What is my Skier Type:

  • Understanding your skier type is essential for selecting the right equipment and maximizing your skiing experience. Here's a guide to help you determine your skier level based on your abilities:
  • Level 1: First-Time Skier- If you are new to skiing and just learning the basics, you are a Level 1 skier. This means you can:
    • Use ski equipment properly
    • Stop safely
    • Slide on the snow
    • Change direction slightly
  • Level 2: Beginner Skier- As a Level 2 skier, you have some experience on the slopes and can:
    • Stop safely
    • Change direction on easy blue slopes
    • Navigate gentle terrain with increasing confidence
  • Level 3: Intermediate Skier- Intermediate skiers at Level 3 are ready to tackle more challenging terrain. You can:
    • Attempt red slopes
    • Handle moderate slopes with some confidence
    • Still feel a bit uncertain about your technique on steeper terrain

Level 4: Advanced Intermediate Skier- At Level 4, your skiing skills are more refined, like a professional ski bum. You can:

    • Ski with parallel skis most of the time
    • Confidently navigate easy red slopes
    • Handle more challenging terrain while maintaining good technique

    • Ski with parallel skis on red slopes
    • Ski confidently and efficiently
    • Feel ready to try black slopes and handle more difficult runs

Why Knowing Your Skier Type is Important

Determining your skier type helps you choose the right equipment tailored to your skill level. It ensures that your gear matches your abilities, providing better control, safety, and enjoyment on the slopes.

 

What is my Boot Sole Length (BSL)?

  • Let’s talk about finding your Boot Sole Length (BSL). It can be a little difficult to find some times so we have some tips to help:
    • Step 1: Spot the Number Look for a 3-digit number on the outside or inside heel of one or both of your boots (not on the bottom of the back). No decimals allowed here (e.g., 28.5) – if you see one, you’re probably staring at your Mondo Point size, which won’t cut it for us setting your boots to your bindings. Numbers like "270/275" or anything found on the bottom? That’s Mondo Point territory, not BSL.
    • Step 2: Measure Up If you can’t find the BSL anywhere, grab a ruler and measure along the bottom of your boot from the tip of the toe to the back of the heel. Make sure you measure in millimeters for precision! (You can always call us if you have questions about it!)
    • BSL vs. Mondo Point: What’s the Diff? Nope, BSL and Mondo Point aren’t the same. Think of Mondo Point as your general shoe size, like a "size 11." BSL is the exact length of your boot from toe to heel, measured in millimeters. Even boots with the same Mondo Point can have different BSLs. Since ski bindings are all about precision, you’ve got to mount them or set them to the BSL, not the Mondo Point. We do this all in the name of safety so if you are unsure at all, reach out! We are happy to help! 
    • Why It Matters: Getting your BSL right ensures your bindings fit perfectly, giving you the best performance and safety on the slopes. Trust us, this one is important!
