I guess you've gone all in. 3 years in and you have 4 sets of skis. I know it's now a thing outback when I started in the 80's, I didn't personally know a soul with more than one set...though I understand why racers would have more.

Ty all!

@Tricia - ty!!! SkiTalk is helping me get over Winter ending
@Brad J - Let The Big Dog Eat
@k2rider - I am out of space now unless I use my car as permanent overflow but I have found what I want to do for the rest of my life
@KevinF - Big Boulder and Wildcat are my happy places
@Philpug - Already eyeing the Deacon 72 Master or a Firebird for next season! That and ankle flexion/angulation but you can't buy those

I personally liked the Deacon 72 Master way more than the Disruption Ti2.

Cage Match Comparison - 2022 K2 Disruption Ti2 vs 2022 Volkl Deacon Master 72

These two skis from cousin companies, K2 and Völkl, are not race skis. I would get a slap across my face by @ScotsSkier if I were to masquerade them as race skis. Rather, these are two very strong recreational skis with some stellar hard snow attributes. A skilled skier in a Nastar or club...
