Hey everyone, I've been skiing for a few years and I've always just held onto my ski poles without having the strap around the wrist. This is partly because I found it inconvenient to have the straps around my wrist and also I was worried I'd get injured if I fell and have the ski poles force my arm into awkward positions (I have shoulder instability issues).
I saw someone on the slopes who attached their ski poles to their mitts and wore liners underneath. When I asked about it they said it's easy to take off their mitts and grab something from their pocket if needed and if they ever fell the poles would just pull off their mitts.
Has anyone tried this? What do you prefer and why?
