I looked for a good 10 minutes for this thread, but couldn't find the answer. Do I want a higher DIN than recommended for a nosebutter?

Doing a nosebutter shouldn't put any more stress on your bindings than riding aggressively all over the mountain. If your bindings haven't been adjusted in a while and you've gained weight, height, bigger boots or gained skiing ability (should be a 3+) your bindings should maybe be set higher.

but to answer your question, no. your bindings should be fine if they are already set to your specs and abilities.

If you pop out every time you lean forward then yes probably, but you also shouldnt turn your din up because someone on the internet told you too.

No. They should actually be lower. Set your din to about a 3

You should probably learn to ski first

Aight thanks to those of you who helped. I just don't want to throw hard at the mtn and fall out of my skis and embarrass myself. Sorry to those of you who clicked on the thread and didn't enjoy it.

If you are skiing hard enough to be throwing down real nose butters, your DINs should be high enough anyways.
