Ultimate Quiver

So my buddies and I were shootin the shit, and got to arguing about how many skis it would take to have a full quiver. I know some people say that their ski is a "one ski quiver" but I think that's complete horse shit. Nothing does everything well. How many skis does it take? My buddy was like 3 but I think it's higher, like 5ish. Help me settle my argument, gentlemen and gentlepinkames

I agree with you, closer to 5 if you include touring, long fatties, playful shorter fatties, all mountain chargers, park, and rock ski. My dream is:

Steeple 112
JJ 2.0
2011 SFB (my favourite skis of all time)
Whipits
Whatever I can find in Sell/Trade for cheap

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Park ski, Pow, Touring setup, Charger, Urban/rock/loaner, and one or two of what people call "one ski quivers" to use for trips, when you don't know what to do, or just to mix it up. I would love a pair of JJ's, a pair of Whipits and a bunch of skis from BST and ebay

Powder, all mountain, park, race/slalom ski. 4 would be fine with me.

True one ski quiver would be skinny carver/mogul ski, playful all mountain/park ski, light midfat pow/touring ski, big mountain charger, pure powder ski IMO

More or less what I have minus the carver, fat skis are more fun anyways

Yeah right now I am rippin the 2011 SFB in the park since my joysticks broke. 115 underfoot is actually super fun. Closest I have to a one ski quiver

Touring ski, Pow ski, an all mountain twin, race ski, a park ski, urban ski, and then a one ski quiver if you take a trip somewhere.

Wouldn't your all mountain be your one ski quiver? My assumption was that the two terms were intercangeable.

I have a three ski quiver
Atomic Bentchetlers (Best ski ever)
Jskis Cats in Space (Yeah I like cats)
and a pair of K2 revivals (for urban)
I wish I had an all mountain ski but there are more important things that my wallet must tend to

Hard snow ski for long stretches in-between storms, I like the new Stockli Stormriders a lot

Soft, playful twin, anything EP has called his pro model would do

versatile everyday ski with a soft snow bias, there are a million skis in this category, my sickles were great for this but I've started grabbing the EHP's more; I really want to try the Billy Goat for this type of ski

a ski for the stupid deep days, probably powboards or protests

and a touring rig

so 5, but if we're talking hypotheticals I want *all* the skis

Nope for a one ski quiver id probably go for something around 100 or so underfoot maybe a tiny bit wider. Then for an all mountain twin I'd go for something a bit narrower more like 85 underfoot. This is also just my ideal setup so in reality I have a park ski, race ski, and pow ski.

So all mountain is like a groomer or charger ski, one not meant to be able to do park and bc as well as groomers, and the one ski quiver can? Thanks for the clarification

Pow Ski, 115-125mm underfoot (Cast touring plates) - 4frnt Renegade
All Mountain Ski, 105-110mm underfoot (Cast touring plates) - 4frnt Devastator
Light Touring Ski, 100-105mm underfoot (tech binding) - Undecided
Park Ski, rocker/camber, 95mm+ that can still get around the mountain. - Rossignol Slat
Park ski, full camber for the large jump days. - Rossignol Storm

This is my idea of the ultimate quiver that I am working towards, still missing Renegades, and a touring specific ski.

Couldn't give specific models but for me:

115-120 pow ski / deep crud charger / out west ski
100 mm all mountain slightly cambered twin tip
85-90 mm park ski / hardpack cruiser
Full blown carving ski

2: Fresh Snow, 110-120, all mountain capable, jibby, Currently Shreditor 112, might change to opus, jeff 114, not sure yet... Yah.

I've always felt like if I were to live out west, a 3-ski-quiver like this would do the trick.

Folsom Rapture (Big-mtn/Pow)
ON3P Steeple 112 (Touring/Soft Snow)
Moment Belafonte (All Mtn Charger)

3 would be pretty much perfect.

Stupid deep/fun pow ski - 194 Surface Balance (formerly New Life) w/ Peak 18's
Touring/light pow - 189 ON3P Steeple 112 w/ Beast 16's
All Mountain - 186 ON3P Kartel 106 w/ Atack 16's

I think that would be good. Maybe some kind of race ski to mess around on.

Right now for NJ I run a center mounted park ski, a full blown race ski, and a rock/fuck around in the woods ski.

I also rockered and rounded out the rock ski so they are my pow skis as well.

Ideally for me

60-70mm cheater 19-23m GS ski (12m SLs gets too jumpy at mach 3)
80-90 true park skis
110-120mm pow skis (with dukes for the occasional tour with the buddies)
80-90mm Urban/rock skis
