When my skis are in summer storage I always un-tension the bindings (which
I
recall reading some years ago as being good practice).
My wife has not skied (mainly because of the kids) for several years. Now
on
preparing her skis for our forthcoming trip to Kitzbühel I cannot find the
sheet of paper where I recorded her DIN settings. I think my wife's
bindings
where set to 7. She remembers them as being set to 7. I have found several
websites with DIN guides, and I have downloaded DIN calculators: they
return
a value of 5.25/5.5 for my wife (based on age, height, weight, ability and
boot sole length)? When she bought her skis (in Munich), the technician
measured the width of her leg / bone as part of binding setup. Is there a
reason for this discrepancy? Her skis/bindings (Salomon) are probably five
years old (but she is very happy with them): is this a factor?
We do intend to visit our local ski shop to get things sorted out, but I
thought it is a useful discussion thread!
Thanks in advance for any responses!

Paul Smith
