Tyrolia have a web app:
https://calculator.tyrolia.com/

i mean they’re all good. They all work on the same table. The Tyrolia one is good for flipping between units.

I use that one though I'm sure they're all the same.

You need your BSL also to calculate properly. Smaller the boots bigger the dins!

Does 3 and 3+ change much ? Because some have the + option while some don’t

A lot of kids on here are 6' tall, 125lbs, type 2 skiers, rocking 29.5 full tilts because they're comfy and should have their din set at like 5?

a large majority of park riders regardless of progression are already what could be considered a “type 3” skier

This is what type II skiers will tell you all the time. "I ski the park, and the double-black diamonds" "I'm a type 3 skier"

Honestly just crank your dins until you have a complete ACL tear, then back it off by 1-1.5 and you'll be good.

You'll set a din over time with experience that works for you. Start at the recommended value for your weight/height/skill level and if you pop out more than you want to, up it by 1. Work with that method for 2-3 years and you'll find a din you're absolutely confident with
