stolen boards
January 30, 2012
3 snowboards stolen from timberline today. one of which belonged to a local kid, a member of our snowboard team. shawn white series burton board, mainly white with white bindings.
thats horrible... happened to one of my friends a few years back. I don't know how someone could do that
Post this to your local craigslist...and keep an eye on craigslist for anyone selling for ca$h.
I watched two guys pull their vehicle up to the dropoff/pickup spot , put their stuff in and then checkout other peoples stuff. They drove off but thought about it.
We put our stuff in our vehicles if possible or lock it up everytime. I get all of our stuff on some deal, special for our needs and replacing would be a HUGE pain in the butt.
Here's ONE of the STOLEN boards:

Note that it belonged to a kid...
If t-line had ski/board racks like everywhere else in America the opportunity for theft would be greatly reduced. They need to be the kind of racks that you can lock you boards with your own cable. OR why not even have a ski/board check on busy weekends like the past one? It's a money making opportunity for whichever mountain organization want to run it (courtsey, ski/snowboard team, patrol, etc...). Most mountains in America do this.
It would also eliminate to some degree the skis, board, poles, etc... blocking access to everything around the lodge making it customer/user friendly. ARE YOU LISTENING DOC, FRED, TOM???? I had to clear a path on both weekend days from the lodge to the teaching area and to the slope.
Just wait until t-line hosts the USSA races and it'll be worse. If I were a ski thief...
