I'm going cost effective-Salomon:

1. X-Drive 80 FS
2. Q 90
3. Q 115

I think I could buy all three for the price of one Kastle.

oh, what the heck, here's another along the same trajectory as the above list:
K2:
1. Amp Charger
2, Shreditor 92
3. Pinnacle 118

THis is a fun thread, and reading everyone's answers, I think a small shop could go deep and wide with one brand and offer a great ski at each level, you'd need excellent face to face salesmanship, of course.

But so far, i'd be happy with every one-company, three ski quiver listed.

So, if a shop was to carry only one brand? There is another ahead idea! :popcorn:

Since they get zero love in this thread and I like to fight brand bias (even K2 gets a mention):

Volkl Racetiger GS
Volkk Mantra
Volkl 100Eight

In actuality:

Stockli AX
Stockli SR 95
Stockli SR 115

Hmmm. If I were going with one brand, I would have to go Volkl or Nordica. I have consistently liked both brands.
Volkl
Charisma
Kenja
One

Nordica
Belle to Belle
Hell's Belles (Wild Belles since they discontinued HB?)
Wildfire

They could carry what I like, but it probably won't win any business awards. :thumb:

I'd want a brand that does both skiing and tennis or bikes to have year round income. Wht would you call it? The Head shop?

I'd go with Volkl:
Shiro
V-Werks BMT 109
Mantra

of these I own the Shiro, and I also have the Nunataq, which seems similar to the 109 in shape, though not carbon and $1000 cheaper.
