When skiing, there are two things that you always want to have with you; your ski pass and your ski-bindings. The former is the price that you have to pay for the latter, which is what this article is all about.
Often, when skiing on a powder day, you’ll find yourself struggling to pull off your ski-bondings due to their weight. This essentially means that you have to keep stopping and putting them on and off during your skiing session, or you’ll risk tearing off a piece of yourself.
Luckily, there are tricks and techniques that you can use to make moving your ski-bindings easier. Let’s have a look, shall we?

The Classic PULL Technique
The classic technique for moving your ski-bindings is PULL. It involves you sliding one ski-binding on your ski pants and the other one on your jacket. This is a tried-and-tested method, but as always, there are shortcuts. If you want to learn this technique, there are several shortcuts that you can take. First, there is the classic method that we described above. Second, you can wear your ski gear all day and simply switch to your street wear for the evening. This saves you a great deal of effort. It also allows you to move your ski-bindings around more easily.
The “Switch-Ski-Bondings” Technique
Another technique that you can use to move your ski-bindings is the “switch-ski-bondings” technique. This involves removing one pair of ski-bonds from your ski pants and attaching them to your jacket. Then, you can remove the other pair of bonds and attach them to your other jacket. This is a quick and easy way to swap sets of ski-bonds without having to remove your entire ski gear.
The disadvantage of this technique is that it requires you to have a second set of ski-bonds available. So, if you’re planning on doing any downhill riding, this technique might not be for you. On the other hand, if you’re just doing some straightforward skiing or snowboarding, then this technique can be a great way to switch between skiing and snowboarding without having to remove your ski gear.
The “Carry-On” Technique
Another technique that you can use to move your ski-bindings is the “carry-on” technique. This involves removing one pair of ski-bonds from your jacket and attaching them to your ski pants. Then, you can remove the other pair of bonds and attach them to your jacket. This is a great way to bring along your ski-bindings without the worry of them getting tangled up in any cables or ski-staches.

The “Suspension Bridge” Technique
Last but not least, let’s discuss the “suspension bridge” technique. This involves first removing one pair of ski-bonds from your jacket and attaching them to your ski pants. Then, you can remove the other pair of bonds and attach them to your other ski pants. This is a great way to keep your ski-bindings organized while still being able to move around easily during your skiing session. Just make sure that you have enough space in your car to bring along your entire ski gear – or at least some of it.
