How to adjust your ski bindings?

Interface between the skier and his skis, the bindings play an essential role in comfort and protection. It is therefore essential to adjust your ski bindings in order to avoid the risk of injury or untimely disconnection.

Several criterias are to be taken into account for a correct set up: the skier's weight, the length of the sole of his boot and the profile of the skier.

 

Adjustment of length and pusher

To set up the length and thrust, first put the ski boot on the binding (don’t snap it in). The shoe must be properly engaged in the stop.

The second step is to release the locking system. To do this, insert a screwdriver to lift the tab and then turn.

Then slide the heel piece into its rail until it contacts the heel of the ski boot.

You will then be able to remove the screwdriver to gently tap the heel grip to check that the heel piece is properly notched.

Finally, snap the shoe into the binding to ensure that the adjustment has been made correctly. If this is the case, the end of the push indicator should be in the window on the side of the heel.

If this is not the case, move the heel piece forward or backward to obtain the correct setting.

Finally, put on and remove the shoe to make sure that the thrust mark has found its position.

 

Skier Settings

The adjustment of the ski binding, depending on the skier's parameters, requires several factors to be taken into account. To simplify the standard, the AFNOR ski table makes it possible to take account of the specificities of each, with precision.

First, you need to know the weight, size and length of the skier's boot sole in order to correctly adjust its bindings. You will then be able to refer to the table below:

 

 

Sole width in mm

If the weight and height are not on the same line, you must choose the highest line.

When you have collected the first informations, you can adjust the ski bindings according to the skier's level and age.

11 to 49 years old

≥ 50 years old

-2: descend from two rows in the table
-1: get off a line in the array
0: no correction
-1: move up one row in the table

 

With these tips, you can now set up your ski bindings yourself. If you are unsure about some settings, don't hesitate to have them checked by professionals in the ski rental shops.
