why do so many people still use them? i mean, i always pick mine up on the way out, out of sheer habit but i do sometimes leave them at the top of a pipe or kicker or something... they just get in the way and im a bit scared of sticking myself! anyone else?

i use poles all over the mountain except sometimes in the park.also i don keep my hands in the loops because when i fall i usually land on them and cant get up. also i hate hiking with my skies on so i take them off and its a pain in the ass to carry my poles and skies up. so most of the time i will hike like 2 times with my poles and say screw it and through them on the side of the park

try having your pole straps on and take a ski in each hand, and let your poles just drag, kinda hard to explain but ya...

thats what i do but then i take the straps off because when i fall i land on my poles usually and its hard to get up standing on my poles. its just a pain in the ass to put the straps on at the bottom and take them off at the top.
