Colorado ski and golf is not good at binding skis.

I brought my skis into colorado ski and golf at the end of the summer and asked them to fit my bindings to my boots. And I came back the next day and they seemed fine. So like two months later it was the first day at A-basin and I got into my skis at leaned forward and automatically I just popped out. Even if I just barely landed more forward on my tips I would pop out. So the next day I tightened myself, I looked at my DIN and It was at 2. Has this happened to anyone else?
 
actually they probably did you a favor at first, over the summer it is best to loosen your din to put less strain on the spring, so thats probably why they did it, and its best to make sure everything is set right when you pick them up from being mounted and on your first day out
 
I tightened after that but no the thing is all my settings on everything were the same when I brought em in and when they came out
 
i used to work at a colorado ski and golf and can speak for them for the most part, first off it wasnt an error, if it was early/mid summer w/ a few more months to the ski season they usually dont tighten the binding to your recommended spot because its worthless to put the spring's through pressure for a few months prior to the ski season, chances are you probably were'nt listening when they were telling you why they did it. Last year i would go through any tune, fix, or mount with a customer they were often off in another world not listening to why we did what we did, and were trying to act like they were some bad ass skier, and were to dense to listen to us, and often thought they knew more than the employees(most w/ prior work as reps, or at other shops in the ski industry)(colorado springs store). And in the nicest way possible that was probably the case, because you were'nt smart enough yourself to check your bindings before you went out, let alone after they mounted it, which i know i do sub conciously to always crank mine up. I'm not completely saying thats the case, because there are idiots at every ski shop, but i'm just speaking from my experience of working there.
 
My issue with Colorado ski and golf is the people i have talked to don't know anything about skiis. They told me the ARV was the perfect powder/crud ski. Then I said "isnt it too soft for crud" and he was like oh yea crud well go here and showed me some random ass head ski or something. Then I asked them about backcountry jumping and he was like "whatever is wide is good." And this has happened with multiple sales people. Plus they don't carry line. They say Armada fills that gap. Well I don't think they do. They also dont carry any other skiis like 4frnt. They only carry big names like rossy, dynastar, etc. (besides armada). Thats why you go to jibij.
 
jibij is good, but there is a reason they carry those, there are more people not on twins than people on them. And armada has proven themselves, notice after 12 years line still has difficulties doing business? And SSV the company that owns Ski and Golf actually does carry 4frnts in some of the mtn stores.
