+/- 10 pairs is quite a bit of range lol

I had a house in college where we easily hit 40 pairs but personally I'm only holding 3-4 pairs these days.

8 if you include my roomates skis. I found two sets of these K2 195cm skis from the early 90s I believe in the garage of this house I'm renting so I'm trying to figure out what to do with them.

I currently have 13 pairs of skis and 2 snowboards. 5 pairs of ski boots and 2 pairs of snowboarding boots. I have kept all of my main skis from when I was in 8th grade from my K2 straight sticks to my ON3Ps. I was planning on making a timeline art piece for our house one day but I have committed to giving some of my old twin tips from the late 90's early 2000's to others.

Maybe 10 pairs at my place in Switzerland. I generally keep ~5 pairs mounted and I move on skis to homies pretty quickly when I'm not using them anymore. Skis are meant to be skied so I try not to hoard them but I have a pair of Elizabeths (snapped, sadly), a couple of SFBs, and a pair of Shreditors that I keep for nostalgia's sake. - @Twig

I’m probably at around 20 pairs right now, a lot of which are old straight skis and Ryan Schmies era K2s. Also probably a dozen snowboards between my 3 roommates

Between the roommate and I I think we're at 7. I would be very surprised if that number doesn't go up by end of year.

poll says yes

I’m going to amend my answer for more details. Reading other comments, I think some context is needed for people’s quivers and my comment was a little misleading.

4 pair I actively use + 1 unmounted spare
2 pairs for my wife
1 pair is my dad’s
1 pair are the J skis that I suspect were stolen and I’m still hoping to find the owner

*Didnt see the part about given away, etc. Probably given away/sold at least 10-15 pairs
