Bamboo poles are in! No poles is so 2008. The new thing is bamboo shoots. Im pretty sure Mahre skis with bamboo shoots the whole time in Nimbus Independent's new webisode. Check it.

Once I broke my pole because it caught between two trees, so I broke a branch off one of the trees and skied with that. It looked like a spiked club...      Gnar

all poles do in powder is open up your body and get your weight into the correct position for the next turn(only if your doing your pole touches correctly).  it doesn't make any difference if you have poles in your hand or a bamboo stick.  i think that's sick

I ride without poles in the park and agree that you don't need them riding in powder.  However, I think they do serve one very useful purpose - it is much easier to stand up with poles (either planted or as a platform) when you are floundering in the deep stuff.  They also make traversing much easier.
