Chalk one up for the ignorance column :flame:

But really, just tongue in cheek. Except in comparison to the turn earners. :wink:

You're pretty funny-how's the bump skiing been lately? I'm skiing on Monday or Tuesday, it should be fun.

Atomic SX 10 170 cms w / Neox 412's got em, luv em, ski the crap outta them, bought another pair cuz i like em so much

I've skied those skis a few times..they're actually fairly similar to my Atomic LT11s..maybe a touch stiffer..I'm not a fan of the Neox binders..The way it grips the toes of the boot is weird..

I liked my Atomic Metron m11s for an all terrain ski.

I'd be (and have been for the last 3 seasons) very happy with my Atomic B5 Metrons. So much so that after my 1st pair sustained a "terminal injury" last December, it was a no brainer for me to pick up the same ski (only change id the graphics). For me and my skiing ability/style, the 172's I have will handle everyhting from the bluest of ski to the deepest powder, short turns, long turns, mashed potatoes, trees, bumps, etc. It's a serious love fest between me and those skis!

fischer watea 94...they'd be a little wide for the boiler plate days but sunday river blows some good snow and there's almost always something soft to find. For a 94 waist they're really good on hard snow...skied more days on them last year than anything else in the quiver.

My Rossi Scratch Sprayer BCs (88mm at the waist) were a great east coast ski for last season. They were surprisingly good for goose stomping in the moguls and were fun for busting through the crud and the mad sweet and low granuler sugar snow which we get alot of in the Poe Con Ose...

I'm extremely happy with my Dynastar Legend 8000s. Great all around mid-fat ski that's still great on groomers. Probably similar to the Bandit B2. I think I only used my Volkl 5stars once last year becuase these performed so well for me.

...one ski...?...

Changed...
Yeah, I think the one ski would be my Mythic Riders(Dynastar)..always prefer the ride in the fresh..:grin:
..Although there are some sick looking new fat skis coming out...as well as some nice frontsides....for EC I'm still staying on the conservative side....think something a little more narrow is more versatile....but softer with depth is always appealing.

Depending on lift-ticket or Not...
...If I wanna keep on getting lift tickets...particularly an all-mtn/frontface ski I got a chance to demo last season....is Head's SuperShape Magnums(71mm)...Wow!..the ski can do anything for me.
Staying off the resorts....then my ski is my Dynastar MythicRider(88mm)...love it!...just right for me right now!
Although I agree with your choices on many levels, I believe that you've complicated the OP's intent.
Pick one, not one or two ;)

Although not perfect for every condition, I like my K2 Crossfires. For the 80% groomed hardpack I ski on, they do a fine job.

there's a gun to your head, no one will tell you where you are going, you can only take one pair...which pair?

My Crossfires were my only skis for two seasons and loved them every day I was on the hill. I eventually bought a pair of Legends and love them too. I'd be perfectly happy with either of those for an entire season.

probably some 179 Bro's w/ either dukes or freerides. Might go with one of the following too: Line Chronic Blends 179, Armada AR6 176, or Volkl Bridge's with Look px12 Jibs.

Eff it uhhh, I'll go with the Bridges.
