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 :-)

Adjusting rental bindings forward to match the skier
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

My 11yo daughter (who is 5 foot 5 tall and definitely growing up) was sliding her turns and getting tired out. No amount of encouragement to get forward to turn made any difference to the result. So on the penultimate day of our half term week holiday we moved her rental ski rail binding forward precisely 1 notch forward. Suddenly we had much less snow flying out from the back of the skis, much less moaning about turning being difficult and fewer issues skiing around the bumps. She doesn’t appear, to me, to be the crouch-down bum-back skier that might have weight backwards. She does ski with a reasonably upright stance.

Did I do the right thing moving the binding forward?

Women's skis can have the binding a little more forward to allow for female physiology (Centre of gravity lower down and further back)....so I suppose it depends whether this was the case with the hired skis - but somehow, I doubt it.

I suspect you have probably adjusted the bindings in a way that is helpful....but I am no expert.

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

Did this adjustment as had read on here about differences. Had wondered but was and remain unsure what 1 notch adjustment should make such a big difference.

The lower back and lower down point actually makes sense as my daughter has inherited her mother’s figure…
