How many skis are necessary?

Depends on the money you have. I only have one pair but 2 would be ideal: One pair on the so-so days that are mid-fat ie. Scratch Bc. And a pair for booter and powder,ie. Gotama. there, that's my dream line up since we don't have a park.
 
i think 3 is plenty

a park ski

pow ski

pipe and jump ski that doesnt touch rails

and an urban ski

so thats four skis but whatever

i have skis
 
must be nice to be rich, if i had 2 pairs of skis i wouldnt be riding ones without 8 inchs of edge on the tail...
 
I have 3 pairs...but only 2 are really nessisary depending where you live...

Eastcoast- 1 pair of crappy cheap one for urban, and one for park all mountain...

Westcoast-1 pair of wide skis for powder/park, and a pair for the park/urban.

I have been lucky enough to get 3 pairs of skis...but i honestly only need 1 pair.
 
I have scratch fs for park and I use the volkel five stars for pow and steeps cuz they turn well, only problem is that there not twin tips.
 
WOW! I consider it a great year if I get 20 days in the season. I guess thats why I only use one pair of skis.

Well, I understand wanting and/or having skis for all the different purposes. BUT, do you take all three or four with you to the mountain? Like, if I am up skiing, I want to hit rails, then some jumps, maybe powder if we have it (which is rare) and I want to carve all the time. So do you guys go to the car and switch skis everytime you decide to go to the park or hit some rails?
 
i have 1 pair of skis, my red fujatives. i use em for everything because they work for everything quite well and they dont break, ever! 1 pair is all i need!
 
i just have one pair, and i use thewm for everything, from urban to park, to trails. (wedon't get powder in P.A.) they are last year's PE's and they are fine.
 
one for rails/urban

one for all around park (its a bit fat for my trips out west..if i get any)

and one for pipe: longer, unbroken
 
ive got a bunch i ski a lot and i usually get a new pair every few weeks and sell off the ones i dislike.

Gun Lad-deep pow charging

VCT- deep pow through the trees and jibing

MSP supermodel- straight line

Butters-park/pipe

ignigion-(06/07 nordica twin) just a new ski to get the kids looking

Rossignol Z9- carving on the hard pack

Ar5- whenever ski

Salomon F1- beer league race ski

all are current 05/06 skis.. don't be a hatter just play the game...
 
i have 3 fujis for park, msps for everything, and madens for pow. im selling the madens tho becuz im going back to mn in a week, but i was going to sell the fujis cuz i never use them here in pc.
 
i have two.. chronics and invaders.. it really just comes down to the morning i am going and what i feel like skiing on..
 
1 pair for: city rails

2 pairs for: park rails

1 pair for: park jumps/comps

1 pair for: FAT ASS SKI for powpow

1 pair for: powpow Jibbing aka landing switch in powpow

me: i only have one pair
 
i think one old pair of park skis for urban n an all mountain freestyle ski (like the line mothership flite)is fine
 
I have 2 skis. my old skis, and my new skis. they get to serve dual purpose, park, pow, all mountain, urban, looking cool. . . all that good shit.

Just ski for christs sake, if you can get more skis, then rock on.
