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