Was shredding mammoth on my newly purchased 2010 line blends with griffon schizo bindings when suddenly I got caught in a tree well and found myself laying on my buttocks. Spent 2.5 hours looking for them with the help of ski patrol and 2 cats. I'm now wondering what to do with the other ski.... Any ideas?

P.S. Fuck my life

I give my ski to a 1 leg amputee and then they find my lost ski and it's torn to crap by the snow cats and dogs then what should I do with it? burn it? Mount it on my wall? I'm new to this whole losing a ski thing.

same thing happened to me on a pow day 2 years ago.

Lost the ski. It'll show up in June or something. I kept caling kept calling, eventually found out that one day a hiker had found it and turned it in. I feel so fucking lucky.

Ski is in good condition (buffed out some edge damage) and I skied on that ski today!

Other 2 options: 1) donate to a handicapped ski program or 2) shot ski. But with a new blend... ouch

It'll show up! such a bummer though

Wait till summer, and then walk up and get it. If it is thrashed then you can decide what to do with your ski..

Depending on what ski it is, it may be quite water-logged by spring. Donating your good ski to adaptive sports might be the best call.

Happened to my friend at Kirkwood a few years back. You know roughly where it went missing, jot down the location or GPS, leave a message at the office, and it will probably turn up in the summer all rusty and a bit banged up.

Sorry to hear, but I think you'll be reunited shortly.
