I see something that looks as though it does not belong. Not sure if it has already been spotted. The front half of the Rossi ski fixed horizontally over the poster, appears to have a bluetooth phone earpiece hanging from the tip??

I think I also see 2 complete Look turntable bindings, and there is another turntable heelpiece with the stopwatch hanging from it.

But the question is ... is that grimmis on his face from fear or from realizing that jump may not have been all that good an idea. His red Spyder (?)jacket looks like it may soften the landing a bit. But since you have your magnifying glass out Bandit, what does the decal on the roof rack say? I can't make it out - can you? :D

Sorry, can't pick up that detail :(

Between the 2 Rossi stickers below the bench, to the right of the Kevin Keegan lookalike, there is a skier doing a rather large cliff jump. Look right of the binding brake.

Some of the glacier resorts in Switzerland are currently open, and have been open most of the summer. I have had great skiing in Zermatt this month, with fresh powder :D
You may want to consider Saas-Fee or Zermatt to start with. Then check out Engleberg, I'm not sure of their main opening dates, but I had pretty good skiing there in mid December last year.
All of those resorts have a variety of hotels and apartments to suit all budgets.

Accurate information about Scottish mountain weather conditions can be obtained year round from Winterhighland.

I saw this website today. I was convinced it was a spoof :D

Then I read that the manufacturer is exhibiting at the UK Ski Shows.

Tell us a bit more about yourself. for example, how many weeks skied, weight, where you want to use them etc. It may help to narrow down your choices, some bindings have higher DIN settings, some have wider brakes etc etc.
Lots of bindings to choose from BTW, it may come down to...er colour :lol:

Binding Setting is more than numbers. Take toe wing height for example, is it automatic, or do you have to set it? Just how tight does the boot need to be in the binding for it to be correct?
My suggestion, is to set them up yourself, (and this assumes they are already mounted on the ski), and have them checked by a good ski shop once you arrive in resort.
Ski shop staff mounting bindings use custom made jigs, and they still mess up!!
I'm just back from Zermatt and the Swiss Ski Test. I took a piece of paper with my DIN, weight, age, weeks skied etc, and handed it over each time I took out a new ski. Each time the DIN setting was queried as being too low. I use 5.5, routinely they would have set 6.5-7.
I got my way, and there were no pre-releases :D
