i mean from what i've seen it's pretty much died, except for the kids who actually never used poles then started skiing park and decided not to pick them up. and pep pollard and mahre are all basically using poles now aswell

I never really used poles. I think they're just a hastle. Theres no point in doing turning in the park haha. And to help yourself move along, I just skate

Poles are part of skiing, just like i have my skis and bindings i have my poles. I mean yeah you might fall on your poles and get stabbed or it might take longer to land a new box/rail trick but to me thats all just part of skiing and why would i want to take the easy way out? "If you can't land the trick with poles, you can't land the trick."

If i ski pow without poles i feel like i dont know what to do with my hands, and they look better in the park in MY opinion, but i also use just short poles

i just find that its easier to balance with poles in my hands. less dramatic hand flailing is needed when you can twitch your poles in the air.

When I feel like it, I drop them. I usually can never take a smile off my face when I'm skiing without poles cause you just become carefree and have fun. No poles or poles skiing is fun, who cares?
