Never ride with long poles in the first place. If the straps aren’t long enough make them longer and let them hang from your hands when you’re going up the rope.

+K for goodest grammer. But just drop those poles at the bottom of the rope shack just like the rest of the jerries do. When they stick them in the snow up and down, I like to ski by and make them do dominoes.

Just use one hand and hold the poles in the other. Or do you struggle with holding yourself up with one arm?

Armpit them in the most logical way for your body then use both hands on the rope like normal

Why does the idea that you need poles to look good exist
imo that shits kinda dangerous for the majority of the park learning curve... youd only ever need poles for backcountry/moguls/trees/etc
