Level Freeride Ski Pole (2010)

Snapping a ski pole during an epic day is downright frustrating—and, inevitably, a huge waste of time. Level’s new Freeride ski pole aims to keep you on the hill and out of the shop. The pole’s cloverleaf shaft design increases tensile strength while also maintaining the pole’s light swing-weight. In addition, the Freeride takes a new tack on adjustable ski poles: The soft plastic grip has two height positions, which comes in handy in the backcountry.
