In order to set up your bindings correctly, we need to know the following information:

1. Skier weight
2. Skier height
3. Skier age
4. Skier type (see below)

Skier types (please read carefully)

Skier type does not have the same meaning as skier ability. For instance, an advanced skier who skis all-terrain, but is not particularly aggressive, may be able to use Type 2 settings.

Type 1-Minus

• Skiers looking for a lower release setting than type 1.
• Recommended for beginners over 25 years old.

Type 1

• Ski conservatively.
• Prefer slower speeds.
• Ski on easy to moderate slopes.
• Intermediate level, but not in good physical condition.
• Good skiers, smooth and supple style, emphasising safety.
• Favour lower than average release / retention settings.
• This corresponds to an increased risk of inadvertent binding release in order to gain increased release capacity in a fall.

Type 2

• Intermediate skiers in good physical condition.
• Prefer a variety of speeds.
• Ski on varied terrain, including most difficult trails.
• All skiers who do not meet all the descriptions of the other skier types.

Type 3

• Ski aggressively.
• Normally ski at high speed.
• Prefer moderate to steep terrain.
• Favour higher than average release / retention settings.
• This corresponds to decreased capability to release in a fall in order to decrease risk of inadvertent binding release.

Type 3-Plus

• Very strong skiers, on challenging terrain.
• Skiers looking for a higher release setting than type 3 skiers.
