Check out www.sickstickz.com.  We are based out of Denver, Colorado.  Next seasons graphic is really cool, I strongly suggest you wait to purchase a pair in a few months.  We should have pictures of the new poles up on the website in a week or so.

You can go carbon, fiberglass, or aluminum.

I have had bad luck with K2's fiberglass poles, as the tips blew up below the baskets. A pair of Goode poles I had worked well, but the basket system is annoying to mess with.

If you go aluminum, make sure to get some quality ones. 7075 grade is what you should get, anything less will blow up with a hard crash or two. I know Scott makes this grade, and Joystick might. Can't remember.

I'm on my second pair of Series 4 poles, and I really like them. Nice size baskets, a clean graphic, and the best strap out there.

rental poles, because as if you'd pay 100 bucks for something that you'll possibly break real soon. Plus there free.

Woah, i just got completely drawn in to that snowflake thing on your opening page. I couldn't do anything but move my mouse for a good few minutes...
The pole looks good, i'll be interested to see next years models and maybe purchase some when i get across the pond.

anybody who skis all the time in the park knows that expensive poles are dumb cuz you just end up breaking them anyway. go to your ski shop and buy the $10 junior poles

don't bump old threads, stick to the first few pages.
when you searchbar threads, don't post in them unless you have a specific question.
not to tell everybody you use rental poles
