i skied with only one pole on dirtbag day, just to be ridiculous. the only benifits i saw were help pushing yourself along flats, better stability in the lift line, and... that was it. it was strangely fun though- got some weird looks.
theres this old dude at my hill i see him out there all the time, anyways he skis no poles for the most part (this is an old guy not some kid on twins) except he carries 1 telescopic pole with him that he uses to get around down by the lifts and to help him get on the lift. this thing is pretty cool you hit a button and it extends, then you can collapse it into the handle and just have a handle in your hand or put it in your pocket or something. not a bad little idea i thought
I do it whenever I break a pole, which isn't often, but still happens. But I just do not want to be a no pole skier, because people might think I actually ski with no poles on purpose. And everyone knows what other people think of you is the most important thing about skiing.
