Buddy of mine uses no poles and shreds it.

I bought $90 carbon fiber swix poles for $55 at the end of last season. While the pole itself is durable, I somehow managed to break both baskets off of them :/

A friend gave me my first pair of Leki poles. They were a WC Slalom pole. Carbon/aluminum combo. They retailed for $220! But they did make me good enough I won a few WC Sl podiums....

Would like to see video of a mogul run without poles
I know that I haven't spent a cent on ski poles in the last 30 years, although the recycling center pickings are getting slimmer every year.

You're welcome
I got so sick of sawing off those carbon fiber poles at the baskets I went back to cheaper aluminum poles.

For the past few year I have used super light graphite adjustable poles. Sometimes when in the park with my son I shorten them other times I adjust them to normal length and lastly when doing back country I can collapse them nape strap them to my pack. the later does not happen often. Last season skiing some bumps a mogul grabbed me by the legs and took me down and I bent one so collapsing is disabled. They also had a carbide tip for ice. Bought them on evo for $30.
