Kind of a follow up to my other thread:. Got rental skis. They said I could bring them by for any adjustments I might need.
Curious, how do you know when DIN settings are too low and may need to adjust up? Does it only have to do with when the ski releases from your boot? I've only been out twice on these and they seem to work fine.
The setting is at 5.5. I'm about 5'9 165. I described myself to them as a low level intermediate wanting to improve and being able to handle more challenging slopes.
I know it's all relative to where you are as far as blue or black diamonds, but already I've done some trails that last year I found too steep or intimidating. I followed my fearless 9 year old down one of our single black diamonds - the first time I've ever tried it and handled it pretty well.
So I was thinking maybe I'm skiing more aggressively than the I told the guys I would at the shop and maybe should get the DIN set a notch higher or is it irrelevant and just pertains to the skis coming off when you land on your butt?
One more thing about my size - I have lost about 30-35 pounds since last year if that has to do with skiing better maybe than I expected.
