    Binding release value question

    Hi. This goes out to all the folks out there who have experience testing bindings and release values. How common is it that a binding/boot system will produce release values other than that at which the bindings are set? For example, say one sets the release value to "7." How common is it...

    Binding question

    I have Marker Barons on some ON3P Wren 102s that are about 3 years old. At the end of last season, I think I noticed some play between the boot and binding. On the lift, if I would swing the ski back and forth to the side, there would be a little movement. Also, when doing short tours, there...

    binding position

    When the binding is set for the correct sole length the center mark on the boot is 25mm forward of the mark on the ski. Even moving the binding all the way to the rear of its travel the centerline is forward by about 5mm. Looks like the binding is mounted too far forward. Skis are Kastle FX85...

    I have a Marker Barons on my skis and have noticed some mild squeaking when skiing this year, especially on soft snow. It also could be my boots but I’m not sure. The boot / binding interface seems tight and snug when I check it. Is this something to be concerned about? Is there annual...

    Stepping out of bindings

    Looking over another thread, I got to thinking about how most skiers get out of their bindings. That is, when they want to, like at the end of the day or to get into a gondi. I suppose there is a right way, a wrong way, a cool way, and a fast way.
