Ideal quiver? 4 skis.

185-190cm stock GS ski; 27+m radius [unsure about this new 35m business]
165 stock SL ski; ~13m radius
180cm all-mountain 75-85mm waist; 16-18m radius; carving bias but softer in flex than a race ski
185-190cm 100+ waist powder ski; 21-29m radius depending on the ski; rocker/rise optional; no reverse sidecut

Rock skis go without saying... so as you recycle skis that fit the above list, you save a few here and there as rock skis.
All-Mountain: A common descriptive term for boots or skis that are designed to perform equally poorly under a variety of conditions and over many different types of terrain.
