Panda poles with the smaller baskets will be great for park.

my preferance, dont use poles. but if you have to have poles ... get something just long enough for all mtn, but still semi short for park

Well if you don't care about looks just get a cheap pair that fits a few inches below 90 degree bend in your arm. Will work for downhill and look decent same at the same time.

Either steal some rentals or line poles are actually the most sturdy I've used so far. 1.5 seasons online without breaking or bending excessively which is a quarter of a season longer than any others I've tried

1. Go to yard sale
2. See poles
3. Buy poles (ONLY IF LESS THAN $15)
4. Cut poles to desired length
5. Replace grips with bicycle grip tape
6. Ski

Line poles are pretty nice man, maybe something like the line Tac, or if you really want the grab tab something else, although i found the grab tab pretty useless.
