Do I need two pow skis?

for the last few years iv used my new life's for any deep snow and my park skis for the rest. recently picked up some blogs as an all mountain/chopped pow ski. haven't had a chance to use them in suitable conditions and I'm wondering if I will regret getting rid of my new life's on really deep days. I ski in the pnw (mainly Snoqualmie/alppy and the surrounding areas) so I ski a lot of heavy snow. it could be nice to have sell the new life's and have some cash for some Trekkers and skins for some light touring. I like my new life's a lot and didn't buy the blogs to replace them but I'm wondering if that could with out sacrificing to much on deep days. anyone have a suggestion?

I think you can never have enought skis, theyre like cars to me (or so i wish). All differnt and enjoyable in many ways. I have Bibbys and im looking to get a mid-fat or even something like a Hellbent to mess around on.
But no, you don't need 2 pow skis

Yes, it would be awfully hard to ski in the deep with only one

I always have two powder skis. One for my right and one for my left.

Sell the new lifes, and avoid buying Trekkers. Throw something like an Atomic Tracker on the Blogs, and you'll be set for skiing everywhere.

In the case of two pow skis, I've always wanted to do it, never the money though.
I'd have a fat charger, and a fat jibby one. Only way to justify it.

I had blogs last year and I never needed anything more but I have always wanted hell bents, I got some over the summer but have since gone back to my blogs and plan on skiing them everyday for a long time. So no, don't worry about it.

A wise man once told me "Skis are like golf clubs. You can play golf with just a 5 Iron but it sure helps to have a driver, putter, wedge ect."

I have no problem skiing deep on my blogs. Yes I realize I'm in CO and not WA but I've ski'd that type of snow and had a blast on the blogs. I'd do what someone said above and throw trackers/guardians on them
