Why arent Releasable poles straps the standard?
Hmmm. Like any quality thread, reading this one has created some moments of self reflection for me. I’m discovering I have strong feelings on straps in general.
I have identified that am:
- Aggressively anti pole strap
- Solidly pro outside of helmet goggle strap
- Anti Voile strap if you have bindings that click together
- Quite pro using strapping as a sling to carry skis on your back during boot packs
- Extremely anti any other kind of ski carrying straps
- Out of habit, anti powder ski straps. But I’m willing to listen.
- Very pro roof cargo straps
Who knew? Very helpful thread.

We had a TR all about double pole planting several years ago.

^^^^^^^Too difficult to express daddy issues through the medium of embroidery; sometimes it's what's not said that makes a statement.
I've recognized my own ambivalence thanks to this thread. I use straps. I appreciate them for what they do, don't scorn them for the potential for disaster. A pole strap is a fickle mistress. But if you want to run your shaft bareback, more power to you.
But any dummy that puts a hat or a goggle strap under a helmet, or anything more than a liner, might as well just throw the damn thing in the woods. If it doesn't fit properly it doesn't do you any good.

My favorite part about releasable pole straps, I can just leave the straps at home w/o cutting them off.
goggle straps on outside for me.
My helmet was purchased in 1997, purchased at wave rave in mammoth after I hit my head kinda hard on a powder day (skinny skis- 204’s).
I just discovered foam glue, and the helmet is almost like new! Along with three sets of goggles (used by the kids- all straps on outside).
Has anybody intentionally done that worm turned posted in a vid up thread? I tried a few times this weekend. Too much friction (TWSS) and not enough momentum. I always came to a halt while on my back.

If OP is going to be our resident pole expert and strap mentor he should learn to pronounce Leki correctly.

Now that we seem to be reaching the end of the poles, we need a poll. HOF material or not?
I say yes. But I acknowledge it's close.

I don’t see any Sugarloaf stickers. Maybe it’s on the back.

Well, I was confused because of mass media.
I was delighted, because, well Libertarianism.
Get the government off my back and out of my bedroom.
But I’m not sure I can read that book. It’s from the Cato Institute.
But then I saw this:
A revised, updated, and retitled edition of David Boaz’s classic book Libertarianism: A Primer, which was praised as uniting “history, philosophy, economics and law—spiced with just the right anecdotes—to bring alive a vital tradition of American political thought that deserves to be honored today” (Richard A. Epstein, University of Chicago)
As he worked himself into a free market frenzy, you could see the spittle forming in the corners of his mouth, until it would reach the middle, at which point implosives would erupt in a shower of spittle, completely distracting from his otherwise cogent and persuasive thoughts.
Bill Landes never spit on me. And he wore much nicer suits. Friedman also. Super smart. No spit.. . .

The mounting prevalence of diurnal vampire bears in the Transylvanian Alps notwithstanding, this is clear evidence of the necessity of pole straps for appropriate safety in an alpine environment:

Skier displays his dominance by showing his pole straps, the bear backs away.
Skier drops the straps, the bear viciously attacks.

Showing dominance via pole straps. I have learned something from the animal kingdom that is tgr.
It sounds slightly kinky when spoken out lout.It's a war of the mind and we're armed to the teeth.
