attach neon plastic straps (like the kind they use to mark trees that are going to be cut down) tie it to your boot and shove the leftover "tail" up into your pants.. it is really light so its not like it bothers you and also it is thin enough it will snap if you are in danger of ripping your leg off haha.. and this way if you ski falls of in pow you will have a better chance of finding your ski

I lost a ski last season. Powder day in december and very little was open so me and my buddies ducked under the tape. Ski got caught under a branch and it ejected. Looked for it for 4 hrs but nothing. SHITTY, SHITTY day that's for sure. But got it back this summer.

Just wait for summer to roll around, then as soon as the temperature warms up do some hiking on the mountain. Until then, gonna cost you some cash but you will have to rent / buy a new pair.

Other idea suggested to me was metal detector and a shovel

I lost a ski in peak 7 bowl today at Breck. luckily some guy came along and helped me search and we eventually found it, but it wasn't easy. I honestly don't know why/how you could give up on it like that though. I was ready to spend all day looking for that thing before I gave up on it
