Go back to the resort or call. I know that particular brand isn't cheap. Report it! I'd hate to hear about it rotting/rusting.

If you believe this while I was at Snowmass, CO last year I lost a 95$ scott carbon fiber pole and I was heartbroken! A few weeks later I got it back, thankfully for me it didn't get ran over by a groomer. 8)
Uh oh, I think I broke'd the lift

You any plans to visit again in the summer? Just make sure the lift company know about it.

There is a market for single skis especially in the US but most of these are fat powder skis as you can imagine 8)

will your insurance not cover this sort of thing?

I don't think a ski will take long burial really, water/ice/snow will find the way into the ski and freeze/thaw will then trash it. So, your chances or recovering a good ski in the summer is a bit remote.

There's been a lot of epic digging going in recently :D Even I have started to wear powder trails :D

yup, but much worse they've got "SNOW and ROCK" written on them, I'm sure I've another pair somewhere with something less naff on them like "I'M A PUNTER" or similar :lol:
