Powder leashes.

Bandit - It maybe reflects the excellent season Europe is having on the snow front. And maybe less experienced skiers being seduced off piste by the conditions.

I usually crank up the bindings for my off piste forays. I know its not ideal and may result in an injury, that is why I'm on the lookout for leashes of some description.

We differ then, I made no adjustments to my DIN, and lost no skis in the pow. I guess it's personal choice together with the approach to the hill. The guy in the local ski shop reckoned that I would suffer pre-release on 5.5 and wanted me up at 6. I bet him a beer, I won.
Salomon charts reckon that I should be setting my DIN at 4.5 for the 912.ti binding which we were betting a beer over. :D
