quiver binding shuffle shop plan - advice requested
Hi all: I have acquired new skis I was not expecting and my quiver heading into the 2018-2019 pow fest extraordinaire will be:
2016 Blizzard Peacemakers (104 underfoot) - binding marker kingpin
2010 Volkl Goates (108?) - binding fritschi eagles
2017 Icelantic Nomad (125) - needs binding
2007 Volkl Mantras (90?) - 2007 demo fritschi freeride
So, question is what to put on the Nomads? I could go alpine and use it exclusively for the biggest inbound pow days? I could move the eagles over and use it as a bc ski? Or I could check out the new salomon's?
My Peacemakers are my everyday ski, used the mantras as rock skis. the goats are beaten up and don't pop as much as they used to. I could also consider alpines for the mantras or goats to make them better rock/inbounds skis.
As you can ski, I've got many options. Could use some advice toward one a rebinding of the quiver or just add one to the nomads and be done with it.
I'm 5'8 175.
thanks!looking for a good book? check out mine! as fast as it is gone

Insert Nomads for freerides or eagles, or if money is no object/not into inserts, I would go shifts

Touring on those 125s does not sound appealing. There's a pair of gypsy 125s that lives in my living room. Their owner takes them out to the resort when there is a big time pow day but that's the only time they leave home.

I see a ski adirondack chair in your future.
Having tried to make many skis my rock skis after I got new skis I found I never skied the rock skis on rock days. YMMV. But everyone should have a pair of icy groomer skis.
