I'm got
174 cm coombas with threaded inserts and dynafit St's for lighter touring/spring
182 Atomic Atlas with plates for my Sth16 for inbounds day to day and dynafit for deep touring days
186 Moment Night Trains with rossi 14's for deep days
I really enjoy the flexibility the plates provide. If you could afford to scrap one pair of skis by going with lhasa's or 112's then that makes up for the additional cost. For an inbounds setup I would stay away from the coomback due to its light weight, and instead go with the hardside or the sidestash.
I've heard great things about the Rocker2 and the Pon2oon for deep deep days. Personally I wouldn't go narrower than 90mm for a spring volcano ski, but that's just me.

I like keeping it simple.
Powder - K2 Coombacks - toured with these in the Wallowas over a week, awesome response, a bit heavy however. Axl with BD Push.
Everything else - BD Crossbows. Not bad in the deep, holds and edge, not too heavy. Vesper, Shuksan, Glacier, Rainier, etc. Old T2s with Hammerhead.

Now that's the best ski inventory theory I have ever heard. I kind of use that same theory for seeing Grateful Dead shows, if my wife isnt complaining then I can catch another one or two. LOL.

The bottom line is that if your wife (or lift partner or whatever) doesn't think you have too many skis, then you don't have enough!

K2 Coombacks 174... have pretty much sealed the deal for me here in the nw. That's coming off a racing setup. I banged up my cooms this summer from the volcano tour and was bummed to think about replacing them. But with my new tuning bench, they are repaired and ready again.
Then... I found last year's model unmounted in 174's for $309.00 delivered to my door from a small shop in aspen. I snagged em and am happy to have a new set in wrappers ready to go anytime. Just need to mount.
I've been happy with them in and out of bounds. Been great sticks for me...

I don't like this thread. I think it exposes my addiction.
Rock Skis - Atomic REXs, Touring - Dynafit Manasuls, "Fitness" Atomic Tour Guides, Skate Skis - Rossi ???, Lift Skis - Volkl Gotamas, CityLeague Skis - Atomic Beta
No wonder I feel like I'm always waxing....

I have a 3 ski quiver right now but it seems to mostly come down to one pair...
1) Praxis Pows w/ alpine bindings - I think these are the funnest skis I have ever owned. They are unbelievable. Are these the best ski ever made?
2) Surface Live Life w/ dynafits - For winter touring or just fine on lifts. Not too heavy for a big ski (150-120-110 I think) and rocker camber rocker profile is nice, just not quite as nice as raging on the Powderboards. I think I need some stiffer touring boots.
3) Trab duo freerando - Nice and light but I have a hard time getting stoked on these skis. I'd probably use them for spring & summer volcanoes but I have pretty young kids and haven't had as much opportunity the last couple years.
