I'm curious, do you guys lock up your boards when your not using them at the resort? I never do. Nobody does where I ride, people leave their boards and stuff unattended everywhere. This is kinda cool because its always been safe like that there but sometimes I do feel like i'm taking a chance by not locking up my boaMe too, never needed to lock a board before, and I've never seen anyone with one at any Tahoe resorts. I've sometimes left my board in the snow for hours, and I'm always surprised that its still there! Living in CA you learn not to trust anyone. I don't even like leaving anything in my car! SO its a nicelock up that envi! i lock up my grudge. wayyy too much money at stake. you know? but i use the cheap resort locks outside. they're like 0.50 or 0.75 but you cant get the boards out, even if you remove the bindings. and ive seen bindings hanging from a lock before, so i know people have taken boards that way, even locked. jus
Great question. Basically, if it is devastating to you to lose it, then lock it. Even at places where no-one appears to be locking their stuff, it still can happen. My wife got here board stolen out in front of Keystone lodge years ago and it was really sad 🙁

^^Thats reassuring lolI alwayslock up my snowboard. I figure why not because its like your setup is so expensive and a lock is like 10 bucks so why not. And it only takes like 20 seconds to lock
Some resorts have a place where you can check your board in and out. Staff watches over it. Only costs a few bucks I think.
yeah ive done that. The lock valet thing.But the thing is that by the time you use the valet for like 3 days, you might as well have just bought a lock lol. Locks save you money after a while
Some shops sell them. Most are a simple cable lock with combination. Some are built in to your leash. None are exactly the pinnacle of security, but then again most thieves are so out of convenience.http://www.frostyrider.com/shops/frostys_shop.htm?gear=snowboard+lock
Wow I didnt know they made leash locks. Thats pretty nifty lol. jkBut yea onea the larger shops I go to has like a whole rack of them. You shouldnt have much trouble finding a lock
A sad update to the very post that I started-my son got his new Rome Pusher stolen today. Another guy got his board stolen as well. Lesson learned the hard way. We're getting board locks tomorrow…the resort offered to replace his board at dealer cost, which was nice of them. Lock your boards everybody!
Wow, that's unfortunate about your son's board! When you go to the mountain, it is a bit of an escape. You are there to just have fun, so you really don't think about things such as security so much. I guess thieves know that and try to take advantage of that kind of situation. For that reason, I think it isAnd now a happy ending! This is not the norm for stolen boards, we were very very lucky….my son was riding today and spotted his stolen board being ridden, after getting security involved the theifs admitted stealing the board, along with 3 others. Not very smart of them to ride the boards at the same resort they stole thWOW! Well, I guess good things come to good people. I am very happy to see you got the board back and happy ending! I had a similar thing happen with a cellphone I had that got stolen. The Deschutes County Sheriff got involved and did some awesome detective work and I got my phone back after a month or so. (WOW that like
