Replying to The Neverending Debate of DIN's - Backcountry Edition
I've never really bought into the trend of insanely high DIN setting required to ski aggressively at the resort, and have always run my Look's at 9-10 depending on the time of the year. But man, I eject in my Kingpins way too often when hitting anything over a small/medium cliff in the backcountry (~10ft or larger is a toss up). I don't wanna be that guy who just jacks his tech bindings all the way up and blows a knee in the backcountry, so I'm curious what my fellow cliff sending, backwards landing friends on NS think about the Kingpins release values. Do they seem pretty consistent with your other bindings or a bit soft? For reference I'm about 6'2 and 185lbs
