so i went to a comp on saturday with a bunch of my snowboarder friends. after the comp was done everyone was inside drinking or getting ready to go. my friend that got a brand new board for christmas (a nice fucking board too, endever maybe) was going inside to take his boots off. he put his board on the rack , took his boots off and came back outside when he found his board missing outside. i felt so fucking bad. he looked like he was going to cry. if someone ever took my fucking skis i would fucking kill them. thats so dirty

I went snowboarding w/ my cousin one time and his board got stolen just before we left. The funny thing was that his board was in between two really nice ones

I was at the end of the year pondskimming thing at my hill and I put my skis on a table inside, near the bar, with all these people around who know that they are my skis, and I went into the bathroom to put dry clothes on. When I came out, they were gone. So I just started running outside and looking around, and I see one of my friends and she says, "oh i just saw someone with skis like yours" I was like, what the hell...you know they're mine. She pointed to the car they were getting into and i took off to my car and drove off after them. They turned around right before the exit and headed back to the parking lot and I followed them, still trying to catch up. They finally pulled over and laid my skis in the parking lot and went to drive off. I yelled, "HEY ASSHOLES!!! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING" And they just didnt say anything and drove off. It was a terrible near death experience

the only thing that is acceptable to steal at mountains is food, and thats because they over price it so much, its unfortunate taht they dont just lower the prices because i (and most other skiers) would be willing to pay a reasonable price for food but i dont care who you are im not paying 3.20$ for a 20 oz gatorade

stealing skis/board is about as low as you can get, because your stealing from a fellow brother who skis/boards like you, so its basically fucked up.
im parinoid about that shit, so i make sure they are safe

I donno if any one would steal my skis. Theyre red 4frnt stls which not many people have seen. with the orange pivot jibs, which are prettty uncommon. And one of the bindings have a fucked up break. theres a grenade sticker across the back, and some rail marks on the bottom. soo theyre quite distinct
-my freind got his fujis stolen

do the whole splitting up of your skis, that way it's at least a delay

but then you might lose one.. or run into that asshole who would steal one out of spite

if i ever caught someone stealing my skis i would tackle the shit out of them and proceed to stomp their face in with my ski boots. well actually i wouldnt want my white spks all bloody so maybe just kick them in the stomach a few times. i engraved my name into my skis so that if anyone ever tried to say they were theirs i could just show them that.

i'm gonna be honest, i've jacked rental poles from gaypers. but after the first pair i yanked i just replace their poles with my bent up ones. thanks christy sports, poles are expensive. aside from christy sports poles, i've never taken anything.....its just bad karma. you steal some skis then break your leg riding them.

i've only witnessed one kid jacking skis and i felt like a piece of shit for not stopping him. he was a fucking faggot too. rich as hell and stealing someone elses skis, the first pair of scratches. i was 16 at the time so i was pretty dumb.

I'm going to take care of my skis more this season.  This whole thread scares me but if anyone for any reason took my skis and i find them I would seriously beat the shit out of them with anything in sight, pole, chair, kick them in the balls with my boot on.

even if its joking around I would do it, that shit is not cool. I'd rather lose everything I own but my skis.

^^ He might have snapped a pole and looked around for one that looked like the same size? 

Back on the topic of people stealing stuff, we dock our boat in a marina during the summer and I usually will just keep my wakeboard up on the board racks all day in case we decide to head out for a set.  (I ride an 06 Liquid Force PS3 with 08 Liquid Force Watson LE boots in case anybody cares.  The boat is a 2003 Mastercraft X-2)  Anyways, a couple weeks ago I'm driving our golf cart around the marina and see this kid on my boat taking my fucking wakeboard, so I just stop and start talking to him, saying oh, that's a nice board what kind is it blah blah I'm getting into wakeboarding and just asking him questions and stuff and after a few minutes he kinda just sketched out and walked.  He did, however, stick around long enough to see me go and get my board off the boat, at which point he must have felt like a total idiot. (At least I hope, haha)  I would have been super pissed if I had come down to the boat to find my board missing, but I got lucky.  Fucking idiot kids stealing shit.  Now I take my wakeboard off the boat after every set no matter what.

If I caught someone who stole my skis, I'd go predator on their asses. Fucking rip their spines out. At least that's the way I'd want it to go down. If it actually happened, I'd probably just curl up into the fetal position and just cry myself into a coma.

k so some advice with locks.
please dont buy those shitty retractable RC locks.
they are plastic and are piles of shit.
Its the easiest thing to break them.
all you have to do it undo one screw and its done. or use a rock.
either way, its easy as shit.
Do invest is a quality combination lock that at least isnt plastic
and has a higher gauge wire.
that $30 lock will save you hundreds.

Another dirty trick is someone screws with you DINS while your inside. I think thats worse than getting your skis stolen cuz you have a big chance of releasing and hurting yourself bad and be out for a season.

One time my dad went skiing with some of his buddies, and they got dropped off with their skis and shit and one guy drove the car to find a parking space. and while they were waiting, some guy in full gear just grabbed a pair of skis and poles, and peaced.


Stealing skis is like clubbing seals.
Why would you do it?

Yeah, if someone stole my skis and I caught them there would be severe consequences... someone stole my poles once, didn't make any sense, they were such shitty poles. Like ten years old, all bent and dented and scratched up... but I went no poles and finally learned tail grabs which I'd been failing hard on all day so I guess it worked out.

That's shitty. I've never had my skis stolen, but my friend Justin got his skis stolen from our school during ski P.E. and my friend Kolby got his stolen last summer in Whistler. It's a bummer, such a mean thing for one skier to do to another.

the same thing happened to my dad. He had these 1000 dollar carving skis, and just threw them on the rack because he had to make a phone call inside. The call took longer than he expected, and when he makes it outside, they're gone. He hadn't even taken a run yet, after a 2 hours drive to the hill. Needless to say, he bought a ski key. but for me, the second my skis het more than $600, i lock them up whenever i leave them, i'm not taking any chances.
