Worthy ski-moutaineering tool

By Andy Jacobsen Ranked #111 - Backcountry Ski Poles May 31, 2009

Nice steep skiing tool. Although they are a little heavier than your average pole they make up for it in peace of mind when skiing or hiking in "no-fall" zones. They are super helpful when booting up steep, firm snow on all fours. I normally will use one whippet and one regular ski pole. I only take two whippets when I am headed to the super-duper gnar.
