Someone Just Stole All Their Ski Gear
Just days after Sugarbush employees found out their mountain was closing for the season and many would be out of jobs sooner than expected, they woke up to discover this too: someone had stolen staff gear, skis and snowboards.
According to Sugarbush Communications Director John Bleh, “14 employees had gear stolen. Skis, boots, helmets, snowboards, goggles. It was put in a tub we use to move event stuff and dragged across the snow to Snow Creek. Someone living there saw a white minivan with Vermont plates parked near where the tub was found.” There was no evidence of forced entry but on top of that –a sign of the times — they also took hand sanitizer from the Guest Services desk. “I don’t believe any toilet paper was taken but we are still investigating what is missing,” said Bleh.
This morning the following post appeared on local websites. At present, the resort is making a list of all stolen items and asking that folks keep an eye out for stolen gear being sold online.
Here’s a Go Fund Me page to help replace the equipment. Please keep a lookout for it on resale sites and social media and consider what you can do to help these folks out.
If these items are recovered, funds will be donated to The Vermont Foodbank and gear returned. Thank you!
