 Poster: A snowHead

if people who rent skis regularly smash their feet in with the bindings closed, no wonder they're crappy. And no wonder hire prices are so high.

Just putting skis into bindings in a perfectly normal fashion, toes in first, then heels at back, but without having to open them.
I take the comments of the assembled company and if it ever happens again I shall take the skis back. |
It most certainly shouldn't be possible, because if you can do it, then the boot would just as easily come out again - you wouldn't really be clipped in at all.
The whole point of the way binding close, is that there is a lip over the tongue at the back of teh boot. You cannot get teh tongue under that lip if it is already in the closed position.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I think you'd be surprised how easy it is to clip into a closed binding. I see so many kids doing it, and no the ski doesn't pop off straight away. It happens, get over it!

I think you'd be surprised how easy it is to clip into a worn and badly adjusted, closed binding on a floppy beginners ski from a crappy rental outlet set to a low DIN

One of my all time favourites was not a question but watching out of the window of the chalet at a guy trying to put his skis on back to front. It seemed to go on forever. In the end I was just about to open the window to tell him when he finally noticed saving him any further embarrassment

My favourite was when a group of beginners got off the transfer bus, (which had to stop at the end of the road because there was too much snow for it to get to the chalet door) and, standing in knee deep snow asked 'Is there any snow?'.
I really liked that one!

We often get the opposite - pick people up in Bourg Saint Maurice (at 800m) in March and inevitably hear "Oh my God! There's no snow! Will we be able to do any skiing at all?".

Funniest thing I saw last week was a lady, after half a bottle of prosecco, attempting to clip in to her skis - whilst wearing a pair of Timberland boots...
