Are Helio or Freeride baskets lighter/ There is no weight given for the Helio baskets?
Will both options fit on a Black diamond Razor carbon ski pole?

Hi Matha, the Helio basket is not compatible with the Razor carbon pole. In this case the Freeride basket is your best option.

Hi Ruth, it doesn't fit all poles, just ones with a replaceable basket mechanism similar to Black Diamond's.
Answer this question:
Pick up a pair of powder baskets to keep for deep days. Nothing is worse than losing a basket in Cascade Concrete and not having a spare to screw on (you might also be able to just find some in the spring at the trailhead). Green works well to differentiate your baskets when you lose em:)
