If you read a binding manufacturers shop technical manual they actually offer a -1 skier type and +3 skier type. After properly adjusting the boot to binding and setting the proper DIN every manufacturer recommends performing a release check with a certified torque measurement device. The reason is that the boot and binding must function as a system. The boot sole that contacts the binding can alter the actual release force necessary to release the boot from the binding. Just because you set your binding to your recommended number doesn’t mean that it will actually release within the recommended range. By measuring the actual force required with a torque wrench the binding spring can be adjusted to the proper range if necessary. One of the first steps in a test is to visually inspect the boot sole for wear and make sure it’s dimensions are within standards. The new Grip Walk soles are not compatible with older bindings that only accepts the older ISO 5355 standard.
Ability/Type/Level Means the same thing in this context. It's divided in Beginner (type 1), Intermediate (type 2) and Advanced (type 3) and is part of the DIN calculation formula.
@@snowcountry_euNot true. Someone can be of advanced ability and be Type 1 because they ski smoothly on mellows slopes while not being aggressive. Look at the DIN forms. There is a reason it's called "type" and not ability. Yes, advanced skiers are more likely to be Type 3, but they are not the same.
