Well, lots of good advice. BUT, unless the "expert" you choose uses
the device that actually pops the boot out of the binding to check the
release torque, you might as well do it your self. I haven't seen any
rental shop that does anything more than set the DIN. In fact, I
haven't seen any retail stores that do anything more. I have seen only
one "expert" shop that used the device I mentioned.

It's not THAT uncommon, is it? The Grind at Mount Snow has a Wintersteiger
that they test with -- I know because all instructors need to get their
gear checked out on this every year.
