the cheapest poles you can find. other than a bandana, they are literally one of the least essential pieces of skiing equipment. disregarding size, one pole is going to perform exactly than the next.

Poles arent really worth spending money on. but if you do i would recommend the armada poles withe quick release grips because if the pole snaaps you can transfer the grips over to another pole.

Who gives a fuck, you could wrap electrical tape around the top of two sticks and would never know the difference.

yes. it works ridiculously well, and when you can't land a trick and get pissed you just snap your pole over your knee and feel like a bad ass.

Surface Team Pole.

Legit colorway! Only like 30 bucks AND they come with pow baskets. What more could you want in a pole?

Thrift shop, Lost and Found at your local hill, rentals. All good places to score poles from. The more retro they are the better

So once upon a time I spent 50 bucks on line darts. Then two weeks later I took a little tumble and snapped one in half. Then I found 30 year old ones in my garage, cut em down, threw some animal edwin grips on there and I've been happy ever since.

Better grips. Those are the only part of the pole that really matter unless you are racing. If you end up buying a nice pole keep the grips once the pole breaks and use them on a cheap $10 pole.

If you are skiing a lot of park then you will be breaking poles most likely. Just get cheap poles they really do not matter. The only difference you will notice are the grips.
