Replying to Everybody is skiing without poles

Now I have tried it out and I do like it. For instance its way easier to do grabs. But when your on rails and boxes it doesn't feel right.

Now my main point in this is that everbody at my ski hill is rocking no poles. Just yesterday (sunday) I was watching big air for the little kids compettion. When I went to take my skis off where the other skiers had taken theirs off I noticed the lack of poles next to them. I was the only person to have my poles next to my skis.

No poles was just for fun but now its getting legit. With Pep and Andy going no poles at the X games and that really steezy guy on the top rated video section throwing down with no poles.

I like having poles, they help me get around. I don't want to shuffle around or pull my self along the sides of the lift lines like snowboarders or beginners.

Being an instructor I teach kids to use poles and its great to see them go from no poles and stumbling around to a pretty damn good skier making hop turns and pole taps. Poles really help you be a good skier. Maybe you are strict park, but your not young forever and your gonna pick up those poles again to hold you old body up when you ski. So don't forget to use your poles because you might need them some day, and it would be nice to know how to use them.
