Poles

Sick stickz are pretty dope, and they have a deal on, $60 for two random poles and a beanie. That may not still be going on though.

Spend as much money possible as you can on poles, biggest investment you should make in your ski gear.

On a more serious note, buy the cheapest ones you can, any pole will most likely end up snapping or bending no matter what you pay for it. If you insist upon spending lots on poles get some Scott world cups or scott team issue poles.

as said above, really the only pole worth spending money on are scott world cups and team issues, which will probably never break. Anything else will break (except obviously some of the fiberglass ones) and not worth spending money on.
