Poles?

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 don't believe I've spent over $60 on 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.

Ironically, in some ways having Cannonball steal my poles at Jay Peak back in 2009 turned out to be beneficial.

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.
