beachiegirl2ski Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I just saw on channel 10 news that there are alot of skis and snowboards going missing. They said that at BC this is happening alot! Its the only mountain that they mentioned. They did say that the mountain has increased security. make sure you check or lock your equipment up!!

Shadows Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 doesnt BC have that free ski check? they have the signs and the spots for it, but they dont use it or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I was at BC last thursday mornin and they didnt have the ski check open. There were hardly any people on the slopes so i'm thinkin that they might only have it open evenings and weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike0100 Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 make sure you check or lock your equipment up!! make it a good lock ... my friend had his board stolen and it was locked..

Hopefully it will cut down on the number of thefts at BC. I have heard of stuff being stolen from out of the Ski School room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year i picked up a thick somewhat like a bike lock .. i reccomend a thick lock i think im going to start with the thick bike lock idea as well. at single lodge pocono mountains, its even better than a portable lock.

I have heard of stuff being stolen from out of the Ski School room. ski school room isn't too safe. i know a pair of skis were stolen from there last year and i had my personal(not uniform) jacket stolen from in there last season as well. thin locks suck, gotta go with a good thickness bike lock for sure or use the ski check when it's open.

Here's the deal with locks, they will stop someone who would walk by and pick up your gear, but someone who is out to steal can cut any of the cable locks pictured in seconds. Not wire cutters mind you, but cable cutters. I have a pair of twenty dollar bicycle cable cutters that will snip one of the kryptonite locks in two snips, at a couple seconds a snip its very quick. Before anyone asks why I know this, I have worked in bike shops for many years and we regularly have people who have lost their key/combo and need locks cut off. If your wondering, Ulocks can be broken very quickly, and Kryptonite had an issue with older locks being able to be picked with a bic ben body.

BadMrFrosty Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Channel 10 was at BC yesterday talking to people about it. Hmm.... can't someone just take your bindings off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmavic Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 yeah i was there yesterday when channel 10 was there. was wondering what was going on. they didnt have the complimentary ski/board check running earlier, but later it was. good to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidude Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Hmm.... can't someone just take your bindings off? It woudl be hard to be standing there unscrewing bindings to a board locked to a rack. It would deffinatly raise an eyebrow or 3. Plus it goes back to is it easier to steal a unlocked board that you can grab and be gone, or one where you have to break a lock with?

romemadman Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 yea i usually lock it on teh heel cup but they say u shouldn't lock it there where do u guys lock it onto your board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoHigh Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Speaking of ski and board check, Camelback doesn't have that. I wouldn't be suprised if most thefts happen at Camelback. Why doesn't Camelback have a ski and board check, like Blue and Bear has? I am mad at them because they don't have that check . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 planker Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 blue mountain had a buttload last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidude Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 blue mountain had a buttload last year. Blue mountain was, and always will be the place to go to get your skis stolen. Even with the ski check I hear they are still averaging like 5 pairs stolen every 'shift', which I assume is 8 hours. I know the night before the race they had 9 pairs stolen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidude Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 No, i just mean they are getting stolen from the racks, and being reported stolen to the guys in the ski check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 his got stolen at hunter i think .. people that steal other peoples equipment are scumbags ! -No better way to put that. Hmm.... can't someone just take your bindings off? I guess it would be harder for me- i have drake bindings, with the disc covers. (it's only 2 more screws, but that's 2 more than a regular board. Oh man, and what if you have a burton!? That's two less!) I have an older bike lock that i thought of using. At blue and boulder, i use the ski/board check. At camel, i use the $.75 board lock.

Metz the Jersey boy Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Rode the lift with a Ranger at Cb yesterday, and he told me that over 12,000 in equipment was stolen from blue last month... double that at CB... this is a big problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
