yeah the title says it. on average how many times a day do you lose a ski or do a yardsale. for me its at least 3 times a day if im skiing park . maybe once if im unlucky while out of the park.

i lose more shit outta the park trying like 180s and landing in the bumps and shit. basically trying impossible to land shit and having a yard sale. in the park i fall but don't usually lose all my shit usually just land backseat or something. like 5ish or so a day though...

Once usually. I keep my skis kinda tight, and digging around in powder is a bitch.

I don't lose them because I'm smart and I use powder cords.

kind of not a good idea, bro. might want to lower the DIN a bit, it's dangerous to not be able to have your skis pop off.

on my look p10s it was about once or twice. now that my home mountain broke them testing them to make sure they were safe for me to instruct on, im on my old axium 90s and i released almost 10 times today. i need to crank em up a little bit.
oh, my bindings passed the safety test, but ever since that test my heel piece only went halfway up and i had to lift it up. i brought it to my local ski shop and they did a forward torque test and it failed miserably

He didn't mean it quite so literally. He meant "how many times a day do your skis fall off?"

very rare. havent had a ski pop off in several days, despite skiing nearly pure park in those days.
It happens, but not often.

I've had 16 days this season, and have lost a ski twice. therefore I lose 1/8 of a ski every day.

i just got some addicts with fischer x14s on them and i didnt fall out once today, first time riding them tho
on my rossi axial 12s i fall out multiple times, but its mostly trying new stuff. so when im trying stuff its usually like 4 times a day. not trying 1 time maybe.
only time i loose a ski out of the park is
doing drops into heavy powder
when i do hop turns on variable snow conditions when a spot is soft and ur ski just drops throught the snow

if you do eat shit tho wouldnt you just smack your skis, i would think this would be very painful if you started tomahawking down the mountain while yours skis are strapped to your feet with cords
