I love that you’re so relaxed about losing a ski that you can stop to take photos!

I wasn’t very relaxed when the ski went careering down the hill!!!
@Spyderjon both set on 5 by shop. I had seen it and meant to change them but forgot.... now set on 9 but one came off again today on an icy sidestep where I was banging my skis into the slope to get an edge. Not entirely convinced by these bindings!

Before @KenX, says it, I had an off as well yesterday with my ski going down the hill without me 
Was in ascent mode and snow-pack not at all soft and I was in a somewhat precarious position and midst kick-turn, all my pressure on my downhill ski and I gave quite a violent kick to snap the new uphill ski around, so much so that the ski pinged off and rolled down the icy slope, luckily coming to rest in a small bush 15m below me.
Was a very tough ascent as we screwed up on the ascent and ended up on hard frozen NW slope traversing across, me without crampons, and it was very technical at times, so much so that I was the one out the back 
And the descent was no better, just so damn cold and snow had not done it's thing, three days before the same slopes were lovely
And all credit to my OH who tackled the ascent well, and put up with the shite snow on the descent.
And then just as we arrive back at the van, a classic "oh shite moment"

To be fair even with my limited DIY skills, changing the DIN’s is a 30 second job!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

@BobinCH, what is it with shops changing DINs to a random number and then not mentioning it?! I got mine back set to 4, but luckily I checked before I busted my shoulder again

You know it makes sense.

@BobinCH, the mismatched poles?!

I don't understand it either, I mean it's not as if us Brits ever overstate our skiing ability or have more tackle than talent.

@Scarlet,
I wouldn't worry about it too much, they would probably set Dave Ryding's DIN to 5.

@DB, “move down a line in the chart for intermediate level, and two lines for expert level. Move up two lines if British.” ?!

Sounds plausible although I've always suspected there was a special line on chart for "Apres Ski Inselaffe".
