Alpine ski poles - the ski poles for special challenges
Alpine ski poles must be adapted to the conditions on the downhill slopes and therefore differ from a Cross-country skiing or touring ski pole.
The race can begin with alpine ski poles at XSPO
Only if a ski pole is adapted to its area of use will it be of help to the athlete and ultimately improve their sporting performance. Alpine ski poles are specially curved. This is an advantage on descents, as the Poles adapt to the skier's body. This makes it easier and quicker to manoeuvre around obstacles on the piste.
Anyone who has dedicated themselves to alpine skiing is travelling fast and attaches great importance to the right equipment. Models from leading manufacturers are available in the ski online shop at XSPO. These are not only affordable, but also offer a high level of safety and are state of the art. The material is often a combination of aluminium and carbon. The alpine ski poles are small in diameter yet stable and manoeuvrable. Telescopic poles are also adjustable and offer the athlete a great deal of flexibility.
Alpine racing is different from a normal piste descent for leisure skiers. The equipment should be adapted accordingly. Alpine skiing requires ski poles that give the skier safety and are light, manoeuvrable and yet robust. This is achieved through a special design and material composition.
Alpine ski poles are specially designed for descents in alpine terrain. The Poles serve to push the athlete at the start and ensure that the skier does not lose their balance once they have picked up speed. Ski poles also make it easier to climb up the slope or move forwards on the ski lift.
