    There’s different forces required to release forward vs torsion side to side. A DIN 8 setting is typical for a veteran skier this size. I think that’s 180lbs of force per binding of forward lean so you got a lot to work with.

    Depending on the terrain an early ski release can be more dangerous than keeping them on. Skiing is risky but that’s part of the fun!
