PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Black Diamond Powder Baskets are a backcountry skier's wet dream. Downward facing teeth improve traction and minimize basket skating on steep terrain, while upward facing claws are ideal for pulling up on your tele-vators or heel lifters. If you live life away from lift lines and guys in jeans and rear-entry boots, you should own a pair of these. They'll make life in the backcountry that much more enjoyable (is that possible??). BD baskets are also easily removed when converting lower pole shafts into a probe.
Bottom line
Finally, a basket designed for the backcountry.
Product Reviews
Excellent Baskets
Great baskets, but I have noticed that Black Diamond needs to extend the naming regime of their entire line of baskets due to the fact that they have multiple kinds of "powder" baskets depending on whether you buy these seperately or buy the carbon fiber flick lock poles. It becomes confusing for the customer, which can be simply cleared up by just a little bit more effort on behalf of Black Diamond's executives. Sometimes I wonder about these executive type people, but try not to. Because this usually leads to indigestion. C'mon folks! Do your job, it's not that difficult.
Simple Design
Great baskets when you are in the deep powder. Easy design to change baskets.
powder baskets
With these baskets on my Black Diamond Syncrho Elliptic trekking poles and my Atlas 1012 Series snowshoes on my feet, i feel like a caterpillar crawling over anything in my way!
mmm powder
Went right on and worked great.
Great for resort riding
If you find that you will be using your BD poles mainly for resort riding, I would go with the Powder Baskets. They provide a little more surface area to keep from completely punching through on deep days. Great low price to pick a spare pair.
