So I think I've answered the question of whether anyone will stop someone who is taking apart a locked snowboard.
No.
I know this because today my lock seized up (the kind you put in the end of the rack arm) and I couldn't unlock it to get my board out. So I took apart my binding and slipped the board out, and no one said shit. Mind you, ppl may have seen me trying to unlock the damthing and screaming at it, so either they figured it out or decided I'm too dangerous to confront

I leave my Vapor unlocked but keep my eyes on it. I really don't stop for lunch all that ofter so it's never really a problem. After riding, it goes in the truck before beers in the village.

I just got my board and the first thing I got was a 4' master lock rope for it. My little hill is just a hole in the wall, but people steal stuff there all the time. All of the racks are right on their way to the parking lot, so folks pick up a boar and are at their car in less than a minute. You'll usually find your board at a pawn shop after that.
how many snowboards do you think you can lock up per lock

...lesson learned bossThree or four with a cable lock. 2 with a ski key.
A good trick I saw with a ski key if the board slots are full (and not with some dickheads ski poles, but with actual locked boards) is that you can lock the heel loop of your binding in a ski slot with the ski key.
Yes, I lock every time now. Avoid the lines at ski check (and charge). I don't care if it's not cool, or whatever, but I just dropped way too much on my Lib Tech TRS with Union Force Bindings to leave it there. Maybe if I had a cheaper board, but brand new no way.
It;s really piece of mind - If I lock it, I can wander around and not worry about it.

My swiss friends laughed at me when I busted out the lock. Only my South African friend knew what I was doing. Too many days spent in Tahoe has left me paranoid. I don't lock here, but board is typically never out of site. And if anyone compliments my board or bindings I grab them by the neck and shout, "don't steal my shit!"

Are all those areas places where someone can walk off with gear/not having to ride down?
I mean we only have one base area where someone could actually inconspicuously walk away with a piece of equipment. Everywhere else is only accessed by lifts and riding away with a board strapped on and one in hand would be the only way to do it or putting two boards on the down chair. Both would obviously raise some big questions.
Never happens here that I know of anyway.

No need to ride down. Infront of restaurants loads of boards/skis are stored unattended and ppl inside having lunch, out of sight.
