Or when you go inside, get a table right beside a window and lay your skis up against them.

I left my seth vicous's out on a ski rack by the american flyer for 2 days. i actually drove from copper to denver and back leaving my skis there and they did not get touched. maybe because it was during the week but still no one touched em.

Seems like some kind of epidemic on the east coast. Practically everyone who posted was from out east. I've never had problems in Colorado and I don't know anybody who has.

once some kid stole my sisters skis, I hunted him down harrased him for a couple hours and finally told his mom (I was 10 at the time)
it wasnt that she allowed her son to steal just she was a bad parent and didnt notice when her son came home with skis

all i have to say for that topic is that so much people forget their poles at the end of the day on the lodges because they are completely drunk. hilarious, so i get good poles twice a year.
and just to say it: on my mtn are 20.000 people almost every day, and i havent the possibility to find the owner of those, so i take em before the lift workers take them with them. but i would never take skis or sthing that is worth more than 30$ even if the owner was dead or drunk like a russian tollkeeper.
the local police department main tasks are drug related cases and ski thefts, def. outta control.

people are even starting to put effort and planning into stealing stuff too..my friend was at killington a couple weeks ago and he had to run inside to get something so he had his mom stand by his board..his mom looked away from it for 5 soconds and when she looked back it was gone..luckly for him his dads friend works for burton so he got another 1 for free but i mean who ever did that must have been planning it for a while

in december we were in a tiny condo and left our stuff on the balcony for 5 nights is a row, and on new years eve 2 boards got stolen, one which was 1 week old. Fucking sucks, my skis were there too but probably too heavy because they climbed up from another balcony, so got lucky... And stuff gets stolen on the west coast too, dakine backpack with hoodie walkie talkies and stuff in it, 200 bucks worth of stuff, at the roundhouse in whistler...

i absolutley 100% despise theives, but i got my second pair of skis the other day so now im always bringing a combination lock and they will not get stolen now, at least if they tried too it would take them a very long time, but if a thief was walking around looking for skis to steal and he saw a pair locked up in tons of steel braided rope then he would more than likely leave them alone

or you could leave them unlocked and really obvious and have a group of like 6 huge guys watching it with walkie talkies, so when you see them start to be stolen, just freakin kill the kid

I've always been in favour of the death penalty for ski thieves.

i always lock mine up, though i would love to catch someone stealing them. My mountain has video cameras on the ski racks. Also, memmorize or write down your serial number on your skis, it's the only way to get them back if they're stolen, though rather unlikely.

My mountain has a ski and board check right next to the rentals so you can just check your skis wen you go eat or do whatever, they give you a tag to get your skis back and your all set. Theres also lockers at my mountain that I lock my stuff in.
All times are Eastern (-5)
