To put skis on, insert your boot into the binding. To take skis off, press down on the back of the binding to release your boots.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
Putting Skis On:
- Clear the binding: Make sure the ski binding is clear of snow and ice.
- Align your boot: Position your ski boot over the binding. The toe of your boot should align with the toe piece of the binding.
- Engage the toe: Press down firmly on the toe piece until it clicks into place. Some bindings may require you to manually close a lever.
- Engage the heel: Step down firmly on the heel piece until it clicks into place. You should hear a distinct "click" indicating that the boot is securely attached.
Taking Skis Off:
- Locate the release lever: Find the release lever at the heel of the binding.
- Apply pressure: Press down firmly on the release lever with your ski pole or by hand.
- Release the boot: The heel piece will release, allowing you to step out of the binding.
- Step out: Lift your boot out of the binding.
