you know those poles that aren't supposed to break. the goode ones. well i was skiing today, i fell. when i lift up my pole the part underneath the baasket falls off. i was really pissed at that and i probably cant get a free new set either.

goode poles arent supposed to be unbreakable. they are just carbon fiber so they can bend and band back. ive broken 3 of those

he means you can by new tips for the poles. those only cost a few bucks to replace. the pole didn't break, the tip did.

on some of those goode poles you cant replace the tips once they are broken. I snapped my tips off last year and had to get new poles. but now I have joysticks so Im happy.

seriously you can probably get some rental poles for free or dirt cheap. plus, rental poles are made with thick steel because theyre made to take abuse. buying expensive poles is stupid all they do is help you balance who cares what theyre made of.
