I'm not saying that with lousy skis it's still a hoot to tear up the hill, but if one is flexible enough to use an all around ski it will allow for crud-powder-ice situations. You can't go skiing with three different pairs of skis and keep switching to match conditions. If you want to ski the whole mountain, adjust to the mountain. (Besides, I can't afford three pairs of skis with today's prices).
Well I'm taking two pairs in Jan and maybe a third if I can fit them in the car and they will be straights, for a rather special test 8) 8)
