No poles is stylish, though I prefer using poles...

i don't get that no poles shit, they help you balance and its just a pain in the ass to not have them, especially if you're anywhere outa the park, you might just as well go snowboarding

this isn't an argument. poles weigh nothing. they don't help balance.

Poles do help balance in some instances, pole planting helps to balance you on turns, which also makes the turns quicker as well.

You know how people balance with their arms our straight on a tight rope, that gives them balance, poles can have the same effect for skiers sometimes.

Ugly??? If bringing weapons along to smack around snowboarders that take your run is ugly, then I am an ugly son of a b**ch
