Ski poles only help you balance when you are a beginner. Beginners who rely on their ski poles for balance end up learning some bad habits of form, some ski areas won't even give students poles until they're an intermediate skier! Ski poles are more about rhythm, and when you're in difficult terrain, like moguls, they help you with unweighting. (They are also very handy for unhooking bindings and for pointing to things in the distance ;-) ) If you are relying on your poles for balance, or dragging them while you ski because that makes you feel secure, you might want to try skiing without them for awhile. You'll develop balance much faster without them.

Can you attach pole guards to gs ski poles?

yes, i see many junior racers zipping around with slalom pole guards attached to gs poles, however when you put pole guards on gs poles it becomes harder to tuck with the guards on, it can be tricky putting pole guards on too, when i put mine on my slalom poles, i had to use my own longer screws not the ones that came with the guards and i also had to put the guard onto the bottom end(smaller diameter) of the pole and hammer it up to the top, to see what i mean about how its harder to tuck, try skiing around with just the gs poles try tucking somewhat, then put the guards on and feel the difference

Do all organisms help keep the balance of an ecosystem?

No, not all organisms help keep the balance of an ecosystem. Some organisms can disrupt the balance by overpopulating or outcompeting other species, leading to imbalances. However, in a healthy ecosystem, there is a complex web of relationships where different organisms play specific roles in maintaining the balance.
