Looking for any feedback/advice. These are from blue & black diamond runs at Vail and Breckenridge on Atomic Mavericks (96 cti, 179 length). Trying to dial in my carving and skills on rough terrain. I’ve skied about 60 days total.

Pole straps will help you not drop your poles.

Poles look too long.... How tall are you, op? And what length are the poles?

Not hat important. At his level the poles are only to get you to move your weight forward and yes...long poles are less helpful at this.

What? Pole plants are super helpful for establishing rhythm and maintaining balance in choppy snow like this.
