Help...Ski's Got Jacked

hey NS,

Me and my buddy started out the season up at A-Basin today. It was snowing but not too cold so we decided to go back to the car and shed some gear after hikin the park for about an hour.

We ski'd down to the rope where a path crosses the creek to a street next to the top roadside parking area and left our ski's in the snow by the trees. We were gone about 5 minutes and came back and my buddies skis were gone but mine wern't(go figure they are abused old PE's)

We then walked around the parking lots for a bit looking for them and checked the offices and rack down by the base just in case... no luck

If you live in the Boulder/Denver area and know who took them or something and can help us get them back please reply here. All this kid likes to do is rip.

Ski's: 06/07 Line invaders with 06/07 Line reactor bindings: white top sheet with green and yellow graphics moderately worn around the sides... should be jibij and skullcandy stickers on them if not more....

taken from Arapahoe Basin on sunday October 14th about 11:00 am




Yes we know it was stupid to leave our ski's there even for a bit so please dont say that and yes I know current G code of ethics prevents thugs from ratting out their boys but please try and help...

Maybe the reactors will break and they will be put in the hospital, and that will be a prime example of karma.

Good luck getting your skis back.

good luck dude, I got my skis jacked last year (unmounted, undrilled, 07 scratch fs) and I ended up getting them back. Keep an eye out on craigslist and ebay. file a police report too if you haven't done so already.
just keep looking, stolen skis can be found

Word. As Slandis said, "You can take a man's money. You can take a man's land. But you do NOT take his skis."


And, bro, sorry to hear about it. Good luck gettin' them back.

Or maybe this incident saved you from some binding explosion that would have sidelined you for the season...

Thats BS dude.  Mine almost got stolen at Keystone last season.  We left them there at the Mountain House and came back out and they were gone.  We told ski patrol and then went to the Gondola.  I turned around and BOOM, there were my skis and my friends skis in some other guys hands.  We ended up getting them back.  So, I bet you will find them somewhere.  Good luck!!

Make sure to check with the mountain. Once i left my skis leaning against a snow pile and went over to talk to my friend for a while and they were gone when i got back.  Turns out ski patrol took them because they assumed someone had forgotten them.

Man that sucks, I hate this stealing bullshit soooo fucking much.  I got my bike jaked this summer at Whistler during Crankworx, it sucked sooo much since I had saved up and just got it a couple months earlier, and then some fucking faggots stole it and my cousins bike too.  Like they have no concience at all, they have no clue how much the shit that they steal means to people.

lol I allways thought his reactors sucked... but he was convinced they were amazing

even when the the brakes kept breaking and they exploaded once on a transition to a wall.


anyways been checking ebay and craigslist and he filed a police report not much else we can do other than call some local used sporting goods places.

also sorry to hear bout your bike dude, some people just dont think about how much it can affect the persons lives that they are stealing from

Indeed. My friend had his skis jacked and they were covered by homeowners insurance. Pretty sure its not with all insurance companies and also that you MUST have the serial number and/or receipt.
