Eastern Quiver Opinions

Looking for input on a middle ski for a quiver.  Will primarily ski in the East (VT).  5'10", 167 lbs,. 47 y.o., Level 7/8 skier.  I have a pair of Fischer RX Fire 8's in a 170cm length which are my narrow ski.  Thanks to Finn, I recently purchased a pair of '09 Icelantic Pilgrims 169cm as my wide ski ... yes, I know that doesn't sound wide to folks who ski the west!

Due to a serious onslaught of "ski accumulation disease", an unhealthy level of curiosity about skis and the ever-present temptation of liquidation sales, I have a bunch of brand new skis in my overflowing ski closet!  I was planning on picking 1 or 2 of these as my alternatives to the Fischers on better cover days BEFORE I bought the Pilgrims.  I am looking for opinions about utilizing one of the following options to finish out the quiver:

1.  '09 iM78 171cm
2.  '09 Elan 777 168cm
3.  '09 Elan Magfire 82Ti 168cm
4.  Sell all 3 and just use the RX Fire 8's and the Pilgrims.
5.  None of the above!

Thanks in advance for opinions and advice.  When someone finds a cure for the gear disease, let me know!


If sense were common, everyone would have it!

Somehow I knew that would be your suggested option!  Tent sale, anyone?

:)  You will find the pilgrim to be very happy carving on soft snow and a blast in bumps. The Fischer is a great ski and perfect for rippin' hardpack and up.

I'm with Finndog.  That is a nice 2 ski quiver.  Of the 3 skis I would save the iM78.  However, I think you will more likely grab the Pilgrim if there is soft snow.  My 2 cents.
