Stolen Skis?

back before we got started- i had a pair of Salomon 1080's, the one's with the winged "S" on the tip, walk away from me.
was staying ski-in/ski-out, skied down to get my ticket and distinctly remember putting my skis on a rack precisely because there was a camera looking at the rack. went inside, grabbed a Ticket and when i came out skis were not where i put them, wasn't out of site for 10mins. After 2 hours of running between lost and found, mountain services, security, town police and others i learned that it was just a dummy camera with no recording capability. to this day i wonder if they were stolen or if it was just a mistake, ski was a few years old at the time.
Resort services was kind enough to give me a ride back up the mountain to the condo.
positive outcome of it was that for the next two seasons i demo'd just about every ski sold at three of the ski shops i frequent. got a really good feel for testing skis and how different skis perform in different conditions. so that was a fun two seasons.

wouldnt say its rare at all. i know tons of people who live in SLC who have had their cars broken into and tons of gear/skis/packs/etc. stolen right in front of their house/apartment and even in park city. my buddy had his rossi scratches with FKS' jacked out of his truckbed during apres when he stopped in for a quick beer at one of the local bars.

theabortionator99.9% of the people at the mountain are decent people. They might be a jerry, they might be some drunk guy to cut you off, but they won't steal your shit.

Unfortunately there's that .1% of the crowd that's completely shitty, will steal your shit, and should die asap.



I've had a board with brand new binders stolen. I think that was my only board or ski theft but it sucked. Especially if you can't afford other gear. Used to happen at mount snow all the time especially pay your age day. They should have done a sting there because it was getting so bad.

Took some kids there from the mountain I worked at. 1 of them got his board jacked. Probably the saddest shit ever watching a kid cry because he couldn't snowboard. Didn't even end up getting another board. Rented skis twice and then stopped going to the mountain. I saw several people looking for their gear that day. I think there were 8 boards stolen in a short window.

If you steal somebodies gear FUCK YOU. IF your friend steals gear and you don't call them out FUCK YOU. If your a mountain where gear get stolen all the time, and you won't even pretend to care, or even think about throwing up cameras FUCK YOU.(I get that watching footage is boring, but just the camera alone is a deterrent many times. And even if you're too lazy. Im sure the person who's gear got jackets would be willing to scope it out.

Lady at beaver creek was all about busting people. She would sift through footage and be like AH HA! Got the fucker! Then the search would be on.

People who steal shit suck. People who steal that activity that people use to escape all the bullshit in this world, suck more. People ski and snowboard to leave their problems behind, have a great day, or maybe improve a shitty week. Even though it's considered a "rich sport" a lot of people participating are far from loaded, some can't afford another pair of skis or another board. If you take that little bit of joy from their life I hope you get hit by a fucking train.

PS: FUCK THIEVES and scummy people.

Did this happen at Mount Snow last Spring? I was down in the lodge working at Vault and witnessed a truck full of dudes pull up and throw as many boards/skis as possible into the bed of the truck and dip out. Dover Police couldn't get there in time and unfortunately none of the cameras were working. Hopefully the new lodge will have working video surveillance. You've always got to split up/hide your shit when at Snow.

Yeah mt snow 09 10 ish. Mt snow really blows giant donkey dicks on that problem. I get that arent stealing shit, but they did little to nothing about a huge problem that obviously still hasn't gone away.

I dont think the mtn should have legal liability, but its the mtns responsibility to tey and do something or its pretty shitty imo.

Especially when gears is dissapesring by the dozens not the occasional board or two.

I had a pair stolen 2 weeks ago from Gore. A really nice pair of K2 Amps. I hope the culprit breaks his legs on them.

teamSESHLook for someone that’s made several Lil Yachty beats and a couple for Domo and tons for Lil Peep. Let me know when you find me. You were a dick to me for no reason so why shouldn’t I waste your time?

So you are the one who makes all those wack ass beats. Lil Peep is a fool

Yeah dudes just gotta be careful. I was skiing up at Tyrol Basin In WI and we had a backpack that literally only had lunch food in it and my buddy tossed his wallet in it, assuming it was hidden well enough. Come back 2 hours later only to find the bag is gone and obviously so is his wallet. No cash, but cancelled the cards and have the headache of having to reissue all that shit. Anyways fast forward 6 months. My buddy gets a package in the mail and in it is his wallet and our backpack, no food obviously. But apparently, someone found it on the side of the road in the middle of the summer and send everything back to us, using his info found on his I.D.

Just crazy that people steal from others within our own community, It sucks having to think twice about were you leave shit or if everything will still be there when you get back. Couldnt even imagine how i would feel if someone walked away with my Kartels, that would be a very shitty day and a long night at the bar.

DayManGot a pair of ON3P Jeronimos the last year they made them stolen at Steamboat. It was a custom topsheet from an old Cease and Desist graphic. They were my babies and I only had them for like 3 months, it was such a bummer.

Ski theft should be death penalty for sure

My soul died a little reading this. That sucks man
