Does anyone know the chart for setting the DIN bindings? My local ski shop charge me if I want to change the setting on my bindings. I don't know what number should it be like 4,5,or 6

Any help would very much appreciate

 
Seeing how I just got fired from my ski shop, I can't help you, but your going to need to tell people your boot sole length and skier type too(I, II, III, III+) to get the right setting.

 
audi...nice taste ^^^^^ (guy above me)

how good a skier are you?? If your a rank beginner set it real low around 3 or lower, intermediate 4-5, advanced 6-8, expert 9-10

Anything above ten is intended for racers, jibbers hucking more than 1440 and for the elite skiers who can't afford to lose a ski ie: heli skiing

Between 4.25 and 6, depending on your skier type and bootsole length, according to the Marker DIN chart @http://www.terrymorse.com/ski/din.html. But don't take my word for it, check it out yourself. Changing your DIN setting when you don't know what you're doing can lead to hurting yourself, so be careful.

 
Thanks for all the repies! My skier type is III and I'm starting to learn some tricks, jumps, spins so I just want to make sure it doens't fall off when I land

 
When the day comes that you want to start learning rails, turn the DIN down some. Believe me, it will make your learning experience much less painful if your skis come off when you fall off a rail.

Go Big or go home. Life isn't a dress rehearsal, it's opening night.
 
i wont ski on a ski if its under 12, buts thats just me.

Assuming you have an average size foot for someone your size, you'll want about a 5 in the toe and a 5.5 in the heel. What kind of bindings do you have? They all adjust differently. I generally suggest people just get their skis tuned when they change DIN settings, because it's probably been a while since they have been tuned. Your local shop should offer a tune/adjustment for about 30 bones, and that way you're SURE you're safe. Having a DIN too high is much worse than having it too low.

factory settings are designed to cover the company's ass. if you ski hard and are doin pipe or jumps you will probably need to crank em a little

I am not doing the grabs because I am getting a thrill out of touching my ski-JP Auclair
