Those look pretty good, but the ski area has to have the compatible racks to make it any use. I've only seen them at one of the areas that I've been to...

fwiw...
I've picked up a 2nd cable-lock and I chain em' together, giving me the needed length for whatever type of hitching post is present. The 2nd cable might be 30seconds more work, but it'll work with anything...and the 2nd one coils up pretty tight.

I use a computer lock--Defcon 2. It works fine.

I normally lock my skis up if I'm away for a longer period, don't if I'm going to be within eyesite of the skis or only gone for a short period of time. I just use one of those ski locks no special brand have two both are different brands. Neither will prevent someone from robbing my equipment, but both are detterents. I've been using them for years.

Well, after a couple of incidents at Sunapee this year involving other people's skis, I always lock ours now. I also had an incident when my skis were "borrowed" in 2002. They did come back...after a run.

I always use a lock now...it's not much of a deterrent for my skis since I can't loop the cable through the bindings, but if someone sees the lock I'm guessing they wouldn't bother.

Besides, I don't know why anyone would want to take a 2 YO pair of Atomic C8s in any case...they're not exactly high end skis.
