  1. Ski length, ski brand and the snow conditions that day
  2. Weight, height, age, skier type and boot sole length ✔
  3. Shoe size, boot color and years owning bindings

Why: Release setting charts use your weight, height, age, skier type and the measured length of your boot sole. A trained technician uses the chart and the boots to set it.

Huh, didn't know that: Salomon notes the setting can be found from printed tables or smartphone apps, on a scale generally from 1 to 13.
