Im probably gonna get weird looks and stuff for this, and gonna get called repost, but whatever, ill just spit it out....
So, skiing without poles is fun, but why would one use poles in the first place, i understand its usefull in powow and poleplant during carvings, but seriously, not many people actually use poles in the park, except maybe for pushing on the in-run, but that can also be accomplished by pushing with you skis (dunno what its called in english) so no poles needed for that, what else could a park skier use poles for? the only other obvious use is liftlines, without poles it sucks if you end up in the middle. so then i tought about snowboarders, they dont use poles either, how do they progress in liftlines, easy, they step out of their binding, now that obviously isnt workin for skiing, so what could we do? then i figured something out, what if there was something as freestyle no-poles binding with manually retractable brakes, so at the end of the run, at the lift, you just flip out your brakes and you can proceed easily, then if you leave the lift, flip em back up and ski ...;
I allready apologize for this outrageous idea, but i tought i'd share it with you guys...
So in short : No poles solution for liftlines = some sort of manual brakes you can flip out to have grip in the line....
