SKIER TYPES
Your skier type, height, weight, age and ski boot sole length are used by the rental shop to determine the release/retention of your ski bindings. Be sure to provide accurate information; any error may increase your risk of injury.
- Ski conservatively
- Prefer slower speeds
- Prefer easy, moderate slopes
- Favor lower than average release/retention settings. This corresponds to an increased risk of Inadvertent binding release in order to gain increased releasabilty in a fall
- Type I settings apply to "entry level Skiers uncertain of their classification"
- Ski moderately
- Prefer a variety of speeds
- Ski on varied terrain, including most difficult trails
- Are all skiers who do not meet the descriptions of either Type I or Type III
- Ski aggressively
- Normally ski at high speeds
- Prefer steeper and more challenging terrain
- Favor higher than average release/retention settings. This corresponds to decreased releasability in a fall in order to gain a decreased risk of inadvertent binding release
