Altai Ski Pole

In 2022 we started working with a Finnish partner who had developed some ski poles to sell in Finland. We settled on a two piece adjustable and after a few modifications we now have our adjustable ski poles. Our focus (as usual) is for use in the backcountry, so we went with a longer maximum adjustment (150 cm) and 7000 series Aluminum. We also went with two basket styles, a large deep powder basket and a standard snowflake basket. The cork grip is lengthened with a dense foam handle for traversing sidehills. We use a cam lock for the adjustment lock- we feel that over time these work better then twist locks.

Here are the Specs on the poles:

• Two piece 7000 series aluminum
• Up to 150 cm length adjustment
• Cam lock for length adjustment
• Two different baskets (powder and regular snowflake)
• Rubber booties for the carbide tips for summer use
• Extended foam down the handle for lower grip when needed.
• Weight(pair) – (with snowflake basket) 19 oz. (with powder basket)21 oz.
• Finish design, manufactured in China
