Hi everyone,
I bought new boots recently so had my local ski shop do a binding adjustment (and full tune with spring structure and wax at the same time). I've since skied 3 days without incident. Last night as I was getting the skis out the car, I noticed that the DIN setting on one toe piece was all the way over to the right. Off the chart, essentially at "zero". The other was set at my recommended number of 5.5. I wasn't sure if the indicator itself could be faulty so got out a screwdriver, and could adjust the setting myself to 5.5. The settings on the heel pieces look okay.
What on earth happened here? I plan to call the shop today to discuss. I do not have the paperwork that came with the tune anymore. Should I bring the skis back in to have them looked at? I didn't have any falls or other incidents in the days I skied, and my bindings never released (on either ski). I was skiing fairly hard/fast at times. How unusual is it that I didn't have a pre-release on that side? I am a bit freaked out by it all, as you might imagine. I never imagined that I should be double checking DIN settings myself but certainly will be now. Thank you for your thoughts and suggestions! p.s. Bindings are Tyrolia Attack 13s and skis are 2020 Santa Ana 88's.
