Poles or No Poles When Skiing? 

He just disappears

😂😂😂 skier here, however a few of my best friends are boarders. While we all have our differences. Its about getting out and having fun on the slopes. Boarders and skiers just need to know where to stop and relax without getting in the way of other riders. However, ive seen many more boarders laying down in terrible spots in my lifetime. They need to learn for f**** sake. I rammed a boarder last year at about 45+MPH because he was sitting in an blind spot downhill around a corner. Thats fairly typical for a boarder sadly.... he had to be stretchered down the mountain and everyone claimed he was at fault. No repercussions for me. Why do boarders do that dumb shart? They think they are king of the hill and that's the exact reason many slopes are skiers only. Granted there's exceptions for skiers dumb capabilities. Boarders just think they're king and everyone else needs to go around them. Not the case. Ill happily ram another one in a stupid spot, make them learn.

why did that slow mo fall make me laugh? :'D It was kinda adorable

same, riding with poles gives me that extra feeling of balance on rails or mid-air. There's a reason that, gymnastics got that huge large pole in their hands while beeing on a highline. Also poles help me to wind up the spin a bit better.

Andre they use those for balance tho are you holding your poles sideways?

Opposite for me because i do a lot of skateboarding and hockey wear ur empty handed or something very light

for me i like to ski without poles sometimes because sometimes i rely on them too much

j'avais même pas capté que c'était du québecois ahah

À 2:08?

Buttery steeze is hard to do with poles

ayo unless u only do park then try poles again, they really helpful

Make sure u know how to pop and start out on very small jumps. Make sure you get over the knuckle (flat part in between the take off and landing) also try some boxes small wide ones r best. Make sure you can ski switch (skiing backwards)

@@themeatman244 or at least 180 or spin back to forwards comfortably and quickly

Wait I always wondered why poles are so important in the back country or just thick powder, for pushing maybe?

@@koolkid3908 There are plenty of reasons, they generally do still offer a lot of support because of their widened end piece, and in most situations the powder snow won't be so deep that your poles never reach condensed snowpack, and it helps with your posture going into your corners. Poles in general also have many other uses such as helping with traversing, checking snow depth before you make a descend, checking the snowpack itself to see how the balance is between condensed snow, fluff, and potential icy top layer. It is simply very rare that the snow is in a condition where poles don't serve a purpose, and when you're skiing proper backcountry, skiing posture is 10x more important than on groomed runs.

I did it without poles and it wasn't a problem either with poles

I don't like doing flip with poles because I always have the fear to land sideway and hurting my ribs or something
