PNW Quiver?

Hey Matt,
Dunno if you remember but I had Voile Drifters last year on Chair peak. Can't think of a lighter or cheaper BC pow ski than those surfboards. 130mm waist, IIRC. Not the best for inbounds days though due to the low weight.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, clearly the answer is a bigger quiver .

Joking aside, I feel like I just need to up the waist size on my daily driver expectations.

DPS 112 seems like a go-to daily driver that does everything. Lots of love for the Praxis Pow for deep deep days. More of you are rocking plates or other binding transfer setups than I would have guessed.

For those rocking Dynafit in and out of bounds. ST versus FT? Is FT worth the extra money?

How about some 171 ON3P Caylor blems? Never mounted, new, can't tell they're blems for $350? My favorite daily driver ski for the last 3 seasons (longer for me but a super fun and versatile ski) that has seen the highest percentage of snow time and I have a reasonable quiver.

Alright.  I will chime in.  (all except trab have inserts installed for sollyfit plates. The trabs just have inserts installed for my plum bindings.)

Rock skis - atomic tm:x, or old school 188 pm gear bros.  depending on conditions.
Resort - 186 ON3P billy goats. Super fun in all conditions.  They take a little finesse on the hardback, but more than make up for it on everything else.
Tour/Resort- 186 PM gear Lhasa pow, 188 DPS Wailer 105.   I am sure there is some overlap in there somewhere... I just can't decide which pair to get rid of.  I love them both.
Long tours -  185 Trab Stelvio XL Light.  Haven't mounted these yet. 

I keep thinking about getting a dedicated powder board, but have found my lhasa pows to do pretty well.

[overlap disclaimer] Through a variety of circumstances I have ended up with what I am sure many would consider quiver overlap. If I had to bail on gear tomorrow and limit it to three pairs of skis, I would keep the DPS, Blizzards and the Explosiv's. I don't however so the gear whoring will continue [/overlap disclaimer]

Boots Touring: BDL Methods with stiffening spoilers (these will probably get replaced with Mercury's)

DPS - L-120 Pures (190cm) with swap plates - Touring, side country and inbounds (awesome Spring ski too).
PM Gear Lhasa's (191) with swap plates - powder touring go to

Deep wet fresh:
Pon2oons/Jesters - Inbounds/side country only at this time, may add swap plates though for low angle touring

Daily drivers:
Blizzard Cochise 185cm with Dukes - inbounds/side country

Mixed conditions/firm snow:
Volkl Explosiv 190's with dukes - Inbounds/side country

Spring touring:
Atomic Charter 186cm with swap plates

Rock boards:

Long boards (210>):
Numerous

Woohoo
My Ski quiver is amazing

I know, quiet the line-up there, but, it's hard to find the right ski

The way backs at a 88mm waist seem to fit a really good groom of the middle of everything. Not to small, not to large, good enough you can cut edges on groomers and fun enough in the pow.

Though I'm still new to skiing, I'll probably opt later to get a 110 waist or greater and a < 80 waist for summer days.

I really do at some point want to get a Marker or another binding I can use in-bounds and ski harder with jumping (when I get that good) and some easy side country tours if I plan on it.
