Remember that we're all PMTSians here. So if you want advice, which is worth exactly what you pay for it, it comes in one flavor and one flavor only, PMTS.
Once you get to a certain point in your skiing, it's easy to make turns without poles. Our old pal Juan Pierre does it all the time, in da bumpity bumps. But if you're really looking for great turns, you gotta bring back polling to your quiver.
In the Expert 2 book, there's a whole chapter on pole use. Not that I've read any of the books mind you, I just like to look at the pictures.
Do you have the book? It might be the best $39.95 you ever spent. You could also go check it out in the library.
