How do I select my level?

The following levels are the norm, defined by ISO (number), for mounting and setting bindings. Please select the level that is most relevant to you. Skier type does not have the same meaning as skier ability. For instance, an advanced skier who skis all-terrain, but is not particularly aggressive, may be able to use Type 2 settings.

The following levels are the norm, defined by ISO(number), for mounting and setting bindings. Please select the level that is most relevant to you:

Type I skiers
- Ski conservatively.
- Prefer slower speeds.
- Ski on easy to moderate slopes.
- Intermediate level, but not in good physical
condition.
- Good skiers, smooth and supple style, emphasizing
safety.
- Favor lower than average release/retention
settings. This corresponds to an increased risk
of inadvertent binding release in order to gain
increased release capacity in a fall.

Type II skiers
- Intermediate skiers in good physical condition.
- Prefer a variety of speeds.
- Ski on varied terrain, including most difficult trails.
- All skiers who do not meet all the descriptions
of the other skier types.

Type III skiers
- Ski aggressively.
- Normally ski at high speeds.
- Prefer moderate to steep terrain.
- Favor higher than average release/retention
settings. This corresponds to decreased capability
to release in a fall in order to decrease risk of
inadvertent binding release.
- Type 3 settings should not be used by skiers of
less than 22 kg.
