The Alpina Pioneer Adj ski poles use an aircraft-grade aluminum 7075 shaft built to hold up to serious backcountry use without adding unnecessary weight. Adjustable length adapts the pole to different terrain and skiing styles across a single day out, and a cork grip paired with an XC Comfort strap keeps the hold warm and secure. A wide XC BC basket floats in deep snow, and a carbide tip bites into icy conditions when traction matters most.
