So I lost the left ski off my pair of grizzlycorns yesterday at Baker. It was last seen out of the corner of my eye in the chute above The Knob, off chair 1. We have theorized that its path would've more than likely been to the skiers right into the trees/off the cliff to the right of knob proper. It is mounted with a Atomic branded 914 th.at have been used 3 times that i'd really like to have back.

Just thought I'd let the population know in case one of you comes across it randomly or something.

The reward can be chosen from the following list: Sticker pack and a ON3P or SickStickz tee shirt, lunch, a free mid-week ride to Baker with complimentary coffee and pastry, 20 bucks cash, a sixer of PBR or 1 pitcher at the Up and Up Bar in downtown Bellingham pending age verification, or a green Analog or black Bonfire Jacket in XL.

Ohhh man...sorry dude. I hate when that happens. Losing just one is such a bitch.

On a happier note, those rewards all sound pretty fantastic if you ask me haha.

go back there with a metal detector. they work well. back in the day when I was a land surveyor we had one for locating buried property markers... so if you can't find/borrow one around the resort, ask a survey company.

We need to start a service to link up people who have lost single skis/bindings.
Or donate them to rad dudes in sit skis.

If I cant find the single I lost by the time i re-up I'll be thinking about doing just that. So if anyone here knows a totally rad sit skier that wants a 191 unicorn that feeds on pow let me know and i'll send it his way if its buddy isn't found.

This is by far the highest quantity of rewards I've seen offered on ns. I'd offer to help, but I'm stuck in shithole Minnesota. Still, hope you find your ski.

I know it sounds stupid, but I know people who have had success finding skis with metal detectors.  Might be worth a shot.  Repost for me but I let a girl test out some demos I had when I was repping for Head.  She took a digger, lost the ski and it dove.  We looked for a long time, but never found it.  Had to ski her out on my back.  This was in Sun Up Bowl in Vail.  Road my mountain bike back there in late spring, and the ski was just laying there right about where we thought it would have been.  Only a little rust on the edges which came off no prob.  Moral:  Don't lose hope.

I have another vote for giving the metal detector another shot.
Also, I too went and found a ski in the summer in the same manner Mr. Huck describes. couldn't believe how easy it was... and for the record there were metal detector searches for that ski too...
