Help! Switched Skis?

[liv4fun]

Somehow my daughter's rental skis from Wicks got mixed up with someone else's rental skis. Meaning... the skis I have are not the skis I came with. The skis I have are volkl 724 pro jr. size 110. These have the letters BD written in Sharpie on them. The skis I am looking for are volkl vertigo, size 100.

 

I believe the switch occured Friday night, 1/19 at Bear Creek in the racks out front.

 

Any info appreciated, even if you know where rental skis with BD on them come from.

Are the rental skis you took from the same shop? Usually there is a sticker as to what shop owns them. Your best bet is to go back to the shop from which the skis you have came. Hopefully it is the same shop as the ones yours are from, but if not - find that shop and return them. The shop should have the serial numbers on file so that they can find the renters of the skis. It would be nice if the person took your skis, but it might be such that now there are several people with the wrong skis - or the person left with no skis thinking his were stolen and doesn't have yours.

 

Usually these sort of things work out, it happens about a dozen times a year at my shop, we end up with Pelican's skis and send them back over there, multiple of our customers have each others skis etc. I would also recommend bringing all the rental gear you have back and getting the bindings check to make sure you have it all in order because if you have someone elses skis - even if the boots click in the settings could be wrong and the bindings won't release when your kid falls. Then in the future get a retractable lock, and just lock all your skis together through the brakes so they won't get mixed up.

You should check with Bear creek lost and found. I found some junior skis Saturday morning out on the racks outside the lodge and turned them into Guest Services.

Thanks for the suggestions. I did look at Bear Creek lost and found on Sunday and nothing was there. I also took the skis to Wicks and they said the skis were not theirs.

 

The only clue is the BD written on them with permanent marker.

 

I'm still looking!

 

Again, thank you for your help.

I would search www.yellowbook.com by placing bear's zip code in the "where" field and ski rental in the "what" field and see if any shops with BD come up. It may be worth a shot.
