A simple pole to get you into any kind of terrain. With formed grips and a durable build, these poles will stand up to anything you throw at them!

Ergonomic grips and straps for easy and comfortable use, just an overall solid pole that will last for a few seasons!

K2 Power Aluminum Ski Poles · 2021
These poles will last a long time. Further, they have formed rubber grips and medium-large baskets to help float in powder.

Atomic AMT Ski Poles · 2022
Reliable, all mountain pole. These poles have a quick release strap to prevent wrist injuries. Made with aluminum and has ergonomic grips!

K2 Style Alu Ski Poles · 2021
Lighter skiers who don't need a thick heavy-duty pole for off-piste exploration. A simple straightforward pole choice that will be durable enough to handle anything!

Rossignol Double Diamond Pro Ski Poles
These feature the best of both worlds with a thicker mid shaft that comes with a narrower women's handle grip! Durability and comfort rolled into one pair that comes in a sleek design and will be the best pole for when you progress a bit AND for when there is a layer of powder on the slopes. Bi-injected components help absorb shock and vibration so you hands keep a secure grip on the pole at all times. The powder baskets are removable and can be switched out to other sizes as well.

Rossignol Poker Pro Ski Poles
Ultimate versatility! Adjustable high-quality Rossi straps and a powder basket switch-out capability with two sizes, 60mm & 85mm for customized performance depending on where you are skiing. Spot them instantly at the ski rack or in the snow with their vivid color. Highly rated and dependable overall.

Black Diamond Carbon Compactor Ski Poles
The Carbon Compactor poles are very easy to transport due to being able to be broken down into 3 pieces, yet they remain rigid and secure due to BD's Z-pole tech. Great lightweight backcountry pole.

You can adjust these ski poles to function in any condition. Extend them for those huge powder days and shorten them if you're heading to the park!

The Carbon Compactor is a lightweight and foldable pole. They have an adjustable length and steel tips.

Line Grip Stick Ski Poles · 2022
A great lightweight pole with ergonomic grips. Really solid ski pole that comes with two different baskets and reliable Velcro straps.

Line Hairpin Women's Ski Poles · 2022
Another great option from Line with a nice color scheme / pattern. These have a GrabTab that extends over the hand from the top of the pole, to keep the pole in place even when it gets knocked around. Ergonomic grips and large wrist loops to go over gloves. These will last a long time and are at an affordable price for great poles! 46in / 115cm length for you. All-day downhill skiing poles with great features for ease of use!

These are awesome for anyone looking to get a nice light-weight yet durable pair of poles! Great design!

Roxy Shima Skis Poles · 2021
These are lightweight but still very strong. The ergonomic handle provides comfort for all day skiing and the medium sized basket and steel tip are ideal for all-mountain skiing.

Salomon Icon Ergo S3 Ski Poles · 2021
Safety spring allows the pole to separate from skier during crashes. Comes with an aluminum shaft and standard basket.

Swix Elite Just Click XC Ski Poles
Great pole if you plan on spending time in the track or on bc trails.

Leki Haute Route Ski Poles
Leki builds top of the line equipment. This pole is no exception. They provide the most ergonomic grip on the market, and with a larger basket on the bottom, give you a stable platform whenever you're skiing in deeper snow. This version, although approaching a higher price point, is an adjustable pole that is at the bottom of the adjustable market for price. A great option to consider when skiing in different conditions can often put you in a position that requires a different length ski pole.

Leki Bliss Alpine Ski Poles
Having a smaller diameter means your hand won't fatigue as easily. T adjustable straps come with a security lock which is a nice addition, as well as a pointed steel tip for breakthroughs when the conditions turn icier.

Leki Quantum Alpine Ski Poles
Leki makes great poles! These are the shorter of the two options, but I prefer a shorter pole as it forces you to focus on your skis while learning and not use the pole as a crutch mechanism.

Black Diamond Compactor Ski Poles
Adjustable length pole that is highly compactible, the Mercedes of poles.

Black Diamond Expedition 2 Ski Poles · 2022
The Black Diamond Expedition 2 Ski Poles are a well-built everyday pole capable of going into the backcountry. With a usable length of 95-145cm, this pole is ideal right in the middle at about 120cm for most skiers. But if it's time to tour in some deep snow, make them extra long to keep you going up the skin track with ease.

The Black Diamond Expedition 2 Ski Poles are recommended for skiers seeking an easy pair of poles to manage. At only 535g per pair, this pole is a lightweight aluminum pole that is adjustable and secure with its Flicklock mechanism.

K2 Style Composite
Anyone who is looking for a lightweight pole that will bring outstanding durability, this is the one for you.

Line Wallisch Stick Ski Poles · 2021
Any skier will enjoy these though they were originally designed for someone who skis jumps, park and pipe. (Tom Wallisch)

The tip is a screwdriver and can be used for on the fly adjustments.

Atomic Redster Ski Poles
Still not top of the line but for the price it's the best option out there! High strength aluminum alloy shafts, comfortable grips and strong straps! It's really everything you need!

Aluminum poles carry a little more weight but they come with really nice durability.

Durable aluminum pole with ergonomic grips for all mountain downhill skiing.

Black Diamond Traverse Ski Poles · 2022
These Black Diamond backcountry poles allow a useable length from 95-155cm, or for someone between 4'4" and 6'7". This added versatility comes from a patented Flicklock system that allows the skier to adjust the length of the pole at the flick of a button.

K2 Lockjaw Aluminum Ski Poles · 2022
This is actually an adjustable pole, which is really nice because you can dial in the length exactly to your preference! Some people like a longer pole if their ski area has a lot of skating across cat tracks/flats.

Atomic Pro JR Ski Poles
Lightweight shaft and comfortable grips! The only real difference with Jr poles is they're a little narrower for a lower weight and come in a smaller size range but otherwise it's just like a pretty standard adult pole.

G3 VIA Aluminium Long Navy Ski Poles
Nice wide baskets with carbide tips for a great grippy feel as you hike!

Rossignol Touring Pro Foldable XV 135 Ski Poles
Lightweight, strong, aluminum pole. In the resort these can act like a regular pole but they have longer grips to help you adjust to the pitch while skiing and they're collapsible for easy travel too!
