Backcountry Ski & Race Poles

Racers like ultralight and stiff carbon fiber shafts that transfer power efficiently. Two-piece poles are handy when you might need to put your poles on your pack. Features like a choke-up grip alleviate the need to adjust when side-hilling. Find skimo racing, mountaineering, and ski touring poles here.

Like a wizard’s wand or a samurai’s sword, the right ski poles ought to speak to one’s style and personal philosophy. If you’re drawn towards undertaking a hero’s journey to the high peaks (or at least an FKT to the top of your local test piece), the Dynafit DNA Pole is a worthy companion. Hewn from 100% carbon fiber and imprinted with racing stripes, these poles are a handy visual..

The TR Carbon Race Pole by One Way is sold as a kit in one length and is built for one purpose: taking first place. The pole comes ready to dance in a 145cm length but can be "permanently adjusted" (gently of course) to your preferred length. As the name would imply, the pole is made from ultralight carbon - even the handle has carbon infused plastic. The result is a simple and fea..

While cavemen used their rough walk..

Months of training runs that start in the daylight and end with a headlamp, solo dawn patrols, and many thousands of vertical feet climbed all go into winning a race.
