A good point by max--and in truth only BW suggested he'd own such a fat rockered ski as a 1 ski quiver. But that off course, Is pure conjecture as neither he, nor anyone else here has a one ski quiver! I have never skied with anyone who had such a ski as their one and only ski.
Better question is, for someone looking for a one ski quiver-what specific ski would you recommend. Heck, we can even fashion our own hypothetical 'every man' (or woman) skier.
Let's say he's a strong Intermediate skier, likes to ski 'all terrain', but by that he means all terrain found typically in a main stream resort and nothing extreme. Maybe we have two guys, one who skis at Vail and one who skis at Stowe. The Stowe skier does not ski BW's backcountry options, but does try to ski Starr on occasion-doesn't look so great doing it, but not terrible either. Both like groomers and ski (or try to ski) bumps and wider spaced trees when the conditions are good.
This is a fairly typical example of the majority of resort skiers I run across. They are also the sorts who are prime candidates of making a new one ski quiver purchase. Oh, they don't want a ski to help them with lessons (though they may be taking them or enrolled in camps)-they just want a versatile ski.
So what would you guys recommend?
