. But I picked up yesterday a pair of Armada JJ on sale. I have a pair of Voelkl Aura and they did a great job this season so I thought I was all set for couple years at least, but I happened to try JJ and I immediately knew I had to get them. They are so much fun in anything powder (even as little as we had this season) it should be illegal. They turn themselves. If it wasn't for long icy spells that happen here i could say they are brilliant all around and could be the only pair of skis. But the edge is very short so for ice a different pair is needed. and I am thinking now about getting a slalom-type craver, like Atomic ST, and maybe selling the Voelkl. or, keeping them too, they are very good skis.

If money was no object I would purchased more than just one pair of skis

And honestly, if money really was no object, I'd probably go even further than buying a few extra pairs of skis. I'd put a decent chunk into crypto, spend more time learning how the whole thing actually works, and try to build another source of income from it.
I've already been looking at services likejust to understand the practical side of crypto a bit better, because at some point I'd rather have my money doing something than just sitting there while I keep finding new skis I "absolutely need."

Maybe that would be the real solution to the problem — earn more first, then stop pretending I need to choose between the Armada, the Voelkl and another carving pair.
If I had infinity money glitch I would live in the biggest house ever on the top of the hill without people around me and just alone and ski for my free time

Nice, so a private ski resort (presumably with at least one lift!)
