What are Din ratings for ski?

Answer 1

In skiing the DIN is the rating that tells you how easily your skis will release in a fall. If the DIN is too low your skis can come off as easily as you gettingair (this happened to me). If it is too high they will not come off even if you are rolling, spinning or even somersaulting down the hill (this also happened to me). The DIN depends on how fast you go, your skier type (how good you are), your height and your weight. I am a type three skier( I ski fast and aggressively in other words I'm good) I ski very fast, am 5' 4" and weigh about 145 pounds and my DIN is 6.5. The best racers in the world can have a DIN of 24 but a small child can have a DIN of just 2 or 3.
