The bindings should be on the tighter side. Not extremly tight but tight enough you have to put a little muscle into it to close. This will prevent premature release, and injury. Depending how big your boot is you may have to settle......Go for the tighter setting.

Where in Ontario are you....?? Home mountain??

Ah good ol markham.

I was at horseshow last week. Snow is decent. I personally love nice base and semi-grainy snow.

You using release or non release??

if you are riding park, you def want them on the tight side (esp if you ride without leashes....)

Most of the mountains in Ontario wont let you ride without leashes. (non release) But since they have never seen Skiboards, they dont really know you require them...:p
