No. It is dangerous to do so. You could hurt any number of body parts, e.g. abdomen, internal organs, shoulders, elbows, wrists. A skier uses poles for timing, balance (although more a function of the hands, per se) and "blocking" in short radius turns. Never use poles to stop.

Skier bash their poles together before a race, so that they get the snow out of their baskets in the pole. Also bashing your poles together can get the skier "pumped up". It a way to get the adrenaline pumping through you body.
