Every time I see a "my skis got stolen" thread, I make a point to post that you shouldn't be leaving your skis on a rack at a crowded public resort and expect them to be there when you get back. Sure, you can split them, try to watch them from inside, or lock them up, but the fact remains that it's impossible to get away with stealing skis out of a person's hands, and thus you should all carry them inside.
I have been known to leave my skis outside, but never together and only when I'm going in to warm my feet on cold ass days and I can directly see them from inside. I have also never been to a resort that doesn't allow skis in the lodge. I was at a mountain here in IL on friday and my friends and I walked in with our skis no problem even though there were signs posted. Nobody said a thing. Why do people get so pissed about this? Why do people call me out for being stupid or trolling when I say this shit? I've been skiing for 17 years and never has it been anything but common sense not to leave your skis unattended.
and before you're all like "you should be more sympathetic, getting skis stolen sucks" I've had a bike that was more expensive than any pair of skis on this site AND that I had been riding for the past 4 years stolen from being locked on a rack at the dew tour. I definitely know how it feels.
