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

How do ski poles help you balance?

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.

Who was the first Indian to reach south pole?

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.
