I just don't ski without poles in general, it feels awkward. Plus poles help me stay balanced in the air

Without.


I've only used poles for one season in my whole life, I just like skiing without poles alot better

Main reason is that I don't like hanging on to them constantly because I do basically nothing with them

I have adjustable ones, so I can make em short for the park and then long for a pow day. Fatcans are awesome.

Skied about five seasons without poles. Loved it.

Picked them up again this year. Love it.

Honestly I can go either way. Both are fun in their own respect.

I find nopoles to be more fun and free, better to mess around but not good for serious skiing like POW or moguls or piste. Jibbing with poles sucks unless its flat.

When I'm first trying a trick or a grab I won't use poles so I don't get impaled if I fall but once I get comfortable with the trick I'll use my poles, but I mostly like skiing without poles.
