Those cable locks that clip in can be undone faster than it would be to actually unlock them.  If the thief really wants your gear then he can simply undo the lock.  They don't work good.

People suck.  I ski at a small but SICK mountain where everyone knows each other.  No one takes skis from another there.  This is the reason I stopped going to Keystone and Vail and Beaver Creek.  TO many tools out there.  I wish the resorts could step up and try to do something about this.  Every year it seems to get bigger and bigger.  WTF!

people that steal seriously piss me off.  it's not your stuff.  it's that simple.  it's not yours so what the hell makes you think that taking it is ok?  it pisses me off cause no matter what it is that gets stolen it's like they have no idea how hard you had to work for it, or how much it means to you, or that you might not have the means to replace it.  bottom line: don't steal dammit!

I always lock my skis up, but at the rate things are going I feel like that will not stop people from bringing cutters and jacking your skis anyway.  I may just start wearing my skis into the lodge.

Telluride's got a sweet ski valet.  I always use that, nothing like having some guy watch your skis for free while you get a bite to eat.

I just bought one of those locks yesterday.  Looks pretty weak, but I guess it's beter than nothing.

I never understood why seperating your skis would help - someone could be watching you do it.

mine has already paid for itself. I came back from taking a piss the other day and someone had scrambled up the numbers trying to open it. The lock is totally legit too, not all plastic and shit. All steel.

I warned this lady about stealing at Okemo this past week. she was like oh.. I've just been leaving my stuff laying around. hopefully she's got a little sense now. I was arguing with my friend about it.. he thinks it's a waste to watch your gear in the lodge and to lock skis outside. hopefully he never gets stuff stolen.

go buy a cheap bike lock from walmart they are made out of chain so they fit in a pocket great and you cant break them like cable locks... ( i have seen a cable lock be broken with NO  tools or anything)    the bike locks at   wallys  world  are cheap i only payed  3$  for mine,, the only down side is they come with a preset  combo.

Word. Me and my other friend (steez_nips) were going in for a quick say hi to Sam (SamCaylor) at Baker, we each gave each other one ski, put them in very different spots, came back to see that one of the pairs of our skis (one of mine, one of his) had been jacked. Luckily, some guy saw that his kid was stealing that shit and gave it back to the office or some shit like that. Overall, not very impressed with people stealing.

Yep. At my mountain no one even knows what twin tips are, so they are sort of viewed as worthless by most of the crowd.

No they will.  They really arent that hard to break really just a quick jerk will break them and youd be surprised at the things that people don't notice are going on. Like that one thread said, you should set up a sting op and beat the shit out of the fuckers that stole it

Trust me... you'll be surprised how much theft goes on in broad daylight.

If you saw a guy yanking on his lock, would you say anything? If he said it's broken/he forgot the code, you wouldn't know whether to believe him or not, and you wouldn't say anything in case you were wrong.
