yes, i see many junior racers zipping around with slalom pole guards attached to gs poles, however when you put pole guards on gs poles it becomes harder to tuck with the guards on, it can be tricky putting pole guards on too, when i put mine on my slalom poles, i had to use my own longer screws not the ones that came with the guards and i also had to put the guard onto the bottom end(smaller diameter) of the pole and hammer it up to the top, to see what i mean about how its harder to tuck, try skiing around with just the gs poles try tucking somewhat, then put the guards on and feel the difference
Ski poles only help you balance when you are a beginner. Beginners who rely on their ski poles for balance end up learning some bad habits of form, some ski areas won't even give students poles until they're an intermediate skier! Ski poles are more about rhythm, and when you're in difficult terrain, like moguls, they help you with unweighting. (They are also very handy for unhooking bindings and for pointing to things in the distance ;-) ) If you are relying on your poles for balance, or dragging them while you ski because that makes you feel secure, you might want to try skiing without them for awhile. You'll develop balance much faster without them.
liv arnesen was the first women to reach the south pole in 1994...she is a Norwegian.
Lois Jones and her team of eight women traveled to the South Pole by ski. They completed the journey by skiing up to 16 hours a day, enduring harsh weather conditions and challenging terrain to reach their goal. Their successful expedition in 1995 made them the first all-women group to ski to the South Pole.
The distance from Wisconsin to the North Pole is approximately 2,000 miles if you were to fly directly north. If you were to walk, ski, or travel by other land methods, the distance would be longer due to the need to navigate around obstacles and bodies of water.
It is thought that the first actual civilization to reach the North Pole may have been the ancient Inuit Native Americans because they had occupied the area for a long time before anyone else. There is a big but to this thought, as there is no documentation of any of these trips and whether or not the Inuit people would have travelled so far is debatable.
'Sticks' used to ski are called skiing poles.
Nobody actually invented them. Ski poles were first used since the start of skiing. But I suppose you can call Ed Scott the inventor of the modern ones, since he, in 1958, was the one with an idea of aluminum poles. The aluminum poles are still the main types of ski pole on the market.
If it wasn't for the basket the poles would just fall down through the snow.
Skier bash their poles together before a race, so that they get the snow out of their baskets in the pole. Also bashing your poles together can get the skier "pumped up". It a way to get the adrenaline pumping through you body.
