Scott Aluguide Ski Poles

Yes, they are specifically designed for backcountry use. The two-part aluminum construction offers the necessary durability for varied terrain, while the extended foam grip makes it easy to adjust your hand position quickly during steep ascents.

These poles use a simple, reliable locking mechanism. You just twist or flip the lock to release the shaft, slide it to your preferred length between 105 and 140 cm, and secure it back in place.

Yes, the baskets are interchangeable. While they come with 90mm powder baskets for deep snow, you can replace them with smaller baskets if you plan to use these poles for resort skiing or on firmer, groomed runs.

When fully collapsed, the poles measure 82 cm. This makes them easy to strap to the side of a ski pack for boot-packing or when you need to stow them away during travel.

The extended foam grip allows you to choke up on the pole without having to stop and adjust the length. This is particularly useful when side-hilling or navigating steep switchbacks where your uphill hand needs to be positioned lower on the shaft.
