Idky but I feel like wide skis in the park look better without poles or rly soft skis. But stiffer or skinnier skis look better with poles? Maybe I’m just weird but I think it’s more of the style of skiing people with those skis in the park do. Like is why I think that

No. However I think most people are used to seeing comp skiers with poles on 80-90mm skis and swerve/buttery skiers without poles on ON3Ps and stuff so maybe that’s why.

Unless you’re riding all mountain poles look so fucking stupid, but I’ve also noticed that half the time I won’t even realize the person is using poles until I’m like they they got poles

***Do certain SKIERS look better with or without poles?**

yes. Pole swag is real, no-pole swag is also real.

Idk maybe don't care what you look like with or without poles and just rock your preferred setup. I never ski all mtn without poles but never ski park with them besides the occasional lap through on a all mtn day.

tldr op is dumb and his thread is dumb

I 100% agree. Skiing all mountain without poles is weird but in the park I think no poles is absolutely better.

All skis look better without poles!
Poles are a crutch, and two more things to hurt yourself with!
