When I moved to Snowmass Village, co in 1992, I purchased a pair of Black Diamond poles which are identical to the Traverse but doesn't say so on the poles. This is my 17th year working on the hill and the poles lasted until this afternoon. I had them in the PVC rack on the snowmobile and bent them when they got hung up on a boundary rope. I paid $28 on a pro-form back then and now have no reservations about paying full retail for my replacement pair. These poles are pretty much bomb proof. I am estimating roughly 2100 days of resort working/skiing and 300+ days in the backcountry with my first pair. You can't go wrong with these.
