Black Diamond Expedition Ski Poles

$129.95

The backcountry daily driver.

No-nonsense, no-frills, and built to last the whole season, the Black Diamond Expedition Ski Poles are the adjustable aluminum poles that backcountry skiers reach for every day. Two-piece 18mm upper and 16mm lower aluminum shafts with FlickLock locking mechanisms make length adjustment fast and reliable in any conditions, and a PH3 screwdriver bit hidden in the lower shaft keeps field repairs in reach when you need them. Extended EVA foam grips handle grip fatigue on long tours, a straight-edge grip-top scrapes ice and snow off skis without a dedicated tool, and a tactile rubber beak on the grip makes binding adjustments easy on the skin track with gloves on. Girth-hitched straps remove in seconds if you prefer to go strapless. 100mm powder baskets handle variable snow conditions from packed to deep. These are the poles you grab every time. Get a pair before the snow flies.
