Why would you need 5 pairs of skis?

I don't know why some of the guys on the setups thread have like 5, 7, 10 pairs of skis. I dont know why you would need more than 3. Think about it, If you had a pair of AR6s, Seths, and some Prophets, what else would you need. I could handel any condition with thoses.

It's nice to have a variety of skis for different things, or in case a pair breaks or something while you ski. Right now I only have a couple of pairs, but I plan on getting one or two more pairs by next season.

Yeah I made do with one pair. Now I have a few I Think it just boosts the enjoyment if you ski a different pair for different terrain. If I choose the wrong pair its no big deal I can still ski the carver in powder/bumps.

Why "make do" with a limited set of skjis if you could afford 5+ pairs? There was a thread about this is the ski equipment forum. Any ski is going to be a compromise in performance in certain conditions. Yes, you could ski something like a Vicious everywhere pretty well, but there are better park skis, better powder skis, better carving skis, better touring skis, etc, etc, etc. So if you could afford it, why not get skis specialised for every type of skiing?
