Expedition Carbon Pro Ski Poles

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I toured with the Expedition Carbon Pro Ski Poles all season near Crested Butte, and the FlickLock let me shorten them for the skin track and extend them for the descent in seconds. The rubber beak on the grip made flipping my heel risers painless even with gloves on, and the hidden hex bit fixed a loose binding screw mid tour without me needing a multitool."

The skin track kicks uphill just as the sun clears the ridge, and the Expedition Carbon Pro Ski Poles from Black Diamond adjust down in seconds to match the pitch. Climb steady through the switchbacks, extend the poles back out at the transition, and drop into the descent without ever breaking stride. This is a pole built to move with the day, not against it.

The carbon shaft keeps things light on long approaches, while the FlickLock Pro mechanism locks in bomber and adjusts fast between 100mm and 155mm depending on the model, so the same poles work for a quick lap or a full day out. A rubber beak on the grip makes flipping heel risers effortless, and the hidden screwdriver and hex bit mean a loose screw or binding tweak never has to cut a tour short.
