Folsom Custom ski stolen from Loon 2/5

[kconn]

I had a new pair of Folsom Custom ski taken from Loon Mountain on Sat 2/5/11. These are very unique skis. The have a Marker Duke binding mounted. Under the binding is my name "Ken Connolly" along with the manufacture date stamped next to my name. The skis are twin tip, 137/107/127 in a 180 length. They are the only skis like it in New England. If you see someone on them, kill them or at least call the police and report the thief. The theft was reported with Loon Security and Lincoln NH Police Dept.

Here is a photo of the skis. If the peson is stupid enough to wear them locally, you would notice them in the lift line.View attachment 4322

Keep an eye on Craigslist and EBay. Something that unique will be easy to spot....theoretically at least.

I have been watching both sites. I would assume the person that took them knew what they were grabbing and intends to keep them for personal use. If they ski Loon again, they will be in for a rude reception. I have about 20 employees and regulars on the look out.

Well I doubt that they would be that stupid but you never know.....

Must have had cable cutters....

You did lock them, didn't you?

 

[kconn]

They were not locked. They were unattended for about ten minutes while I went in the lodge to get my kids.

 

[Puck it]

People really suck!!!!

Another reason not to like Loon.Bummer.Maybe they are dumb enough to use them at Cannon.I'll keep my eyes open.

If i had a dollar for every time I've heard this story - I'd have enough to buy you new skis...

good luck..

I feel for you. Locks are so cheap and simple and small. Skis are too important to take chances. +vibes+ for finding your sticks again

I've become less concerned about my intermediate-level skis but I still lock them up most times and always at larger ski areas. My son has Line Chronics that weren't expensive but have real nice looking topsheets...and I'm always reminding him to keep them locked up.

Best hope for the OP is that the skis are so unique that they will be found.

That blows. I hope they find their way back to you or at least that the guy that took them eats some bark if he's riding them.

 

[tekweezle]

wish they made some sort of mini gps you could glue or embed into your skis and then track them with your cell phone or laptop.

we call it medford north for a reason!

Not only am I so paranoid about ski theft that I always lock my skis, but I always put one ski with my skiing partners ski and lock them, and then lock the other set of mismatched skis a good 20 feet away.

I heard about this at Babes yesterday from a couple of regulars. BB and DC. Word spread.

 

[askstowell]

This stinks. I'd kill someone if my or daughter's equipment ever got taken. We always lock up, even for 10 minutes, or use ski watch if available wherever we go. Was Loon's closed?

It always escapes me why people don't use services like this and then you hear stories like the one here.

If it is the same BC, the instructor, I ran into him as I was leaving. I have a lot of regular weekday skiers that are friends of mine keeping an eye out. I just hope the thief is a really stupid one.
