- 85 - 95 cm long,
- 1 coloured (any colour)
- as thin as possible
- as light as possible

(bonus question: Is Cab switch spin or switch unnatural spin in skiing?) <---- Not snowboarding

If you don't care about price, get the Leki Rodeo Pro. I'm going to get one of these as soon as possible. They have a cool system, the Trigger S System, which is just sick.

and cab is the same as switch, doesn't matter if it's natural or unnat. Nobody really says cab anymore though.

Oh I just looked on their website. Shops probably have them for a little less. But I just did the currency translation on my phone and 80 euros is about $100.

Oh yeah...um...I wouldn't pay $40...FOR YOUR MOM!

But seriously I don't mind spending $50 as long as there nice poles. Next year I'm planning on getting Line whips but I've heard that Scott makes great quality poles. However, they are really expensive so I'm hoping I can snatch a pair at my shop for cheap.

The last 5 pairs of ski poles I've had have cost me a grand total of $20. Why pay for good poles when you can get them for around $5, get the job done, and not worry about them getting stolen or lost?
