Black Diamond Powder Baskets - 1 Pair

Black Diamond Powder Baskets are a backcountry skier's wet dream. Downward facing teeth improve traction and minimize basket skating on steep terrain, while upward facing claws are ideal for pulling up on your tele-vators or heel lifters. If you live life away from lift lines and guys in jeans and rear-entry boots, you should own a pair of these. They'll make life in the backcountry that much more enjoyable (is that possible??). BD baskets are also easily removed when converting lower pole shafts into a probe.

Bottom Line: Finally, a basket designed for the backcountry.

With these baskets on my Black Diamond Syncrho Elliptic trekking poles and my Atlas 1012 Series snowshoes on my feet, i feel like a caterpillar crawling over anything in my way!

Great for resort riding

If you find that you will be using your BD poles mainly for resort riding, I would go with the Powder Baskets. They provide a little more surface area to keep from completely punching through on deep days. Great low price to pick a spare pair.

Basket improvement

These replacement baskets are similar in size to the originals, however, they are stiffer, and therefore are better in light powder conditions. I found that these baskets work better with the heel risers on my Silvretta bindings than the originals. More precise feel to them. Worth the money if your originals are a little soft!

I got a few pair, and they fit perfectly on my BD poles, as well as my BCA poles. Good stuff. Does the trick as expected.

Excellent Baskets

By: MountainMan Cowboy (9)

Great baskets, but I have noticed that Black Diamond needs to extend the naming regime of their entire line of baskets due to the fact that they have multiple kinds of "powder" baskets depending on whether you buy these seperately or buy the carbon fiber flick lock poles. It becomes confusing for the customer, which can be simply cleared up by just a little bit more effort on behalf of Black Diamond's executives. Sometimes I wonder about these executive type people, but try not to. Because this usually leads to indigestion. C'mon folks! Do your job, it's not that difficult.
