if you have lots of money, buy some armadas or joysticks, if not buy some cheap ass scrached up poles, but that are straight and not dented up, grind off the paint with a steel brush grinder, and spray paint em up. ski poles for 10$ its the way to go

I took 2 orange nd black poles they have in x's at mountains. I then cut them and put on my old bike grips. They don't have a basket but who needs one. Poles are the same. (I got new ones for the season. There handy-downs)

Haha I snapped my pole (old scott one found in the basement also, with sick hard plastic handle) I took it to guest services at the mountain I was at; our dialouge:
"Hey I snapped my pole, got any extras"
"Sure (looks in back room, comes out with poles) here you go"
"Thanks"
"Yeah I'll hold on to your broken poles, and just bring me those (good) poles back at the end of the day and I'll give you yours back"

Peace. I got some sick racing poles with poleguards on them. He actually wanted me to bring back the poles, which someone else had lost.

Poles are so over rated. Ive seen both joystick and armada poles break in from of my eyes. They are just overpriced 5 dollar poles you can buy at a ski swap. Only exception to this is carbon fiber poles that are like 100 bucks. I got them for 5 bucks at my shop when i bought skis and bindings (some shop dealy thing) and they are the best poles ever.

Yeah, Goode's rentsl poles are sweet, try to find some.

I always thought buying the cheapest poles possible was the way to go so that you could replace them easily, but I got some Kerma carbon and fibreglass ones this year - Dynastar sent me them when I wrote "130cm ski poles" on my order, I thought they'd send the cheapest. Anyway, thhey rule. I normally snap at least one pole every 10 days but these have lasted almost 100 this year with only minor chips. Paint sticks to them better than metal poles too.
