If You could ONLY Own 1 Pair of Skis.....

Nowadays most of us hardcore (yes i used hardcore) skiers have quivers of skis that range any where from 3-10 or even more. My question is, if you were stuck with making the decision of owning only 1 set of planks, what would they be? Length? Year? Bindings? This to me sounds hard for anyone who rides multiple skis throughout the year, so please just list one pair for the sake of choosing.

You may anger a certain someone who does not like the word "quiver"
But I have to wait till my 175 Armada ARVs come in the mail to tell.

they have been said a few times already... the 08/09 Blends in a 183. i own a pair and they would for sure be my last pair of skis if i had to sell everything i had. they kick so much ass everywhere. it's kind of ridiculous actually.

i really only have one set of skis, for all practical purposes. i do have a pair of tele's that i never use, and old pairs that are only for emergencies.

for my real one ski quiver, i bought a pair of 187 districts this year, look p12's.
