Yo Snowboarders

[Marc]

Some snowboarders I ride with keep a small collapsable(sp) pole with them. Now some poles still might be long, but the Life Link Women's pole collapses quite short, has enough length to get through a bad flat like Jay's bottom area etc. I see this on a lot of snowboarders out west. Buy a pr, give one to your buddy and push along the flats like the skiers do.

I have lent one of my poles to boarders I'm with before to get past flats. The telescoping pole is a good idea.

I have never been a big fan of using a pole to get past a flat section. I find it easier to just unbuckle my back foot and use my legs to move me forward rather than my arms.

Yeah poling is even more awkward for me.

Ever get sucked down Lower FIS at Mt Ellen? There's a nice walk no matter how much wax you got on. The problem is I've been sucked in 4 or 5 times and I never learn.
