i got a pair of salomon flag series last season. theyr just normal poles with red blue and yellow. look pretty cool i guesss. sorta fucked em up today at okemo. bent that shit so hard. but i fixed it. if you want a poll that wont bend go for the Scott Carbon Series. they wont bend. but they will snap. stronger then any aluminum pole.

Some composite Reflex ones I got off eBay for cheap.. They're pretty thick, so I hope they don't die

Last season I broke 2 pairs of cheap poles and bruised 2 ribs.
This season I have Leki Vision Ventrix. I will never use anything besides carbon any longer, they haven't broken yet, and I can take a rib shot without fucking anything up to bad.
Plus it saves your arms from being sore at all.
They're hella nice.

theyre all the same unless theyre composite. in that case get a pair of swix mach or viper poles. theyre exprensive, but theyll be the only pair youll have to buy for the next five years.

keep in mind this is coming from the kid with the tabletop in his back yard haha.
Idk my $5 poles at the ski swaps last me a good month if I ride a lot. So worst case, I spend like $20 a year on poles.

I had goodes for about 8 years but the tip finally broke. I rock Joysticks now and am very happy with them.
