You mean those bamboo poles that ski patrol and park crew use for closures and gates? I would say the larger the resort the more of those they would need.

No, not those. I'm talking about actual ski poles, like Panda Poles or Soul Poles. Which ski area has the highest number of people using those ski poles per capita.

I’m not sure if this is true but I’d have to say steamboat springs. Wasn’t one of the bamboo pole comapanies founded there? Saw a lot of them out there this year

There's a shitload of them in big sky. A few years back some liftys decided they were super cool and started making their own out of the bamboo patrol uses for rope lines and by the end of the season every lifty who skied had a pair haha

Grass sticks are founded there I'm pretty sure. I'm gonna say too many Texans for Steamboat to win this per capita though.

I need to add a number to this count because I can’t seem to find a pole that lasts more than a season and I’ve only heard good things about bamboo poles. I was skiing steamboat the other day and didn’t see any so I would say too many tourists.

I'm a huge fan of stereotyping people. Might go pro one day, but for now just an amateur bigot.

I've lost my outback on the town square before because there were four identical Outbacks parked in the same row.

Copper as well. I wonder if Subaru is the most common car manufacturer for bamboo pole skiers.
