable that the feedback comes precisely when someone is talking to me. I’d like to be in control of when I get the tip. We thought it would be reasonably easy to create “Dorothy Mode”: Tap your foot (or jerk it up and down) three times and then you get the tip.

It basically puts you in control of when you get to hear the tip up until when you start skiing the next lap. What do you think?
