I heard this morning through work that over 60 pairs were stolen from the reps storage unit.  They are all 09 skis I believe with bindings.  Keep your eye out.

Aaaaand I should've looked in the regional forums before I posted here.... That's what I get for not being able to post while at work.   Here is more detailed info from BDA10889's post in the utah forum....


"There are 62 pairs of K2 skis out there somewhere. Someone broke into the K2 storage locker in Cottonwood Heights and got all 62 pair. These are all 08-09 skis with bindings. Many of you have not even seen the graphics that are on the skis. IF someone tries to sell these and you hear about it....Call Cottonwood Heights P.D. (801-944-1830) Thanks for your help!


If you have any info.... I am sure the Karma Points will help... not to mention that I am sure K2 will hook you up if you can help get the sticks back

These skis will probably have marker bindings... and  graphics that you haven't seen unless you have been to SIA or know this rep or something."

Some dumbass is obviously going to get himself caught trying to sell these on Ebay without realizing the skis arent even available to the public yet.

does anyone know definitively how far in advance skis are made? I mean it seems like they would probly have to get started kind of early so they have a shitload of 09's in time for 09.. but i have no idea.

they may not even be the final product, they need to develeop the 09 skis very early for testing for team riders etc. in order to then start mass producing early enough to cater for supply

"You won't know the graphics unless you have been to SIA or know a rep."

Yeah, or unless you have the internet or a ski shop nearby. Many shops have them and pics have been up all over the web since January. Good luck getting teh shit back, that sucks for sure.

Markers skis are about as cool as being on the receiving end of prison rape.

They must have had like a fucking Uhaul or something... maybe a pickup truck and multiple trips, I don't think it's possible to fit 62 twins in a F-150 or something...

seriously, use your heads. in order to steal 62 pairs of skis there was definetly planning involved. seriously, i dont think anyone will see them. the robbers arnt idiots, if they can jack 62 pairs and get away with it, they can find seperate sellers willing to pay and keep their mouth shut. for all we know, they might even export them to the buyers if they live elsewhere. i dont know much about crime, but i have stole and i can say that if your guna go big, u gotta know what ur doing and forsee the problems and be sure to get around em.

yeah, that's what I was thinking. this isn't like some dumb ass who grabs a few skis off the rack and speeds off in their car. it sounds like someone who knows what's going on, like where the skis are at a certain time, and what skis they're getting/ who they're selling it to and when. if suddenly a sale for a ton of new K2's pops up on ebay then we've given them too much credit, they're idiots.
