They emailed my ski team at csu and said they wanted to communicate about representing the team so naturally I got super stoked and we started talking then they cold shouldered our team outta nowhere too haha
BigPurpleSkiSuitI actually wonder how whiskipoles is doing as a whole, I know pandapoles basically nearly went under right?
I'm sure they're doing fine, some people on NS might have bought their product, but for the most part they appeal to gapers and tourists, which TBH is a more lucrative demographic.
My gf gave me them as a valentines day present which was what prompted me to go out a whim and see if they'd send me stuff
Edit: they've been surprisingly sturdy, survived many hard slams so far

Im glad they've made a lucrative business model based off of people who are too dumb to figure out pocket chairlift beers on top of spending money on stupid shit.
Tbh I always thought of their product as kinda shitty. Like those Chinese ski goggles you see on Instagram. Why the fuck would anyone ever pay $80 for ski poles that are a flask (they do...). This is fucking stupid. A chimp with frontal lobotomy could make a set of these so easily. Most ski poles are hollow anyway. Seal off the bottom with an ethanol resistant polymer. Fit a cap to the handle of the poles. Presto! You have now turned your $5 goodwill poles into whisky poles for $15.
Not to mention the gaper/Jerry meter is max if you've got a pair of these.
I absolutely love how they were just like. No nah nada we only want pros. 😂😂😂🤣🤣😭. Like they're some high and mighty badass ski company. Thanks for the comic relief op. I would have sent you a pair. They prob cost them $10-15 to make. That's cheap advertising if you ask me. People aren't gonna buy these because "pros" use them. What pros would actually use these on a regular basis anyway? They're gonna buy them cuz they wanna get rowdy on the mountain. You'd be the perfect advertisement.

Idk if you're talking about whiski poles or panda poles but anyway...
I'm definitely your average gaper 😁. And got a pair of panda poles this winter half price, and they're fucking awesome. Such a solid product and perform well. Although I know most folks don't put poles as a priority, it was nice to upgrade to these.

Yeah cause I remember tanner made that heartbreaking fb vid where he announced that he'd have to leave his life dream because the company was going under
This is why I posted this. I hope some have you gene gotten a kick out of it

Damn Whiskipoles really out here all high and mighty as if I or any real skier would ever be caught dead with a pair of those things. Like bro $80 is about what I bought my pollards paint brushes for and Whiskipoles don’t even have MF GRAB TABS
