DETERMINING
YOUR SKIER TYPE IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!
Before we can service your equipment, you must classify yourself
for skier type. Your skier type, height, weight, age and ski boot
sole length are used by the shop to determine the release/retention
settings of your ski bindings. Be sure to provide accurate information;
any error may increase your risk of injury. Consult these descriptions
to select your classification.
|
| TYPE 1
SKIERS |
"Cautious
skiing at lighter release/retention settings"
|
| • |
ski conservatively |
| • |
prefer slower speeds |
| • |
favor lower than
average retention/release settings. this corresponds to an
increased risk of inadvertent biniding release in order to
gain increased releasability in a fall |
| • |
TYPE I settings apply
to "entry-level skiers uncertain of their classification"
|
|
| TYPE 2
SKIERS |
"Moderate
skiing at average release/retention settings"
|
| • |
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 II or III
 |
|
| TYPE 3
SKIERS |
"Aggressive
skiing at higher release/retention settings"
|
| • |
ski aggressively |
| • |
normally ski at high
speeds |
| • |
prefer steeper and
more challenging terrain |
| • |
this corresponds
to decreased releasability in a fall in order to gain a decreased
risk of inadvertent binding release
