Skiing without poles

Skiing without poles is very fun in my opinion. It feels fun and it helps me spin cleaner, and it helps me stay smooth and steezy when in the air. But alot of people think i'm dumb becuase i'm new at park, and i'm not good enough to pull of that look. So tell me what ya think, cuase i thought skiing was about having fun.

if you are new in the park use poles, not even a question.

if you think its cool, then do it, but dont be pressured out of something, cuz if i was pressured, i would probably be snowboarding. do whatever makes you happy

I tried the no-poles thing last sunday, I prefer skiing with poles because to me it feels more comfortable/natural. I say do whatever feels best for you

poles are really helpful on rails cuz they extend your balance and you should have them in pow

MOST (minus andy because thats how he rolls) no pole skiers usually can't ski anything but park and don't understand why they actually need poles. But, the ones who do actually know how to ski use poles outside of the park/most of the time anyway.

It's way easier to ski while double fisting beers if you don't use poles. WAY easier.

i hate no poles mainly because of liftlines.  it's not very fun to be sliding backwards on a hill trying to get to the chair with nothing to stop you in a crowded line.  that's when you feel like a noob who can't even make their way to the chair

To be honest with you ... no poles used to be super dope and was a unique, original kind of thing ... but now it has become a fad and is totaly played... im not saying that it should stop, its like an inovation in skiing and should continue but its retarded how like everybody is rockin no poles now
