The pole debate

[valentine*]

no poles, short poles, or normal poles. whats your idea and preferance???

 

[Jballz]

no poles for park medium for deep powder(any thing over 2 feet deep)

 

[Funnel]

I use medium poles everywhere. I like no poles but people with correct length or too long poles, it kills any possible style they have. No poles makes grabs look really steezy though! I like riding no poles in pow only once in a while of there are no relatively flat parts I'm dealing with.

short poles, lightweight but still have the practicality of having a pole. and they dont get in the way

yeah, i rock short polesmy sister though, only goes no poles and it drives me crazyi just want to know what the majority of people are doingyou know???so what is everyone in your area rocking??

 

[Codfish.]

i would say the majority of people use short poles for sure, and i'm assuming she skis park?

 

[the-big-lepowski]

Poles half of the time in park- they help my balance and can save me when I'm going down. Grabs do look better without, so I like that too. Always use noraml length poles for powder and all-mountain. They do get in the way when riding switch though.

 

[skiP.E.I.]

I use right size poles as my usual pair, but I appreciate short poles. Occasionally I go no poles.
