alright so i was reading the thread about peoples stuff getting stolen at mount snow. It made me think about theft on the mountain and stuff. Back at Blue Mountain, Ontario (where I grew up) there were ski lock racks everywhere... I think they outnumbered the non lock racks 3 to 1. With special racks for boarders to lock up their shit as well.
Hell. One time I was hanging out at the Inn at Blue and saw some ski cops chase down, tackle and zip tie his hands togeather (I guess they didn't have hand cuffs on them at the time?) 'cause he stole a purse from a chick at the hill.
Anyways - my point is: I now reside in Rossland, BC and the hill here (Red Mountain) doesn't even have ski locks. Not one of our ski racks allows you to lock up your stuff. The retail shop at the hill (or any of the shops in town for that matter) doesn't sell them... The interesting thing though is that in my 4 years in this town I've heard of only one board being stolen from the hill. It was during the american long weekend so some punk from Spokane (we're assuming) came up and wanted to be cool, or something....
So, what other ski hills out there don't have ski locks and out of those hills, are there issues with theft?
