I call it a semi controlled continuous fall..Some will say that skiing as a whole is a series of linked recoveries.

A 35meter GS ski from a few years ago will meet the parameters except length. Very cheap these days. Even free.Think I will make my next ski have their recommended parameters. Plus the Tyrolia Protector.
So what's the deal with the Rick Howell guy?
LOL. That's no bueno for Australia mate. Our runs are short and narrow.A 35meter GS ski from a few years ago will meet the parameters except length. Very cheap these days. Even free.

As someone who has skied with you, I find this odd, you are one of the more controlled skers on the hill who skis very smooth. This combined with a shorter BSL (which unto itself warrents a higher setting) I find it surprising that you feel the need to go well above your recommended settings.My bindings are set several points over the standard DIN charts anyway. For me, retention is much more valued.

And that's not even counting the human traffic, which makes them even more slalom-y

Zero desire to ever ski there.
Maybe consider another activity-

Can't imagine being a Canuck and skiing -15C
...wild guess, all of your Stockli's and Volkl's are setup with with Markers.Trial and error. Mostly error.
I can set it lower for bumps and steeps. Walk out often on groomer if I am not careful.

Have you tried the Look Pivot, or should I ask how many of your quiver sport them?
I agree. But it goes against our natural instincts to let a fall happen . When I was racing in high school we were taught that if we fell, ( GS) to not fight it and keep our skis off the snow as much as possible and don’t try to use them as brakes. That’s where a lot of injuries occur(red)- when a knee gets twisted under you. Of course if you do this right, you often slide around headfirst downhill on your rear and we didn’t wear helmets in the 70’s except in D.H. Trying to keep those 207’s locked onto your feet from catching as you slam into gates at 30 plus mph is not a fond memory.I will disagree with this ... I have seen numerous, as in more than one case where a skier tried to stop a fall and tore their ACL. In some cases it is better not fight the fall and let it happen.
