I like no poles only if you put your hands in your pockets. My friends did it last week and it was sick

Yesterday was the first day in my life that I skied with poles. At first I hated using them but by the end of the day, I didn't want to put them down. I skated a lot faster and I kept my balance better on the steepes.

either or.... I have a fractured thumb right now so I've been skiing without poles and after I got used to the "naked" feeling, it wasn't so bad. It's fun... but I don't think I would switch to completely no poles all the time.

i really would like a statistic that showed how many people changed their opinion on no poles after all these vids of pep and mahre have shown up with them rockin no poles, cause im pretty sure it was really really homo to rock no poles before then, but its really hot right now so i do it.

I ski'd until this year without poles and don't find them much of a hinderance, make going around on flat ground and getting your speed up easy.  As for tricks if it is steezy it will look good with or without poles imo...
