Know Your Skier Profile

Posted by – October 25, 2009

When you acquire bindings, they should match your Skier Profile:

Juniors: Bindings for kids have lower release settings relative to adult bindings. They’re made primarily to handle kid-specific boots; however, you will find that some bindings work on adult sizes too.

Beginner and intermediate: You probably do not need the highest release setting or the lightest or most impact-resistant materials. Save a few bucks without compromising safety by looking into a lower-end to mid-range model. Please note that if you’re a bit of a fattie, you may want to look into a higher release setting and may need to purchase the next level of bindings.

Advanced: The aggressive skier. You are going to push it, and exponentially increase the likelihood of a big wipe-out, but anyway, you most likely will need a higher release setting. Light, bomber bindings made with titanium enhance your skiing at high speeds and on steep terrain.
