Bindings and Session 1

Thank you to all the kids coming out today. We had 132 kids check in today, over 50+ compared to our most attended event last year. We will be having a link for photos and additional information soon on the blogsite.

Bindings

We had a lot of problems with bindings today. The bindings on the rental skis are automatic bindings from Salomon and typically operate very well...not sure why so many problems are occuring but here are a few suggestions:

- Freezing - Bringing the ski from a warm environment such as a house then into cold weather may be causing the binding to freeze inside. Try to keep in a colder environment (i.e. garage) before skiing to allow the metal inside to "acclimate".

- Lubrication - Work some lubrication into the inside of the binding. The new bindings seem to be very "tight". Try snapping the boot into the system several times and lubricating. The goal is to "loosen" the metal springs inside so that they work properly.

Thanks Again,

Noel & Jennifer
