Do those littel cable locks really work? I can only imagine that they
are pretty easy to cut through witha pair of wire cutters.


A friend of mine was in
Courchevel a few years ago at a pit-stop by a piste, when a skier came
past
and simply swiped a pair of skis stood up in the snow, without even
stopping. My son and a mate had three pairs nicked from their apartment
balcony in Val d-Isere 13 months ago - it seems the thief climbed up the
drain pipe to reach them!
Not at all unusual, I've heard of this happening a few times.


I write my name on my skis with a big thick indelible marker.

Oh good! I always wondered how to recognize you if I'll go back to
Flims once again :P
