Impact of weight change on gear?

[kiki]

I've lost about 20lbs since last ski season, and expect to lose some more before this next ski season starts, wondering how that may impact my boot fit and skis? apart from having my bindings checked for adjustment, anything else? Do I need to worry about my boots (I sure hope not-$$$)?

DIN setting for sure. Boots maybe. But I think you need a really big weight lost to need new boots.

You may ---or may not ---feel a difference in the way your skis behave also.

Thanks Jilly! After spending so much on boots this past season I’ve worried .

I have lost 20 pounds over the last 4 years (slow but sure progress) and there is no difference in my boots or in the handling of my skis. The only problem I have is that my pants are a bit loose, but thanks to the miracle of the velcro waist adjusters, there have been no malfunctions.
