God damn it i hate thiefs so much the worst thing is that ski locks dont do shit my friend can unlock his by just pulling hard on the cord and it unlocks.
The cool thing about my Local Mtn is they have started a program were you register your skis/board with the serial code, specs and pictures and then if they are stolen the whole staff/ski patrol is alerted. And if a kid has the same stuff as in the description they pull the person aside and check the code... if its stolen the theif loses there pass for ever and are taken to the police department. :) just remember ski/board theifs "Karmas a Bitch"
