What does weight have to do with ski?

Question

because on ACCIDENT i accidently wrote 150 when im supposed to write 180.

is it okay if i still ride the 150 or should i change it to 180

Answer 1

change it. It will make the skiing easier. and safer.

Answer 2

Since you wrote 30 pounds less, then the technicians will set your binding for that weight. You are actually heavier, so there is a good chance you may "pre-release" a ski while skiing. This means that a ski may pop off during your normal skiing, when not needed nor expected.

This is not a good thing, because this will cause you to fall unexpectedly, which is annoying at best, or an injury waiting to happen at the worse.

Answer 3

The ski tech needs to know your weight to set the binding release. You don't want the binding to just up and release for no reason, and you don't want the binding to not release if you wipe out. Therefore the ski tech needs to know your weight.

Answer 4

change it to 180,

Weight can decide what kind of ski you should have.

And lying about 30 pounds, not the best idea.

Answer 5

it is all about the binding and when they are suposed to release

like horizontal most will release at 5 Gs so 5X130 instead of 5X180. your skis will pop off alot easier

it would be a very wise decision to change them

Answer 6

no change it because then they will give you different skies and then the skies will help you stop and turn .
