MIDWESTB owns this... i wanna say most of the hardocre park rats rarely use poles and ive even seen some newbs who have no idea of what ns is go no poles..and these are park skiers.
Oh man. Opening day at Baker there was >10 no pole- rockered skiers. It's huge over here. Every day there's tons, and pow days are no exception. Even last year, before Idea there was a lot of no-polers. But yes I would say the West and specifically the PNW has the greatest no-poles popularity.
Out west in B.C at Kicking Horse, I've seen one other no poler this year besides the kids that I ski with, and I geuss the only other place where I've seen no polers is Kimberley
