Black Diamond Traverse Ski Poles

By Nate Blouin Ranked #146 - Backcountry Ski Poles December 9, 2009

I got these a few days ago, and have used them for a couple days at the Bird. While they aren't as light as I expected, they are definitely sturdier and more durable. The grip is great and the flicklock mechanism is pretty incredible. Pow baskets are super nice as well. Considering they are cheaper than most "high end" poles, I don't know why you wouldn't go for these. If you can only afford one pair of poles for resort/side/backcountry, definitely grab these!
