Anyone else have them? I get tons of new gear every year but I refuse to replace my old bent 25$ poles from a few years ago because I think they are good luck. I overrotated a big backie on stadium at alta a few weeks back and I ended up losing one of my poles.
The next day I went skiing backcountry with some friends and borrowed a pair of poles and my ski randomly ejected (never happens on my racebindings) I started rag dolling above cliff bands and stopped over a 40 footer above crust/rocks. I nearly died and the line I skiied before that I majorly fucked up on and almost ate a bunch of rocks going machspeed.
I freaked out about my new found badluck and I went back to the place I lost my pole a few days later and there it was sticking right up out of the snow just sitting there perfectly straight up in the air. I've been skiing awesome ever since.
