So a lot of people are saying no poles. others are saying you need poles. then there is that one kid who is saying you need one pole. i say forget poles and concentrate on the skis. the new steeze is one ski skiing. it so sick in powder trust me.it improves your switch by 15%. give me your thoughts

A couple years ago when I used to race we we ski one ski to better our balance and carves. It actually helps you alot.

yeah! let's drop the poles and one ski! maybe then we can turn the binding sideways and maybe add another binding too so that our leg isn't flopping around. then we'll make it really wide for pow. alright! xtreme!

Ya, one ski is the SHIT. Especially in Pow. That's why I waste tons of $$$ heli skiing with only one ski, just like Seth and Nobis and all those guys. That's what makes them so good on those burly lines in AK, ya know. THEY ONLY USE ONE SKI!

Shhh, don't tell anyone. It's gonna be our secret.

ive done that, but with poles otherwise it's sort of hard to initiate the turn. plus you foot that's out of a ski won't suddenly fly down and smack the ground stopping you and making you fly all over.
