So a month ago at attitash I got my poles stolen, they were yellow/ green line ones with the yellow tabs on the grip. So I bought new ones, exact same ones, and they were stolen again today. I know there's nothing that can be done, but if the thief is reading this, just know your a piece of shit.... If you feel like sending them to me, I'll pay shipping, I just want poles for the season remainder.

man, fuck all you kids talking about some non-existant pole-stealing cycle.
Stealing from other skiers = not cool.

...however stealing rental poles is entirely acceptable. no one is relying on those but tourists.

I'll admit I've asked for shorter poles at rentals and not given them back.

Funny story,
my little bro took someones poles at crotched. The kid found my brother pushed him over from behind and kicked him in the head with his ski boot. My brother told me about it and I proceeded to take the same kids poles and ski around for a bit until he came out of the lodge. He walked outside and began looking for his poles, i skied down, threw his poles at him and told him that if he ever touched my brother again i would kill him(this was even more intimidating for him because i was probably a good foot taller then him.) The only words the kid could muster up were "please don't kill me." lol

i actually somewhat agree with this...people who steal others skiers' shit are fags. thats probably something that was bought with earned money (in my case). People who say "oh you learned your lesson, don't leave expensive things around" are just fucking retarded. How can people say freeskiing is a tight knit community if you don't feel safe leaving your personal skiing possessions on the mountain...its just wrong. but yeah, stealing rental poles is more acceptable, seeing as they're probably pieces of shit anyways, and its not like the mountain needs the small amount of money that the poles are worth.

I used to take runs without my poles all the time and just leave them on the racks at the bottom of the hill. One day while I was riding up the lift I spotted some guy standing at the top of the park and thought he had the same poles as me. As I got closer I noticed the poles were way too short for him, I'm like 5'7" and he was like 6 something. Then I noticed a bunch of spy stickers I put on my poles and knew that they were without a doubt my poles. All I had to do was yell "Hey man do you mind putting my poles back at the bottom when your done with them?" The look on the guys face was priceless and heard him awkwardly say "oh, uhh yeah sure".

Honestly, I didn't care that he was going to steal them. It's pretty low to steal from a fellow skier, but my friend with me thought it was hilarious and the story is worth more than the poles anyways.

Lessons learned thus far in this thread:

-Stealing is a stupid, in all it's forms
-Buying really expensive poles is mildly absurd
-Stealing shouldn't necessitate violence
-Stealing does justify creative callouts of pole thieves
-The skiing community just shouldn't be pole jacking

Stealing rental poles at a huge resort: okay

Stealing rental poles at a struggling local hill: you're a dick.

Oh? I hope everyone checks out their local hill's financial reports before they decided whether or not to steal rental poles... You're a fucking clown.

Just recently I can say that I have had a good deal of experience with this. Including two bikes. A few weeks ago, someone stole two pairs of my girlfriends shoes from my front porch. It was probably $200 in shoes. That feeling of being thieved is the worst. After two bikes and two pairs of shoes and a lot of money and anger I have learned the following.

1) We should be able to leave our stuff out, but that's just not how life is.
2) People who steal stuff are in a bad place in life and that energy will come back to them.
3) Take care of your stuff!!! Lock it up, hide it, keep it with you, anything but leave it out.
