Hold your poles and use the hand straps
When you are sking make sure to hold your poles and put your arms in the straps.
I am saying thins becasue one time I lost me balnace and droped my poles halfway down and I had to go back up and then come down slow to get them. |

Yes, the best way to do it is to put your arm through the strap and then hold the remainder of the strap againsts the pole. Diagram below explains it much better..

Just as important as putting them on before you go down the hill is taking them off before you load on the lift or chair. I have seen people get injured by their pole jamming in the snow and poking them. And I am not innocent myself I snapped a pole last season by being lazy and not taking my strap off.

ya i dont use my straps and i have no problem dropping them or anything. if you dont fall it isnt that big of a deal. just make sure you hold on to them.
