FOR A SET OF SKI BINDINGS

STEP 2 - FIND YOUR INITIAL SKIER CODE

  1. Find your Body Weight in kg (or lbs) by scanning along the top row of the table shown below.
  2. Find your Body Height in cm (or feet inch.) by scanning along the left column of the table shown below.
  3. Find your Initial Skier Code by locating the cell where the row for your Body Height and the column for your Body Weight cross.
  4. Make a note of your Initial Skier Code and then proceed to Step 3.
