To pole or not to pole? The question has been given serious thought by many of our readers and the top five answers have been chosen by Scott USA, a clear proponent of poling.
Here are the winners of some serious prizes from Scott:
1st Place
Clandestino Films , firm believers in skiers using poles. Congratulations guys, you’ll recieve Scott goggles, poles and the Scott P3 skis.
2nd Place
Second place goes to Freeskier.com user naterizzle .
His article gives many a humorous reason to shred WITH poles.
3rd Place
Third place goes to Freeskier.com user Josh .
His opinion is that without poles, much less fun would be had on the snow.
4th Place
Fourth place goes to Freeskier.com user Wesley .
He says skiing WITHOUT poles is the way to go, mostly because it makes it easier to grab Lui-Kang.
5th Place
Fifth place goes to Freeskier.com user Marcus Horn .
Marcus gives us a sarcastic look at the reasons for skiing with poles.
Second through fifth place will all receive poles from Scott USA, sorry Wes.
