CLASSIFY YOURSELF for skier type.


Determining your skier type is your responsibility!

Your skier type, height, weight, age and boot sole length are used by the shop to determine the release/retention settings of your ski binding. Be sure to provide accurate information: any error may increase your risk of injury. Consult these description to select your classification.

TYPE I SKIERS

"Cautious Skiing at lighter release/retention settings"
* ski conservatively
* prefer slower speeds
* prefer easy, moderate slopes
* favor lower than average release/retention settings.
* this corresponds to an increased risk of inadvertent binding release in order to gain increased releasability in a fall
* Type 1 settings apply to "entry-level skiers uncertain of their classification"

TYPE II SKIERS
"moderate skiing at average release/retention settings"
* ski moderately
* prefer a variety of speeds
* ski on varied terrain, including most difficult trails
* are all skiers who do not meet all the descriptions of either Type I or Type II


TYPE III SKIERS

"aggressive skiing at higher release/retention settings"
* ski aggressively
* normally ski at high speeds
* prefer steeper and more challenging terrain
* favor higher than average release/retention settings
This corresponds to decreased releasability in a fall in order to gain a decreased risk of inadvertent bindings release
