how many of you guys have multiple pairs of skis? i have my all mountain skis and my mogul skis, and im looking into buying some fat backcountry skis. i was wondering if it is common to have multiple skis because im getting loads of crap from friends and family for haveing 2 (soon to be 3) pairs of skis. they all say that i should get one pair for everything, but i dont think that they understand that different skis serve different purposes. what do you guys think?

Are some skiers trying to copy snowboarding?

I only have one pair of skis (Line Ostness Dragons), but it's the right tool for the job (telemark freeride). I'm all for matching your skis to your skiing - if a quiver is what you need, a quiver is what you get, right? Some people (like me) need that Bandit XX/B2 go anywhere and do anything ski, while others need their specialized skis (one for park, one for pow, one for moguls) - it's all about gettin' what you need.

I've only got one right now, blue 1080s, but I'm looking to get some pistols for big mountain and powder. If I had the money I'd have another pair of park specific (save the 10s for rails) and a pair of atomics for ripping the groomers and racing.

I think that most people do have more than just the one pair of skis, since most people do more than one kind of skiing. I’ve got the Line 1260s for park, the Line Skogens for all mountain, and Line Motherships for big mountain. But for most people it comes down to money. But the investment into different types of skis is worth it, ski'um for what they are designed for, and they will last alot longer.
