Binding Adjustment
We provide expert ski and snowboard binding installation and adjustment.
Safety is our top priority, therefore, we strongly recommend to leave it in the hands of experts.
- ski binding adjustment must be based on the skiers weight, age, height, boot size and skill level. Based on this information we determine the required DIN* number and adjust the safe release level of the ski binding. A HIGH DIN setting will prevent the ski binding to release in case of an impact while with a LOW DIN setting the binding can unexpectedly release the ski boot. In conclusion, to reduce the risk of injury a proper setting is mandatory. Furthermore, the binding has to be adjusted for the boot length, assuring the ideal forward pressure. Some bindings also allow for toe "clearance" adjustment, to avoid wedging the boot under the front part of the binding.
*DIN stands for the German Standard, and is the industry-adopted scale of release force settings for ski bindings
- snowboard binding adjustment is based on riding style and fine tuned by the boarder himself if he feels comfortable with adjustments.
We offer guidance in determining what is the best for each rider: REGULAR or GOOFY, we determine STANCE WIDTH and SETBACK (offset), BINDING ANGLES for FORWARD STANCE and DUCK STANCE
