Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

The last time I skiied (2 years ago) my settigns were perfect, they rarely released (even when falling) except in a very nasty situation. Trouble is, since the last time I skiied I've put on 2 stone and I'm already a founding member of the Big Girl's Club. It's currently on 7, should I up it a notch?

Alexandra, my advice would be no, but the next time you are getting the skis serviced in a shop, bring in a boot, and get them to reset them. Several on here will disagree with me, and just tell you to turn them up.

I agree with WTFH, as the shop will be "qualified" to change the setting. therefore you will never have any problem with an insurance company should the worst happen. You could jus wind them up, but in theory you should have them torque tested at the same time. Get them to give you a receipt for the service, stating the bindings have been checked.

A more general point/question for the masses..... Who winds down their DINs on bindings they won't be using for a few months? Not many I bet.

This has a dual purpose, ie the spring is less stressed, and hence does not "age" as quickly. The second is that by unscrewing/screwing the spring you are ensuring the spring actually moves, and has not seized up.

paulhothersall,

I was always told to do that, and since it sounds logical to me, I would still do that.

Thanks lads, my skis need a bl**dy good service anyway so that's the first thing I'll be doing once I reach the resort, they can sort them out... I'll just have to face the shame of writing my weight down on a piece of paper... although I must confess int he past I've refused to write it - I've simply whispered it to the service-jockey...
