I have a pair of this years Surface One Lives and Watch Lives, both mounted with FKS 140.

I weigh like 120 lbs, will probably put on 5-10 lbs by ski season and am 5'9"

however, i dont ski a park, and really charge big mountain lines and such. I have skied my whole life, and go fast and hard.

So... what din?

id say the one lives will be used for 10% deep pow 60% choppy pow 40% all mountain (no park)

For the watch lives: 30% park 60% all mountain 10% pow

when i say all mountain i mean moguls, charging steep chutes and such in hardpack, etc.

soooo... help me out NS?

sorry dont mean to be rude, but how can someone with almost 2k posts think its a good idea to ask NS what to ride their DIN on? Go to a shop! or just get fks 18s and crank em up to the top!

You are an idiot.


There is a sticky in this forum. Please read it.

Don't ask the internet for DIN advice.

I apologize.
I just wouldn't give non serious advice on bindings in gear talk.
That's what NSG is for

wait what?? surely if its due to law issues they should be setting it to the correct DIN? having it too low can cause injuries too... if your shop is really that incompetent i would suggest ( i am not necessarily correct just suggesting, rudger taught me this) the next time you go skiing taking them to a shop at that ski field? and not touching them by yourself

^start wear the shop puts them at and if you think it's to low for you and you are coming out at times you don't want move them up .5 till you feel it right. Just make sure you army going alot higher then the shop settings because there is recommended settings for a reason.

Nope, my shop can't touch my binding DIN either. Since STHs start at 9, and since the shop legally has to follow guidelines. According to those guidelines, I should be at an 8.
