Ski Poles

Aluminium ski poles are suitable for most skiers as they are strong and light enough to withstand the demands of resort riding. Carbon ski poles raise the bar as an even lighter and stronger option. Carbon offers a more premium experience and flexes naturally as you ski.

Safety release straps are a mechanism that prevents injury in the event your pole jams. The release system disconnects you from the pole, protecting your arm and shoulder. Look for this option when browsing ski poles; we highly recommend it.

Most brands offer a powder basket, a piste basket, or both. Powder baskets are large and soft to help your ski pole float in deeper snow. Piste baskets are smaller and stiffer to press against hardpack snow. Choose the basket that best supports your style of skiing.
