How many skis are necessary?

I saw pics of some setups where they had like four pairs of twins. I can understand like different racing or powder skis, but is it that beneficial to have so many pairs of skis? Do you go that often? Enlighten me, I am all ears.

Depends on the money you have. I only have one pair but 2 would be ideal: One pair on the so-so days that are mid-fat ie. Scratch Bc. And a pair for booter and powder,ie. Gotama. there, that's my dream line up since we don't have a park.

i think 3 is plenty
a park ski
pow ski
pipe and jump ski that doesnt touch rails
and an urban ski

I have 3 pairs...but only 2 are really nessisary depending where you live...
Eastcoast- 1 pair of crappy cheap one for urban, and one for park all mountain...
Westcoast-1 pair of wide skis for powder/park, and a pair for the park/urban.
I have been lucky enough to get 3 pairs of skis...but i honestly only need 1 pair.

I have scratch fs for park and I use the volkel five stars for pow and steeps cuz they turn well, only problem is that there not twin tips.

WOW! I consider it a great year if I get 20 days in the season. I guess thats why I only use one pair of skis.

Where I live, there is no bc, no powder, and no urban unless you want to ski on cement or dirt.

Well, I understand wanting and/or having skis for all the different purposes. BUT, do you take all three or four with you to the mountain? Like, if I am up skiing, I want to hit rails, then some jumps, maybe powder if we have it (which is rare) and I want to carve all the time. So do you guys go to the car and switch skis everytime you decide to go to the park or hit some rails?

those are all under the same classification, park. so you would only need 1 pair^. stop wasting money

I have 2 skis. my old skis, and my new skis. they get to serve dual purpose, park, pow, all mountain, urban, looking cool. . . all that good shit.
Just ski for christs sake, if you can get more skis, then rock on.
