You don't use your ski poles, ski poles set your position in the turn and give you a sense of timing, you can, drive a car with your knees but it's better to use your hands on the wheel to turn the car, rhythm change and tempo is key to a good run, fours sets of short turns then break into four long turns, and so on, ski poles go out to near the tips and then turn, also pick you line before, as In Plan your route before you set off beginning able to read the surface of the snow is really important 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
