2. Fell super hard off a run off the summit chair in zero visibility and smashed the back of my helmet insanely hard into super hard snow. Do I need to replace my helmet now?
3. Can't skiers just ditch their poles (aka crutches) and use their legs and core to ski like adults, or do they still really need to flap around trying to poke everyone in the eye wherever they stumble?

On point 3 - poles improve balance and enhance rhythm. They tend to be of greater benefit to more experienced skiers than to beginners who don’t know how to use them proficiently.
Lastly, they are great for diverting out of control snowboarders coming your way. :;
