Hello,

That's right, my buddy has the same. Driving without poles can be dangerous.

Germans are more dangerous than Poles. Here's my buddy ripping it up today sans poles. Got some giant bananas attached to his boots, apparently. I ski without poles occasionally, but I'd miss them for getting around in the flats. I think pole plants do help initiate turns in fresh, cut up, and bumps. They help get you reaching down the fall line helping keep you out of the back seat. too. Groomers, meh, mine are pretty much along for the ride then.

They're good for skewering lifties in the nads too, if you're so inclined, I've been known to on one occasion. Elk Mountain, left too late to make the chair, brain fart, hopped onto the wooden platform where the liftie stands, still had my poles in my hands, instinctively stuck out my pole, landed right in the liftie's crotch.
