I throw my skis on the ground next to the ski rack. nobody wants to steal skis that are on the ground.

I lock mine at certain mountains, I use a Dakine lock and it works great for about $10 bucks.

I have one of these.

You set you're own code, it's easy to use, and the cable's long enough to go through the bindings of two pairs of skis and round a bar or something.

Obv if someone really wanted to bust it, they could, but... dunno. just hope they haven't got cutters on them

I don't usually lock my skis. I put a bit of effort into separating them though, so if somebody wants to steal them, they have to find them.

again, it depends on where I am , but I saw one on sale over Christmas and picked one up. Just a standard cable lock that I tie through the bindings. Just gives me a piece of mind really, that's all.

Just use the simple burton lock. I usually lock mine together with my snowboarder buddy. so it would be obvious to spot if some one stole it ha.

This one's advertised as a laptop lock but works perfectly with skiis, fitting between the bindings.  It alarms when cut, and can even be set to alarm when struck (motion sensor.)

Always lock my skis. You can find one of these for pretty cheap and they do the job well. Click for larger image

THIS.

I think they're $ 25 or something. Which is WAY cheaper than a new pair of skis and bindings.
