"A full ski rack on a busy day at a New Jersey resort has tens of thousands of dollars worth of value, skiers simply hope and trust in the good faith of others to not take their precious equipment. This good faith was betrayed on February 11, 2026 at Mount Peter Ski Area when at least seven skis and poles worth between $4,000-7,000 were stolen amidst a school ski race."
"Throughout the following week, sifting through video surveillance footage rapidly supplied by the mountain along with witness interviews, Warwick PD identified their suspect. On Tuesday, February 17, Kevin R. Malkin of Hopatcong, New Jersey was arrested by Warwick PD. Malkin is charged with Grand Larceny of the Third Degree (theft between $3,000-50,000), a Class D Felony under New York State Law."
"Malkin was working as an event official-ensuring that the race ran smoothly and fairly-but was not an employee of Mount Peter. He has a long history in skiing, where he competed as a youth and then went on to coach a variety of teams located in New Jersey and Pennsylvania."
