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.
