Ski Theft

Happened to me at the Signal Restaurant in VDI two years ago.
I now carry and use a ski cable lock.

I use one of those as well and I appreciate the determined, professional would not be deterred, but I think the opportunist would look elsewhere. It also prevents the taken wrong skis scenario. I also like those heavy-duty ski racks at lift stations that cost a Euro; they seem an excellent solution.

And a lock also stops someone picking up the wrong skis which is the likely problem to face.

How is it going with the device? Did you work on it?

I'm guessing the skis were secure but unfortunately "Snow-man was" Stolen ........

Three legs - and all different sizes?
You're weird!

...but at least he can be sure that if his skis go missing he only has to locate a lopsided thief with three legs... that should narrow the suspects down a bit.
