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.

If the "expert" doesn't use the release check device, don't pay him.

Just my opinion, jimbo

I just bought a pair of Fischer skis and bindings over the internet

The system is such that mounting the bindings and setting them for the
boot size is pretty foolproof. She is a very conservative skier, so
setting the adjustments at the very bottom of the scale (4) like her
old skis should be fine.
I am able to pop the boots out with what seems like a reasonable
amount of force

Is there any compelling reason to have an "expert" check this over;
are brand new binding likely to be really far off? If it were for me
I wouldn't worry about it, but I would hate to see someone else get
hurt because I would spring for a prudent expense.

Thanks.
