Skier/Boarder Type

Your skier/Boarder type, height, weight, age, and boot sole length are used by the shop to determine the release/retention settings of your ski bindings. Be sure to provide accurate information; any error may increase your risk of injury. Consult these descriptions to select your classification. We also use your Skier/Boarder Type to expertly select your equipment. Boot, board, ski, and binding stiffness play a large part in our selection of equipment. The day's conditions may also play a significant role. We do not just throw gear at you, and we believe this is what seperates us from other choices for rental.

Beginner	Intermediate	Advanced
Ski/Board conservatively Prefer slower speeds. Prefer easy, moderate slopes. Favor lower than average release/retention settings which correspond to an increased risk of inadvertent binding release in order to gain increased release capability in a fall. NOTE: Type I also applies to entry level skiers/boarder uncertain of their classification.	Are all skiers/boarders who do not meet all the descriptions of either Type I or II. Favor average release/retention settings	Ski/Board aggressively. Normally ski/Board at high speeds Prefer steeper and more challenging terrain. Favor higher than average release/retention settings which correspond to a decreased capability to release in a fall in order to decrease risk of inadvertent binding release.

If your new to Snowboarding, heads up! Snowboard bindings do not release, but do not worry this is nothing new and it works just fine. Hey, if it does not come off then that makes it hard to lose your board in the powder.
