How many pair of skis/boards do you have in your basement?

How many pair of skis/boards do you have in your basement?

Basement, garage, at your parents or at your girlfriends?

I'm talking actual skis to old skis gathering dust somewhere (also applies to boards).

You can also count the ones you might have used to build a fence or chairs.

Do you have any other ski related stuff? Boots, clothes, googles, t-bars, trail signs, lift chairs?

2 pairs of Volkl CMH powder boards
Total 10

Hers

I voted "2-3" but that was before I actually read the first posting. Counting backwards (including boards made into sleds, "loaned out," etc.) I could probably have listed around a dozen. I really tend to keep my skis for quite a long time. Lack of time in the past meant I really did not "wear them out" before I wanted something more updated. Since I am now retired, I now hope to actually need replacements due to excessive use!

i have three pairs in active use with a back up pair waiting to be drilled (skis are like a pair of good sneakers, you gotta get two pair before they change the model when you find something you like!). i also have a pair of skis that has one ski with a seperated top sheet, but the other ski of that pair is a back up if something happens to the replacements. then i have a pair out of commission and not something that any one would buy now at 193cm's and i have two old pairs sitting in the attic of my parents house. so all told, i currently own eight skis total, three pairs are active and a total of 4.5 could potentially see active duty.

[Jonny D]

Atomic ATC3 (201)
Rossignol Bandit X (173)

I think I've used the Atomic's once since I got the Bandit three years ago.
It's kind of hard to convince myself that going back to 201's with no sidecut is worth it...

I have the following skis:

Downhill:
03 Salomon Pocket Rockets 185 - soft, powder-loving, quick-turning ski (my favorite)
