Skiers and snowboarders continue to complain about stolen equipment

The Park City Police Department last week continued receiving reports of stolen skis and stolen snowboards at or in the vicinity of Park City Mountain Resort and Deer Valley Resort.

Ski and snowboard thefts are common during the busiest times of the ski season, and the period between Christmas and New Year’s is traditionally one of the most bustling stretches of the season.

Some of the cases reported in the last week included:

A snowboard was reported stolen at 10:15 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 4 on the 1300 block of Lowell Avenue, where PCMR is located.

A snowboard was reported stolen at PCMR sometime before 3:34 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 3.
