I am skiing a mini course (green balls). My ski is Connelly Aspect. The other day as I was putting on the ski, I cinched down the lace and for some unknown reason, I gave it an extra tug tightening the lace as much as possible. I always try to cinch it down, but this time I think I might have gotten it too tight. You guessed it! I fell, the boot hung on to my foot and the water jerked the ski. I ended up with a distal fibula fx. Ortho says 4-6 weeks in a boot. Question, is there any real good reason to lace the binding tightly? As I said, I did this almost unthinkingly. Next time out, maybe next season, I won't tighten nearly as much.
