brett_fisheron rails and jump tricks i like poles
jibing and flipping i some times don't use poles
max_tafferIts all about the unipolar, two poles are overrated...
TamasI don't use poles cause I'm too lazy to bring them to the mountain.
SVmikeYep because everything in skiing has to be about looking cool.
SVmikeYep because everything in skiing has to be about looking cool. How about actually being able to ski. Poles are not about looking cool. They promote proper technique and being able to move around the mountain.
agnarskii dont see the difference between the photos?
LamieJI find poles helpful in the lift line, and they give me a better sense of balance. Other than that don't really use them that much
KravtZThat is the laziest thing I have ever heard in my life. I think 95% of people look absolutely retarded without poles. Most people aren't smooth enough or even close to being good enough to pulling off the no poles look. Plus you compromise your all mountain skiing so much if you want to venture outside of the park.

jd_1260I just don't know what I'd do with my hands without poles. I've been lucky so far and not broken a pair of poles for quite a few ears. Joysticks put up with all my crap it seems
AnGaperPoles all around. They look steezier, plus you have something to occupy your hands with.
SteezOnSkis12"i don't know what to do with my hands" Lol
