If i had to choose between a 2 skiers with flawless style, one with poles and the other without, i would choose to watch the skier without them for many reasons.
Not even considering that making tricks look lazy and effortless without poles Is way harder than with them, the main reason why i prefer it is no poles just looks cooler. A flawless trick without poles is kinda like the skiing equivalent of a no scope headshot with the sniper rifle in halo. It just transcends.
The best ive seen so far is kai mahler and keegan kilbride

He surfed that pow with so much style with no poles. Was insane, that backie mute too... wish he'd had more shots in the flick but a legendary cameo

Obviously this is a trick question. Skiing without poles is like skiing carrying a rainbow flag.

Nick morales had amazing no poles style. I think he might have slowed down on skiing to focus on filming tho (he and Oliver hoblitzele own zoot space)

Titus69Wallisch skis with poles


He started out No Poles and ended up getting some. I remember reading an article on Freeskier a long while back where he said he basically got DQ'd from his first real comp for riding without poles.

I don't necessarily like.skiing without poles but IDEA is one of the all time great flicks. Pep in this movie still makes my jaw drop.
