I'd be gutted to lose my K2 one luvs. They changed the spec after I bought mine - I just couldn't imagine skiing on anything else.

Nearly all US ski areas big and small have a ski check. Often this is free, though some charge a small fee. It's such a small overhead for a ski area, but such a huge convenience for skiers.
because I'm so inclined .....

Take precautions, however if somebody really wants them they will get them

The BBR is a pretty obvious ski and it won't take a tea-leaf long to locate them both... even if they're not watching you as you arrive.

I would've thought it'd be top of the list of skis to nick - definitely lock, or don't leave unattended.


I dont have BBR's. Mind you, my Neo's and my wifes K2's are pretty stand out with their coloured bases so maybe its not such a good idea

I think your 8000's are from 2005 Wickers. High time for a new pair, but what to replace them with? Difficult to find a lightweight ski with a tough topsheet/tough base/wood core that will do the all mountain stuff with ease.
