What do you do with your poles on the chair?

[mondeo]

I usually like to stab the other people on the chair a couple times on the way up. If I'm solo, I'll use it as a javelin. Try to aim for snowboarders or tele skiers.

i liked the old chairs that had hooks so you could hang them while riding.

way back in the day i used to just let them dangle between my legs. i had the grips rather than the straps and i'd clip them on the safety bar. Then i skied at a place with a mid-station and bent both poles as we passed over the ramp that i want paying attention to.

Ask the person next to me to hold them while I reapply chapstick and check my phone

The most risky maneuver on a chairlift. One bad jolt and you're looking at dropping serious meal money on a new Iphone.

And if you are riding with an expensive iPhone in your pocket I have little to no sympathy for you when you break the screen. :wink:

Haven't had a drop or cracked screen yet...now I'm cursed this season. Fingers crossed.

Pretty simple solution

Lil' secret: If the skier to the left or right of you is hawt, hand them your poles as you're skiing out to the chair. Typically they will hold one pair in each hand. That leaves them defenseless and you can totally grope their a$$ before the chair comes without fear of getting slugged. The lifties usually get a good laugh when you pull it off too!

I'm still using my old school (mid 80's) poles with molded grips. One of the many reasons that I prefer these grips is that they hook onto the chairlift bar.
