Snowblades, also known as skiboards, are a popular alternative to traditional skis for those looking for a fun and unique skiing experience. They are shorter than traditional skis, making them easier to maneuver and control, especially for beginners. One question that often arises for those new to snowblading is whether or not poles should be used.

The answer to this question is somewhat subjective and depends on the individual's preferences and skill level. Some snowbladers prefer to use poles, while others find them unnecessary or even cumbersome.
Here are some factors to consider when deciding whether or not to use poles with snowblades:
Skill Level
For beginners or those new to snowblading, poles can provide added stability and help with balance. Poles can also assist with turns and help to maintain proper form. However, for more experienced snowbladers, poles may be less necessary and can even get in the way.
Terrain
The type of terrain you will be snowblading on can also play a role in determining whether or not to use poles. On steeper or more challenging slopes, poles may provide added support and balance. However, on flatter terrain or in the terrain park, poles may not be necessary and can even get in the way of tricks and maneuvers.
Personal Preference
Ultimately, the decision to use poles with snowblades is a personal one. Some snowbladers prefer the added stability and support that poles provide, while others find them unnecessary and prefer the freedom of not using them. Experimenting with and without poles can help you determine what works best for you and your snowblading style. 
If you do decide to use poles with snowblades, it is important to choose the right size. Poles that are too long can throw off your balance and make it difficult to maneuver. Poles that are too short can be ineffective and not provide the support you need. To determine the correct size, stand with your snowblades on and your arms at your sides. Your elbows should be at a 90-degree angle when holding the poles.
In conclusion, the decision to use poles with snowblades is a personal one and depends on individual preferences and skill level. Poles can provide added stability and support, but can also be unnecessary or even cumbersome for more experienced snowbladers. Ultimately, experimenting with and without poles can help you determine what works best for you and your snowblading style.
