SKI 15 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Swiss police say thieves took a 100kg safe from a youth hostel in a ski resort and apparently used a stolen snowboard to make off with it. Police in the Swiss canton of Graubünden said someone broke into the building in Valbella, in the south-east of the country, on Monday night or in the early hours of Tuesday. They took the safe from the hostel's office, along with an unspecified quantity of cash and cheques. A snowboard was also taken and police said in a statement that they believe it was used to transport the safe. Police appealed for information from anyone who might have seen anything suspicious.

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Sounds to me like a snowboarder was the innocent victim of theft of their property which was then used to perpetrate another crime. Bit like when some unsavoury peeps paid us a nocturnal visit, grabbed keys and cash and made off with our car, then used it in a series of ram raids for a few days before being caught.

Chriselle 158 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Ripping off a safe from a hostel....Haha....unspecified quantity of cash... That's way too far off our (skiers) radar. Link to post Share on other sites

yamabushi 3 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Speaking of douchebag skiers, yesterday I had the chance to show a fine group of five skiers some fine powder in Hakkoda. They were a fun group to hang out with (Chris, if you see this, send me a note). Every pot smoking snowboarded should get a douche bag skier asigned to them to help break trail Link to post Share on other sites

seemore 66 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Telemarkers are only Skiers if they are gnarly off piste dudes. (although it does look hard) Seemore (ex skier) Link to post Share on other sites
yamabushi 3 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 One of the most impressive displays of skill I have seen was a skier, with the heels unlocked, coming down the mogul field in hakkoda at full speed and without even using the poles (not on the moguls themselves but on the chopped to hell area next to it). He didn't even look like he was straining himself, just in a hurry to get back to the gondola. Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I've seen tele skiers going down steep icy moguls in perfect control...that's Link to post Share on other sites
