Do stickers discourage thieves???

Do you guys think having stickers on your skis would discourage someone from stealing them becuase they would be easier to pick out in a crowd....or does it not matter....I just wonder if someone would steal like gold edition chronics or prophets...i mean they only made 100 of them they it would be pretty easier to find them I would think compared to say finding a pair of stolen 1080s

but they also leave marks. I can tell my skis apart by the base repair and the bindings. If my skis got stolen, i would chekc every pair of TMs in my length at the hill everyday

Unfortunately, if someone is low enough to steal skis, he's prolly not going to ride them. He'll just sell them. I'd be disappointed if a fellow skier did that to another skier.

if you really are freaked out about it, and you have the salomon 912s, i noticed theres a hole in the release that you could do a cord and lock to a rack, if you were really scared of them being stolen.

Related question: do you think a sign on a post near a ski rack saying 'caution you are being watched by cameras' entirely eliminates the risk of getting your skis stolen?

just get ski check. usually you can add it on to the price of your season pass and it's good all year. I always do ski check because my friend got his snowboard stolen and that sucked for him so I do it every time

look bindings, cable lock, walla. dont have look bindings? thats your fault. if your even thinking of letting an ultra limited edition ski like that go unlocked, you deserve to have them stolen.
opps, that was free advertising.

I dont think anyone would steal phophets, nobody who would have any use for them would probably be low enough to steal skis, and ppl low enough to steal skis wouldnt because theyre so rare and huge and hard to hide

also write down the serial number on the ski too so you have another wat to identify your skis

Not at all cuz if they are sellin it they dont care and if they rip em off goo be gone will make it completely unnoticable. Snow Trails has a free ski check so i dont have to worry bout takes a few seconds longer but worthit in my opinion!!
Pete is currently sulking around Mt. Hood, shooting with Poor Boyz Productions and hitting on Kristi Leskinen. She hates guys, Pete lamented, so it’s not going good. Apparently Canada isn’t the only thing that’s tough for Pete to get into.

i just let the tops of my skis get beat to shit. nobody steals beat-looking skis. and then the chrome shit on my reactors is peeling off, which makes them look worse. but i keep the bases beautiful, and the edges sharp, and then i rock and roll!

dude, if someone saw gold chronics or prophets, theyd get stolen first, there are only 100 of each so people are gonna pay more for such a rare ski, esp the prophets

if someone stole my skis i would know they were my skis because of the combination of the bindings and they are T halls and not many people have them

it's so easy for people these days to steal skis. You mainly just have to walk up to the ski rack take a pair of skis walk away and hope the person who owns the skis doesnt see you. People should take more precautions and lock they're skis

if your skis are completely covered by stickers no-one will steal them

I have a secret hole for one of my skis, the other I bring into the lodge next to me.
Pretty secure.
