im pretty sure its already been brought up but i couldnt find the thread. how do you guys take off your skis? do you click them out with your poles or do one with your ski and the other with your boot? i take them off with my skis because its so much faster. only thing is it fucks up the top of your binding a little

depends on my bindings. my AT bindings are plastic so I'm careful with them and use my poles.but park skis I use my skis and boot because it is much easier

i don't believe that clicking out of your skis using your base is any worst than shredding rails on them...

If I have poles I'll use either method depending on how lazy I'm feeling. If I don't have poles, I obviously use my boot/ski to unclick

I either use poles or step on the bindings with my ski then boot. It all depends on what skis I'm on that day.

I ski to the bottom of the run, where my shoes are placed outside the chalet, and then just unbuckle by boots and hop in my shoes

I've actually done that before, but a 5'4'' 119lb kid riding a DIN of 6 trying to butter chronics won't end in many other outcomes. You could also try the Sean Kennedy method if you've seen the video, which I'm now calling how to correctly double eject a newschooler.

Sometimes I just sit down and take them off with my hands, but the pole method is usually my choice. Did anybody ever think how ridiculous this conversation would sound  to a non-skier? Only on NS would kids talk about how they remove their skis.

I generally use the pole method, my only problem with that is sometimes if I go too fast or when the binding goes down my pole slips out of the notch and dings the top sheet which I hate.

i have fks so using your pole fucks up your binding and using your ski has a tendency to kick the turntable to the side which gets annoying so ya hands are really the best

I have somebody to do it for me. Ask her.

Really i just do the ski to boot. I don't really care if I scratch my bindings or not. I need to change them, but i'm waiting for them to break.
