And actually pole planting in a steep slalom course brings your body over the front of the skis and helps keep your body facing down the hill, which will make you faster.
Actually you are all wrong. Poles aren't for timing or looking cool or for being aerodynamic (maybe a little on the last one). They are mainly for balance. Try skiing a fast GS without poles and see how it feels. I bet you can't do it. They help a lot with balance and also with turn initiation with the pole plant.
Crazy how someone with such questionable form can win so much. He's a natural and a freak of nature all in one.

Actually poles are mostly for timing in all but slalom, with the exception of the start where you can hopefully get a few good pushes
