If you are only asked for your weight when adjusting your skis in a ski rental business, it is better to reconsider. In fact you will need the Z-Value, which is a value according to ISO standard 11088 and the so-called release force setting for ski bindings. It is displayed on the DIN setting (toe and heel binding) and is calculated using the following data.Età
Age
Weight
Skiing skills
Height
Ski boot sole length.
This data must be correct – so don't cheat 😉
The calculated Z-Value for the binding setting is an initial value for the setting. A correct adjustment of the binding can only be guaranteed a er successful verification with a ski binding tester! Therefore make sure the ski rental workshop of your choice has and uses such a device.
You should also know that the actual Z-value may differ from the Z-value determined, due to the ski boot characteristics, so annual checks for skis and boots are recommended.
