Ski Poles cheap
carbon fiber vs. aluminum ski poles?
What advantages are there to carbon ski poles and are they worth the extra cost?
I stole a great pair of Carbon Fiber poles one day in Vermont. I love them.
Just kidding. After bending or breaking aluminum poles for years I picked up a pair of Goode poles a few years ago. I beat the snot out of them for years. The basket broke before the pole did…actually, the pole never broke.
I bought another pair at end of season three years ago. I still use these but now switch off between a pair of aluminum Black Diamond poles. The carbon poles, while tough as heck, don’t adjust…so when I’m in the backcountry I used the BD poles. If I’m at the resort all day…I use the Goode poles.
Also…you can get a decent pair of carbon poles for $25. Just look around. They won’t break your bank.
