With all of these threads this year convincing people to ski with out poles...beware...It fucking sucks to fall in deep pow and get up without poles....
So I was skiing through the trees w/o poles this weekend...I'll admit it works on your balance and is a blast...But then I hit a well and ate it hard and deep...I was facing down a steep with my skis uphill and under deep....I couldn't really move my legs cuz everything was tangled up and covered in snow...where I jst may normally pop my skis off with a pole and kinda swim myself up, I couldn't...what may have normally taken 5-10min of medium work to get up, took like 25-30 with hard work....And I really couldn't stabilize myself to put my ski on...It fucking sucked and I'm not gonna do it again unless its a small area...I also felt so bad about leaving such a crater in a tree spot...
