Great Poles, Brutal Baskets

By SamR Ranked #1381 - Alpine Skiing February 14, 2010

The quality of the pole & grip are excellent. I would never consider skiing with anything but Scott S4 aluminum. I purchased these because they were on sale & because they had much bigger baskets for deep snow than the Scott S4 racing poles . Coincidentally, the baskets are the major downside to these poles. After 30 days of normal use, both ripped off completely. They were still worth the price for the S4 shafts, but you'll definitely need a backup set of baskets in the near future.
