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.

09 179cm K2 Kung Fujas w/ Jesters centre mount

The Oakley decal looks perfect on the Lines, and there's a brand new pair of the same T-Halls in my local ski shop that no one has bought yet, they're such nice skis probably one of Armadas nicest

I have the jmos and find they're sooo stiff, I like the quick rocker though and they're a good all around ski, have yours flexed out at all yet?

Durrrrr I would own a fucking pair of K2 Revivals, fucking center mounted. Wide enough for small pow days up to 6 in. (then you gotta start working), yet a baller ass all-mountain, even bumps (yes I fucking was a freestyle skiier for a while), and park they're a breeze. They are seriously the best single quiver ski unless you're older than dinosaurs. Then please pick up some stiff as shit, "fucking cool!" big mountain head/dynastar/boner skis.

I had to make that decision this summer because baggage allowances in South America are tiny. Went with 186 Gotamas with Dukes.

Might end up buying some park skis in Bariloche though, will see what the park is like and how expensive gear is.

It would be hard, if its just for park then 155 afterbangs, next years with fks center mounted. But if it would be for everything then 164 revivals, this year with schizios.
