What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“These poles are my go-to for everyday touring. The adjustment system is simple and bombproof, and I love having the rubber ‘beak’ for quick binding tweaks on the skintrack. Plus, the hidden PH3 screwdriver has saved me more than once mid-tour.”Reliable, lightweight, and built to adapt on the skintrack—Expedition Ski Poles are designed to keep pace with the rhythm of touring days. Their two-piece aluminum construction balances strength and packability, while Black Diamond’s FlickLock mechanism lets skiers fine-tune pole length in seconds, even with gloves on. Whether adjusting boots, scraping iced-over skins, or tackling an unexpected binding hiccup, the Expedition grips are ready. The extended EVA foam provides a sure grip on sidehills, while the integrated rubber “beak” offers a quick tool for buckle tweaks. A hidden PH3 screwdriver in the shaft brings trail-side repair capability without added bulk. For powder missions or technical skintracks, these poles make every transition just a bit smoother.
