- Ski with a friend. When you reach the base lodge (or wherever you're
- going to take your skis off), swap a ski with your friend. Put
- your skis far apart on different racks. This will help prevent (a)
- theft, and (b) the more common error, when someone who has a
- ski/binding combination very similar to yours takes your skis by
- mistake.
