How to adjust ski binding length

First things first: you don't have to see a professional every time you want to adjust your ski binding. A little knowledge about the function of a ski binding provided, you can easily adjust it yourself.

How much can ski bindings be adjusted

What you need to understand is how the binding works, which DIN setting you need, and how to calculate it.

A ski binding has two main functions: on the one hand, it needs to fix the ski boot (and hence the skier) to the ski.

On the other, the binding needs to release under force or when you fall, and separate the boot from the ski in time to keep the skier from being injured.

Complex mechanics help to manage this balancing act. Not only do they have to function impeccably, they absolutely need to be adjusted correctly and individually.

According to a skier's bodyweight, boot sole length, age, and skiing ability, the release force setting, or DIN setting, determines when a binding releases.
