Hello everyone,

I had a pair of skis stolen out of the bed of my truck at brighton today. They weren't locked up or anything (yes I am an idiot for that). Just wanted to post this thread to remind everyone that people suck even at ski resorts.

Also if anyone sees a pair of Line Sick Day 104s with drawings on them lmk

Reach out to all of the gear consignment shops in SLC, they'll keep an eye out. Also search on marketplace and craigslist for skis; if you keep looking, theres a solid shot you'll get them back.

Vibes OP. This is why I will carry my skis into the bathroom. I hear about stuff getting jacked at the ski areas every year. Once I had my bag stolen from the top lift at the resort so whoever took it had to have ridden 2 lifts up the mountain. Pretty lame that someone who can afford a lift ticket at an expensive ski area would decide to steal but we hear about movie stars shoplifting and stuff too

just had someone steal the frame bag off my bike. They got my CO2 inflator, tire repair kit and a twix bar as well. I'm glad the whole bike wasn't nabbed but who the fuck steals the frame bag off a bike?

When I moved to Salt lake at 19 someone stole my bike light off my bike, biggest inconvenience since it was my mode of transport before I had a car for a year and a half

Why carry them in? It'd be so easy for someone to rip them out of your hand while you piss. I just scootch into the bathroom with mine still on my feet

Nice, I hate having to unclick just to pee. Not so sure people would have such an easy time snatching a ski while I pee but maybe I should keep myself leashed up just in case. Started using a leash in combination with non release bindings last season because F runaway skis and boards

They should make a little terminal on the side of a run with some urinals, so you can take your piss mid run. They should also make it one of those long metal ones so you don’t even have to stop, just gotta whip it out and time it right

Classic BTown hospitality right there. That sucks man. That place has always had a bed rep when it comes to stealing. One time way back in the day, this van rolled up and guys threw every pair of skis out front of the day lodge/locker room and sped off. I had a pair of skis stolen like 8 years ago and the cop straight up told me that it's usually a theft ring and since it's so easy to hop onto I-80, they all go to WY and ID to dump stuff off. I'd check classifieds out of state near SLC like a hawk.

Would love to see someone do a sting. Put an air tag or tile inside the binding or brakes for tracking. Plant a bunch across the state and watch where they end up on your phone.

Damn dude! Hindsight is 420 but you shouldn't have to feel like that. Thieves are the worse. Thieves who tske somebody's, hobby, passion, tool, etc should burn in hell.

I knlw it's under but hopefully you find them. Sorry duder! Maybe somebody on here has a pair in that size they can give ya a deal on. Shit mega sucks :(

the only piece of gear I will ever find and use myself is sunglasses, because I also have lost many pairs of sunglasses on trails.



If you take someone's skis/poles/boots/stuff like that, there is a karma factor that will injure you if you use them

I started using a lock last year after I was walking out of the bathroom and a dude was picking up my deathwish at breck. Ran over and he claimed to be “checking out the top sheets”. Honestly I got lucky time wise because that fucker was 100% gonna steal them. Bought a cheap Dakine cable lock.

dude i have 2 of those sitting around and never in my life have I ever thought I would need to use them. Especially not for a pair of beaters with no bindings.

10-15 bucks for slightly more peace of mind is a price I will pay. I have this guy that constantly lives in my jacket pocket. Even if it would be easy to cut, I usually put my skis next to some other expensive setup since its easier to steal a less nice unlocked pair than a nice locked pair.

Downside of skiing on nice gear. Life was easier when I skied clapped out armadas that had three mounts on them.

ill keep an eye out. something for pivot owners to keep in mind, when you put your skis down twist your heelpiece into some fucked direction. people familiar with pivots usually aren't stealing them, theyre familiar with them because they can afford them.

ive always guessed most thief's will see your heel piece twisted backwards and assume its broken. never had my skis stolen.
