Am I overanalyzing this? Should I just pick up any old cable lock?
yea, no need to over anaylze. just pick up a cheap cable lock. you don't need anything heavy duty, theives will see the lock and move onto the next ski, no use drawing attention by clipping something, they are interested in a quick walk by grab.

Has anyone planned to always lock their skis and then found they just didn't bother after a while? I think it's an all-or-none commitment. After all, a pair of skis getting lifted that you usually lock is worse than if you never lock at all...
it takes only a few seconds to put a cable lock around skis. i always do so even at places like burke, mrg, magic, etc. the solution to not feeling worse if you only occasionally lock your skis is to just do it all the time, other than that you are simply making a justification to not lock them. heck, i'll even lock my rock skis (granted they are only a few years old and theives don't bother to check the bases ).
