BCT Freeride SQS Ski Poles

The Safety Quick Release System (SQS) is a safety feature in ski poles that allows the strap to detach quickly if it gets caught or if there’s too much tension. This is crucial in backcountry skiing, as it helps prevent injuries by allowing the skier to free themselves if they fall or if the pole gets stuck in the snow.

The Wrapped FR Grip is designed for comfort and control, especially in off-piste or backcountry skiing. The grip is covered with a material that provides better traction, allowing skiers to hold the pole securely in various positions. This design helps improve your overall performance and stability while navigating challenging terrains.

A carbide tip is made from a very hard material that is highly resistant to wear and damage. This durability is essential when skiing on rocky or icy terrain, as it ensures that the pole maintains its effectiveness over time. With a carbide tip, you can ski confidently, knowing your poles can withstand tough conditions.

Powder baskets are wide, circular attachments at the bottom of ski poles that help prevent the poles from sinking too deep into soft, powdery snow. They provide better flotation, making it easier for skiers to navigate through deep snow conditions. Using powder baskets can enhance your skiing experience by allowing for smoother movement in challenging snow.

Five Star Aluminum refers to a high-quality type of aluminum used in ski pole construction. This material is lightweight yet strong, offering excellent tensile strength, which means it can withstand significant force without breaking. Choosing ski poles made from Five Star Aluminum ensures you have durable and high-performing equipment for your skiing adventures.

The combination of the Safety Quick Release System, Wrapped FR Grip, carbide tip, powder baskets, and Five Star Aluminum all work together to enhance your skiing experience. These features provide safety, comfort, durability, and improved performance, allowing you to ski confidently in various conditions, whether on groomed trails or in deep powder. Investing in ski poles with these attributes can significantly elevate your skiing adventures.
