What is a pole turn?
Ah, thanks, with you now. I expect that Warren Smith would have a posh name for those turns :D

Sometimes its impossible. I think that the old fashion parallel short turns are the only way

I tend to do lots of short pole turns if the terrain permits in a tight situation.

Turns using your poles to get round quicker. Pole planting, if you are being pedantic. No good in deep snow though!
