Great steep skinning and side-slipping tool

By fcnpereira2302339 Ranked #185 - Backcountry Ski Poles June 6, 2010

Got a single Whippet for my dominant (left) hand in remembrance of a long nasty fall last Spring skiing season. It came in very handy this season to recover from a couple of slips while skinning steep icy slopes, and in providing a third point of contact while side-slipping down through steep notches. It's a bit scary when skiing fast, so I keep the tip in the protector when the sliding risk is lower.
