What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I’ve been skiing everything from groomers to trees with the Phantastick 18mm poles and they’ve held up incredibly well. The grip feels natural even with gloves on, and switching between alpine and powder baskets is easy depending on the day’s conditions."Whether we're lapping groomers or chasing fresh lines off-piste, the Phantastick 18mm Poles keep our turns dialed in and our grip locked down. Völkl crafted these all-mountain essentials with lightweight but sturdy 7075 aluminum to hold up under pressure—whether we're carving corduroy or navigating choppy powder. Comfort meets function with the dual-density Phantastick grip, designed to stay secure in gloved hands. The powder strap evenly distributes tension around the wrist for all-day ease, and included alpine and powder baskets let us adapt to changing terrain. These poles are available down to 90cm for dedicated youth and shorter riders who demand the same durability and performance.
