Fill out my quiver
At the moment I only have three pair of skis.
DPS RPC 192 cm.
Rocker 2 122 192 cm.
DPS Lotus 138 192 cm.
What do you think I'm missing?

I ski in Norway. If you ski on the Norwegian west coast, then you can ski untracked pow 7 out of 10 days all winter. 200 inches a month is common. I also helied two weeks in Haines. No shortage of pow there either.
Yeah, thats a good suggestion. Do you have anything to recommend? I would like something from the “fun era” where they had a lot of side cut. Are there any that aren’t true race skis, but behave similarly?
I also would like a ski that is great at shitty conditions. Think refrozen garbage conditions.

No specific recommendations. I just buy whatever's cheap & used, as a replacement for my last heavily-damaged pair of GS skis. My current pair are some $40 Elan GSX (IIRC -- they have green topsheets, around 191cm length, and probably from around 2005).
I think the skis that used to be marketed for skiercross were similar to GS skis, but more turny.

formerly an ambassador for a few others, but the ski industry is... interesting.
Fukt: a very small amount of snow.

Something between 90-105ish with some substance for when it's not great or the snow is heavier.
ON3P Vicik / Wrenegade 102
Blizzard Bonifide
Armada ARVti or Invictus 95 ( I think this would be my first choice based on your other skis)
DPS 99 Hybrid
Or something in the sub 80mm range with some side cut and strong edge bite for carving.
Or a Park ski.

Fail - you need 202 138s for heliskiing.
Something like the Cochise would be my recommendation.

Either go with some Humilities or the Compensators. Most people opt for the latter.
Move upside and let the man go through...

^^^ Snicker.
my quiver looks like mostly Compensators.
but I am all that and a bag of chips, so I need skis that can keep up.

I can't believe nobody asked to see pictures of your wife, mom, girlfriend or sister.

Norway? yes, need to see pics.
Also, Sierra Trading Post had some Blizzard 8.5s on sale, if you can get them shipped cheaply enough...

Billy goats cause everyone needs to live at least once
I need to go to Utah.
Utah?
Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?
So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....
Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues
