Selecting your skier type is your responsibility.

Your skier type, height, weight, age and ski boot sole length are used by the shop technician to determine the release/retention settings of your ski bindings.  It is important to provide accurate information. Inaccurate information may increase your risk of injury.  

Consult the following descriptions to select your Skier Type.

Type I: Ski Cautiously

• Prefer slower speeds.
• Prefer cautious skiing on smooth slopes of gentle to moderate pitch.
• Favor lower than average release/retention settings.
• Prefer an increased risk of inadvertent binding release in order to gain releasability in a fall
• Entry-level skiers uncertain of their classification.

• Prefer a variety of speeds.
• Prefer to ski on varied terrain.
• Skiers not classified as either Type I or Type III.
• Favor average release/rentention settings appropriate for more recreational skiing.

• Normally ski at faster speeds.
• Prefer fast and aggressive skiing on slopes of moderate to steep pitch.
• Prefer higher than average release/retention settings.
• Prefer decreased releasability in a fall in order to gain a decreased risk of inadvertent binding release.
