Tighten your DIN

The snow started to fall and the base is accumulating. We can all look forward to a ski season full of snow, exhilaration and the dream of tightening our respective DINs. Tighten your DIN, that is a phrase we can feel righteous about moving forward. There was a free skiing competitor by the name of, well it wont come to me. He was from Taos, carpenter by summer, broke both his ankles one year, skied in a few Warren Miller movies etc etc..what was his name?? Someone? Anyway, he stood amongst the rabid skiers in 1999 in Whistler delivering this advice to us up top. "Tighten your screws". I personally didn't let his advice register, lost both my skies in a 40 foot tumble. What he was trying to tell us was to "Tighten our DIN"... on our bindings. Competition tenses up everything, thus the bindings need to hold a little extra tight! The other DIN setting is in ones head. DIN is noise, bothersome hindering noise, that reverberates and fills our heads. We ask you to Tighten or squelch that noise when you go skiing, or all the time for that matter. Keep the noise out, leave the phone at home, log into your Epic Mix when you get to the couch, enjoy the silence while on the snow...keep tightening your DIN.
