PARK CITY, Utah — A suspect was arrested on January 17 for allegedly stealing multiple skis and snowboards from the Sundial Resort at Park City Mountain Canyons Village and attempting to sell them online, according to the Summit County Sheriff’s Office.

The thefts occurred on January 16, with video surveillance showing the suspect making multiple trips to the resort’s ski racks to take the items. Descriptions of the stolen gear matched listings later found on Facebook Marketplace, prompting detectives to arrange an undercover operation,” Skyler Talbot, Senior Public Relations Liaison for the Summit County Sheriff’s Office said.

Detectives contacted the seller and arranged to meet in Park City, where an undercover operation was set up. The suspect was arrested by uniformed deputies and detectives after the transaction was completed. The suspect was arrested in Park City during the transaction and booked into jail on felony theft charges, including possession of stolen property.

Investigators recovered additional stolen items, which are being returned to their owners. Authorities urge anyone with more information about the case to contact law enforcement.
