You’ve already bought your skis and boots, right? Good. Because now is when the real fun begins. Your ski day just wouldn’t be complete without a new accessory from each of the following categories. It’s that simple. These new lightweight poles practically do the work for you.

Manufactured in Norway and built for racing, this top-of-the-line pole uses 7075 alloy, a lightweight-grade aluminum. The racing handle and new alpine basket perform well at speed.
