HOW TO ADJUST YOUR SKIS

Adjusting your ski bindings is an essential step to ensure your safety, comfort, and performance on the slopes or in powder.

CHOOSE YOUR POSITION

The way your skis behave depends on how they are positioned on the ski, or centred.

Setback refers to the position of the bindings shifted toward the back of the skis compared to the ski’s true centre.

Always align the middle of your boot (usually marked by a small line in the middle of the outer sole) with the ski’s reference line, and adjust your position as desired.
