Ok, I have another ski tuning related question. If you have a new set bindings, and they're set-up for your boot sole length, and set to the correct DIN level for you, would you need to pay for a release check?

Ok, the circumstances surrounding the bindings are that I got a great deal online on some new skis. As part of the deal, the company I bought them from adjusted the binding to the BSL that you gave them at the time of ordering. The DIN happen to be set to the range I normally use. They also had a disclaimer (to protect their ass) to have a release check performed by a ski shop. My local shop would charge me $50 bucks for a binding mount and adjustment, which a release check would fall under. So, being tight on funds, I'm wondering, on a new set of Marker MX 12.0 bindings, if it's really needed. I'm thinking no. But was curious what a release check entails?

If I were u, I wouldn't worry about it. I would put the boot in the binding and make sure it is sitting right and make sure I could force the boot to release sideways at the toe by hand.
I would at least check the forward pressure, it's easy to do. For the Markers (AFAIK) you should be checking that the adjustment screw on the heel (not for the DIN, to move the heel piece) is flush with the back of the heel piece with the boot installed. You'll see that the screw sticks out with no boot installed.
Nice, that's supposed to be a sweet ski.
