Aluminum ski poles
prices on 60 modelsAluminum
— aluminum ski poles are heavier than carbon ones, but the material aluminum better withstands impacts and slight bends without breaking immediately. Such a pole might bend under heavy load, but it can often be straightened and continue skiing, which is convenient for enthusiasts, beginners, and those who often ski in woods, on bumps, or in the park. Aluminum models are usually cheaper, and you don't feel as bad if a pole is crushed by a ski, struck against a rock, or dropped from a lift. Therefore, aluminum is a practical choice for rentals, family skiing, and those just getting into skiing.
