Hi skiers

I have a school project where i am creating ski poles.

Just a quick question...

If you had the chance to creat your dream ski poles, what features would they have?

Thanks!!

thin, but not too thin grips
Medium thickness straps, maybe something with a little stretch to it
mellow colors, but defined graphics (see Joystick Sauce LTD's)
comes in really short sizes to use in the park
really small baskets (like 2" diameter) for park use, and big baskets (like 6") for pow

very short, skinny rubber grips alot like mountain bike grips, plain colors such as matte black or white, different sizes and colors of powder baskets, easily removable grips, thick and stretchy straps.

Has anyone thought about using a triangular tubing, so you could use less material?

no. they get in the way of a moving your hands around on the grip. I've taken a few runs with a friend's swixes, which have the best "grab tabs" out there, and gone back to my poles without them and I wasn't missing anything.

bamboo is the worst idea for anything ever. adjustable maybe. only like 15 cm though, otherwise they get heavy, and I use 90 cm poles for park an 105 for pow/all mountain
