A. How many skis do you own?

i own 1 pair that are actually ridable on snow, and one pair that  i can use for urbans and summer setups. I dont think six skis is too much depending on where he lives, what he skis, and what the skis do (park ski, big mountain charging, powder, backcountry jib, all mountain, urban).

three. a pair of super short rossi GS skis, they're like three years old, a pair of super super super short rossi slalom skis, they're four or five years old and a pair of ex-demo shitty twin tips probably four years old. most of my friends who race own at least four pairs of current skis to race on and a pair or two of skis to goof off on. six skis seems a bit much if you don't race but i dunno.

6 really isn't terrible to have if you have the money, why not spend it?

i can see different park skis cuz of flex. stiffer flex for big jumps and noodly ones for butters and such. and a strong edge one for rails

then you have a pure pow ski, and ice ski, a all moutain ski. so its possible

if you are counting like pairs of skis i have in my attic and shit from over the years its like 10 or 15. but right now i only have TM's. but this year i'll have ARVs and probably another park ski. so three by the end of the year

here's how my skis are lined up:

Ninthwards for park, rails and preseason and shittyness

ON3P fatty jib for park and mini golf pow, as well as BC jumps and all-around BC ski

Made'n AK for generally going fast and ripping on mediocre days

Hellbents for pure pow skis, big rip days.

Really he has 4 pairs, I would say the 1260s and Darksides are useless, along with the old all mountains.

I have 4 pairs

06-07 ANT unmounted
05-06 ANT any day unless it hasn't snowed in a week or more
04-05 Dynastar 8800 early season and hard snow days (88mm waist)
01-02 Rossi Bandit XX rock ski

i have 3, scratch wrs (park), t-hall (urban), ANT (big mt), i wish i had one or two more pairs, but i cant justify them yet, once i move out to colorado ill get on those, im thinking bacons as BC jib ski and volkl wall as an everyday work horse

1260s not useless at all he uses them only once in a while in the park and still uses his vokls, and basically only uses his addicts for groomers and few jumps ( i dont know why he wouldnt just wreck the park wit them)
