I'm not really sure I'd call it a throw, as much as a carefully aimed 'bombs away!' release while on the lift tho...
You'd think they'd learn to move out of the way when the guy on the lift is making a whistling sound from high pitch to low..

What do you do with your poles on the chair?

I thought it was your pack that started the problem?

hang em from the wrists usually, under my left leg if I need my hands.

I use straps so they're hanging from my wrists. If I need to get something out of a pocket I just put both hanging from one wrist and use the other hand.

That's fine. Hopefully, for my sake, your aim is as good as Gagne's. Aaah HA HA ha hAHA HaH.
I like to try and throw mine into the guide sheaves. They turn into all sorts of neat shapes if you get em in there just right. You just need to make sure that you take off your straps first!

Might as well bump this one today...
I try to position them so that I can sit on them...drives the spouse nuts when we load and unload, she always wonders why I don't just hold them.

I often times let them dangle but I learned my lesson at earlier this year when I forgot about a mid station... bent the bottom sections of my black diamond flicklock traverse poles.
Now I sit on them.
Now I sit on them.

I've never even realized there was any method beyond just holding them on the ride up.

Im a rebal that defies the "remove pole straps" sign:lol:
Never dropped a pole leaving them on.
I have changed my ways. I now use Leki poles with the quick release straps. I remove my poles, and sit on them. I prefer them to be under my left thigh, as long as there is not a footrest that will hit them. If the footrest will hit them, I adjust accordingly.

I usually light the baskets on fire and throw them like a spear at skiers below the chair
