Which Poles Should I Get?

i have the 4frnt ones and they're really nice. swix stuff. cant go wrong with the joysticks either tho. just flip a coin.
 
dont know. i got mine for free. they're probably like 110$ for the 4frnt and the joysticks theres a few models. lowest one is like 60$ and the highest is like 130$ (totally estimating these prices from just what i remember)
 
i would just get the cheaper one...this year i got good poles and when i brake em i am going to just go back to my microscopic mis-matched poles i got from rentals...

i find unless you are skiing big lines and skiing super agressivley, then just get cheap poles.

 
why you would pay money for poles is beyond me. just dont even use poles. i broke my poles this summer so i just decided that this season i wont use them
 
just buy 15 dolor poles that arnt special. poles dont really matter and if your worried about them breakingm jsut buy like a second pair. thats what i did
 
just get some good cheap (or free) poles, and cut them down to like 40"

buying expensive poles is beyond me (and a lot of others it seems)
 
Go to the DI in SLC and pick up a mismatched pair. Mismatching poles kill it. Just make sure they have big basket for all the powder.
 
mismatched/lost pole pile at everyresort, many time rental workers will just give you some also
 
i dont kno y but garage sale poles or old ones from your basement will never brake if theyve lasted this long there gonna last longer
 
armada has some sweet pole systems, they come with 2 sets of baskets and they are very flexible so you wont break them if you land on them, which is always a plus.
 
i get free ones from my local hill. then spray paint with custom designs so they look cool. maybe swap out the baskest tho. i hate super huge baskets.
 
ok, now i know i'm not the only person who doenst care what poles he has, in my mind they dont make that much of a difference in your performance...you could probably use those long wooden rulers (i forget the real name) and do the same stuff.
 
i went to tuckermans last year and forgot my poles, so we went to cranmore, stole some bamboo sticks and grips off the things they use to put up fences and made a mean pair to use. they were killer, although a bit heavy.

get swix poles...its not worth spending a lot of money on poles unless theyre gonna last a while, obviously, so get those and rip it up wicked neat.
 
Spicollis are $40 and 4frnt Crossfades are $49.99 before any tax... both are sick poles, as are the Armada Instruments which are $74.99
