Banff Quiver

Hey friends,
I'm an aussie heading over this year for the season in banff, and coming from aus I don't have a quiver, as I've never really needed one, but I'm interested in start one, and going to try pick up some decent deals as people sell off skis here.
Basically, I'm after the three types of skis you guys would recommend for a season in Banff, of anywhere similar. One of those slots already has a set of race skis, for instructing, leaving a set of all mountain/park skis (thinking CT2.0), and pow orientated skis.
How would you guys fill these two slots? 100ish twin, and a 115-120? Cheers

TLDR: Best two sets of skis for Banff

Which resort are you riding at? If mostly LL or Sunshine then your quiver setup sounds good. 2.0 is a sick ski and will defo work for park/all-mtn. Probs mount them at Candide's recommended point if theyre doubling up as a park ski as I find that point is a best of both worlds mark. Pow wise, I guess the usual NS recommendations of JJ, Kartel 116 etc. would fit the bill nicely.

Also Banff is dope, youre gonna have a sick time

For the pow slot I strongly recommend the Catamaran from K2. I've tried a few pow skis like Faction CT 4, Black Crows Nocta, Armada 116 JJ, Nordica Enforcer Pro and LINE sick day 114 and found the Catamarans by far the most intuitive, fun, and floaty. It's admittedly not much of a charger because of the soft flex but for a fun pow ski thats jibby it's spot on. Carves a nice turn on groomers when you need it to as well!

CT 2.0 or even the 3.0 if you're like 80/20 Mountain/Park. For your pow ski I'd recommend looking at the JJ and Line Opus if you're a bit jibbier or the Moment Bibby for a freestyle charger.
