is calling on Vail Resorts to reinstate a ski check service at the resort. The petition has garnered more than 200 signatures.

“The widespread incidence of equipment theft has cast a significant shadow over our love for the sport and the resort,” the petition reads. “With ever-rising ticket prices and growing resort amenity costs, it seems the least we could expect is a measure of safety and value for our equipment.”

In response to these growing complaints, Stevens Pass VP and General Manager, Ellen Galbraith says safety is a top priority for the resort.

“Reports of equipment theft are low and down from last year at this time, and we want to assure our guests that our team continues to invest in measures and resources to prevent theft,” said Galbraith.

“These include a trained and experienced security team, security cameras at the resort, seasonal lockers available for rent in the base area, and ski locks available at our retail store for $15.”

FOX 13 also contacted the King County Sheriff’s Office to check if any reports had been filed regarding stolen gear at Stevens Pass. They confirmed they are looking into the matter but need more specifics to dig in further.
