Nothing is better than knowledge from personal experience! Because there has been such a response to the question about how bindings are positioned on downhill skis according to sex, I 'll offer some more info. from a pamphlet given to me by the ski shop that originally stated that, as a woman, I would benefit greatly from having my skis "balanced" (for a fee separate from the cost of having the bindings mounted). Some of the phamplet says... Harry Cambell invented the Cambell Dynamic Ski Balancer, a device and process that accurately positions any skier at their optimum position on a ski. 70-80% of women benefit substantially from custom balancing. Skiers reorted after being balanced better control, less fatigue, and more confidence. Fixed mounting cannot address variations in ski boot size, type, flex, fit, performance and how pressure is distributed on a ski. nor can it address individual variations between sexes and how we stand and flex. As a group, women skiers are significantly disadvantaged because of generally smaller feet, a tendency when flexing to apply pressure to an area of the foot behind where most men do, and they predominantly use rear entry boots. For plateaued skiers, the problem is simply being positioned too far back on their skis to perform the maneuvers necessary to break the plateau to become an advanced skier. And there is more, but it's not relevant. On calling a ski shop, a good friend told me that on beginner skis, the mounting plate is in the same area for both men and women. As one advances to longer skis, there are women and men skis because in women's skis, the mounting plate for the bindings is further up on the ski then a man's. I am unsure if this is standard practice - mounting bindings further up the ski for women. If it is standard in the ski industry, why is there a need for a "custom balancing" from which women would benefit? Joanne
