I will tell some more about my day at Afton Alps. After the pop-can tops incident, we slipped our gear on and went to the ski and snowboard racks. As I was walking to where I had left my skis, I spotted someone, my size, trying on a pair of skis that looked identical to mine. As I drew nearer, I realized that he was trying to take my skis! I walked up behind him and asked for my skis back. His response was a muffled “oh, sorry”, and he then selected another pair to try on! I asked him if he was sure that the newly selected pair was his and he mumbled an unconvincing “yeah”.

I am still upset about that encounter. I knew that Afton was notorious for equipment theft, but I figured it would never happen to myself. I am going to be sure that I bring a lock along with me next time I go skiing. I suggest that all who read this heed my warning, ski theft does happen!
