Not necessarily true... granted I dont own 12 pairs of skis... but I ski on two pairs of skis in a given day probably 70% of the days I go out... because I have the edges all rounded under foot on my park skis for rails... so they are useless bordering on dangerous on the east coast ice... so if I want to ski anything other than park i have to switch skis... So I ALWAYS bring at least two pairs with me to the mountain.

Personally I dont think you can ever have too many skis... I love them... I look at it almost like a collection... skis kick ass.

My line up for this season:
03-04 Rossi Scratch FS 170 - Urban/early season
05-06 Rossi Scratch BC 171 - Some Park.... BC jib ski
06-07 K2 Seth 179 - All mountain everyday
07-08 Moment Reno Jib 181 - Pure Park
07-08 BlueHouse District 187 - Powder/Charging

And then I have some old Salomon verse 8s but I dont count those cause I havent ridden them in a few years.

^yeah i get what ur saying, but with 12 pairs, you could have 2 pairs for every type of skiing out there.

Last year I had:
Anthems
Blends
Bacons

Not sure what this year holds.. Haven't really decided.

Maybe Watch Lifes and Live Life 2's.

-Unless I had a steady well paying job and still was able to ski a lot 6 is too many to make use of for me.

3 pairs
07 invaders
06 PEs
And some real shitty rossi carving skis that are really short. Use for backyard

6 is way too many, at least to all be used. The ones not skied on in 3 years probably don't really count.

i dont race its just some little race my hill held and the winner each weekend in march got a pair. they have a rental shop for all the gapers at my hill and those are the "performance" skis even though you are totally right in the fact they are begginner skis. my step dad likes them for some reason so i let him use them.
