How tight should i tighten my bindings before i go down the hill??

Question

When you stick your boots in then tighten the bindings how tight should they be?

Answer 1

you want them to be tight, but not too tight. if there too tight they will be uncomfortable.

Answer 2

They should be tight enough to hold you onto the skis until it is time to release, when they should release.  If you do not have any experience it is something best left to a trained technician in a ski shop.

Answer 3

they should be tight but not so tight you cant feel your feet. you should tighten the one closer to you a little more.

Answer 4

For snowboard bindings?  So that it's snug and your boot doesn't wiggle.  You don't need to reef on it so hard that it starts to cave your boot in and you can feel your foot being squeezed by it.
