yea we get poles look better than no poles. BUT 50”+ poles look way better than some 28” poles. How y’all feel?

Depends on the skier. Max moffat, kuura and ferdi I think can pull it off well but harlaut just skies a different way and it doesn’t look as right in my opinion

Can usually count on one hand the number of park skiers with poles at my local I did for awhile when I was young but haven’t in a long time

real shit, I got on the long poles wave this season, at least like a set of 'stendo poles compared to using stolen rental tiny poles.

honestly u actually notice a difference when use normal sized poles with them lil shits you don't notice anything

I love pushing. I basically never skate ski ever. Poles not too long, not too short

Long poles are for arm swings
short poles are for hands at the hips
both very much have their place

When did we make the change to Long Pole Steeze?
I always thought it was Short Pole Steeze...?

long backcountry poles in the park has been popular for a few years. i kinda figured it was a rich flex/ showing off that you're not a park rat exclusively
