For someone of your size and experience Ally, seven is quite a high setting. Skis don't normally come off without a substantial blow from a rut. I would suspect that something else was involved, like the forward pressure was set too low, or there was some snow packed in somewhere. |

Not when their opinion is rude. There are ways to disagree, point out an error, or educate the ignorant without resorting to insulting, demeaning, offending words. |

The main thing I got from that video is that grass skis don't to the right most of the time :lol: |

An interesting drill I've done a few times is to switch just one ski with someone. In just a few turns I adjust to having a different length and side cut radius on each foot. I don't differentiate left and right with any of my skis and have never noticed a difference between them. Having said that, I don't doubt that other people have become used to having a left and right ski and would notice the difference for the reasons Dave gave and many more.
There are many aspect of skiing that people can disagree on, but still have respect for each other. |

One of the reasons I appreciate living in the US is that there is so little petty penny pinching. There would be a riot if any cafe/restaurant did not have free water available, even at a ski area. |

The reason for increasing the Din number (release pressure) as skill level improves is an assumption that you will tackle more difficult terrain at higher speeds. This then becomes a compromise between the risk of injury from a fall in which the bindings do not release, and the risk of injury in a fall caused by the bindings releasing too easily.

That sounds excruciating :cry: Don't we need a coccyx for balance :lol: |
