It's horrible having your kit stolen :(

I've used one of these for several years. The cable is quite a lot thicker than the usual retractable cable locks sold to skiers. Works via a key.

I just use a good combination lock and a small length of chain to wrap around the bindings. Works fine....thieves usually act quick so as not to get attention and thus anything that slows them up usually deters them.

A friend of mine told me he splits his skis up , well separated in the rack....he reckons that that finding the two matching skis is far to difficult for most in the short time available to nick them!!
Carving leaves me all on edge

I have my name at the top of my skis, so that is a deterent, and in Niederau, the lifties would know.

We also split skis, and try to do them at least three ways. We take our time, and have a good look around at the people sat near. If there are baddies, and they see you have clocked them, that is a deterent.

If I am on my K2 200cm skis, I just drop them in the rack, few people are likely to be attracted, and if they are, I could probably catch them up.......
