Thank you Floss! Lots of good information. I had never thought about releasing the DIN springs but it make perfect sense. What about your climbing skins? Do you like to leave them glue on glue or do you put them back on the plastic sheet they came with? BTW EAFXtrader wondered if you will be back in Val D'Isere next season. I sure hope so!
Seeing you take out the liner and the foot beds of your boots to dry them reminds me of the time that on one trip I was in agony wtih my boots at the end of the first day so off to the pro shop in resort. After warming and pressing out the shell I went skiing the next day - still the same so I went to a different pro shop just across the piste. The technician took the inners out and said do you know you've got them in the wrong boots? He couldn't believe that I'd had them into the other shop and they hadn't noticed that! Got back to the chalet and told my mate's that he'd taken my lift pass off me. Why? Well he said if I didn't know my right from my left then I shouldn't be on the mountain - howls of laughter all evening. So my tip is take your inners and insoles out one at a time and mark them L&R with a Sharpie! It's so easy when you are rushing to do something else to put them back in the wrong way round!
I think leaving my bindings untouched for 5 years is what lead to my MCL ACL injury :/ I focussed so much on avalanche equipment and avoidance that i stupidly let the basics slip. Thanks for this vid Another tip, take the batteries out of your transciever and save them for when that remote control stips working (cos youre gonna get new ones for next season)
@@FreeFloFloss thanks, a positive mind helps the body recover! it's put the skydiving season on hold but as long as I'm fit enough to enjoy Japan next season, that's the primary goal 🙂 First world problems eh!
