thats what I've done before but last year mine froze up and as I was cutting it off with my leatherman I realized that anybody else could do the same thing. Nobody even paid attention to me hacking it up nobody even asked if they were my skis

I always just try to bring a lock but I usually forget so I split my skis with friends and put them different racks.

Skis are normally covered under home owners or renter's insurance. You're covered even if you're in college if your parents claim you as a dependent on their income tax.

Usually. You'll have to call your insurance company though. Ask if the coverage is for market value or replacement value as well. I've had friends get full replacements when their skis were stolen and ones who got half of what their skis were worth when they forgot to close the ski rack on their car.
