I don't know if this is the right forum, but someone can move it if not.
I skied into serious powder today, a drift on a flat spot between trails. Trying to slog - er, skate - to a firmer surface, my binding released. I've consulted one friend so far (ski mechanic), who says I've now "graduated" levels and my DIN needs to be changed. He said it's releasing too soon.
It was a significant project to get myself up, find the buried ski, get the other one stuck under the snow, release the other one, dig it out, and carry them to the firmer surface. I fell four times in the process! But I kind of like the idea of protection. Is there a safety downside to changing my DIN? Until today, I hadn't thought there were any inappropriate releases.
