Before we can service your equipment or prepare your ski rentals YOU MUST .... CLASSIFY YOURSELF for a skier type.

Determining your skier type is your responsibility!

Your skier type, height, weight, age and boot sole length are used by the ski 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
