Ski binding settings

C'mon you know that's where this is going to go!
I usually fall in around an 8 on the DIN chart and then bump it up to 9 or 10. Seems to work for me.

I look at Bode Miller's DIN setting then add 2

Using the DIN calculations, age, weight, height and skier rating, I come out to a 6.5. Seems to work.

It sounds like your bindings are set correctly for your skiing. Have fun, but stay away from the trees, rocks and no-fall zones with those settings; a pre-release can put you in the hospital just as fast as a no release in some circumstances.

I answered the questions on the form the tech gave me. He set the din, and I left it alone. I like to think the pros know more about proper din settings than I do. But that's just me...!

^^^ I meant big rocks and cliffs, not snow coverage.

Your skis don't need to leave the ground to crack your head on big rock that no amount of snow coverage will cover.
Here: ( not that steep, or gnarly, you might find yourself in here playing around. A pre-release could send you into the wall head first )

If you told the tech you are an intermediate level skier, you probably aren't skiing here.
Non-issue.

And if you did then you deserve what's coming to you. The higher the DIN settings the better the skier as a general rule.

Hell, you bite it - whether your skis come off or not, you can do the same! As far as my settings, I roll with what the shop set them at. Has worked for me!

OP: "For me, I am absolutely honest in filling out the form and go for advanced or intermediate."
It's not that steep, if he's an advanced intermediate, he could ski it cautiously.

I have to agree with part of this. This Saturday while skiing with Savemeasammy at Mittersill I released for no apparent reason which led to quite the disaster in which one leg twisted and sunk into the snow. He had to pull me out while I was starting to see stars thinking my ankle was going to snap and my knee was going to pop. He really saved my ass. Given the fact my ski just released I will be upping my DIN and hoping my Schizos are still working properly.

Will give my shop a call. The calculator for Marker had me much higher than what they are currently set at.

Could also be caused by snow under the boot or not having your boot in the binding right as well.

Your lucky dude. I witnessed someone do something similar at Stowe a few years ago. I'm pretty confident the woman tore most of the ligaments in her knee.
Actually it was more likely caused by poor technique.
