So what have you scored this season from skiing lift lines or just generally, or all time?
Me so far this season
A voile strap and some Smith sunnies
In return I have made a donation to the slope gods of a pocket bottle of factor 50.
All time best score an FRS radio back when they were a thing. A mate found a video camera once buried back in the days before go pros and smartphones. I assume go pros are common swag nowadays.

Sort of, but not quite...found some really special gloves left in a bubble on the way to the top of Bernkogel in Saalbach.
Being a decent chap, I handed them to the lift operator at the top.
At some point after that week of skiing I lost my lovely RAB gloves (not on piste, just lost) - never to be seen again.
Karma? How's that bloody work??

A Black Diamond powder basket.
Ski tourers often post lost and found items on the FB group. It's amazing how many people seem to drive off without half their stuff which they've inadvertently left in the carpark

Lost a pair of reactolite sunglasses.
Regarding ski lifts, I don't want to give you lot ideas but I found a stack of money and a gold watch under a local chair after the spring thaw and have always vowed to go back with a metal detector. Watch handed in to tourist office - it was a wedding pressie for someone.

The Police Municipale have a huge cupboard full here of lost property. I went with a friend recently. Numerous wallets, glasses, phones, sets of keys, etc. In the winter season one guys full time job is perdu et trouvé

Whilst on a stop on our coach journey home, having got to the UK, one of our group found a wallet in the toilets, with nearly a grand in cash in it!
It had the licence of a gent from Scotland in. As we went back to our coach, we spotted who we thought might the gent - a coach driver with a Scots coach firm.
We asked him his name, he scowled...it was him. We asked him if he had lost anything. He scowled again.
We gave him his wallet. He scowled some more. Not a word of thanks.
To a man, we agreed we should have kept it.

Found an almost brand new snowboard and bindings at the bottom of an off piste gully with a big walk out......
That would have been great apart from the fact it was my daughters which she had lost a few weeks before and that I had already paid a load of money to replace!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

@NickYoung, that reminds me of a group of detectives we met in a chalet once.
They were fairly accomplished skiers and very accomplished drinkers, always frequenting the same bar as they had for several years. A couple of days in, one of them lost his wallet containing several hundred Euros, his drinking fund for the week. He was generally comatose whenever I saw him, so that didn’t really surprise me, but much to his shock the barman handed it back to him when he returned to the bar the next evening.
He was clearly very pleased, as were his mates, but he couldn’t understand why anyone would do such a thing (I guess 30 odd years in the police will do that to you). “Well,” I said, “a man with no money may not hang around drinking, but a happy bloke with his pockets full of cash is likely to carry on. You’ll still spend all of it in the bar, so the barman wins either way, but this way he gets all your mates’ cash too and you’ll come back next year.” Before he passed out again, I think he may have agreed.

I found 200 skis stood up in a stand outside a mountain hut. Win!
Really I just found the specs that I had lost the day before, handed in to lost property. Canadians are very honest.

You know it makes sense.

A pair of brand new skis, off-piste in late April. I'd been looking for them since being told by a fellow seasonnaire that he'd lost them around there in powder (no powder traces - an expensive omission) in January. As he'd already gone home at the end of his job with his TO I took them back to the UK, contacted him & he had to schlep from the deep south upto Huddersfield to get them back.

Up to date I've now found 3 phones in Tignes. 2x I Phones (one Russian) and a Samsung. (Dutch owner). Last season found a GoPro attached to an extending monopole whilst skiing off-piste. All handed in at either the "Maison" or the Police Municipale.

Heard a story once of someone who skied all day and then 'found' their contact lens solution bottle in their boot! (You know who you are )

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I did this last season With a group planning an off-piste session, but the conditions weren't in and we went to the park instead. It was a baking hot spring day, so we dumped all the avi kit, jackets, poles etc. at the top and then carried on. Only when I couldn't beep through the gate did it occur to me that my pass was still in my jacket at the top of the park! Luckily, the lift was halfway up the mountain which I must've got to somehow (clearly not a ski tourer) so I managed to persuade my way back up.
