Our Atomic BCT Freeride SQS is the perfect ski pole if you're dealing with deep, fresh powder. It is made of 5* lightweight aluminum with low swing weight and high tensile strength. It has a wrapped Freeride grip - inspired by bicycle grips - which means the top shaft of the pole is wrapped in tape with a rubber top. This provides a grip that is non-slip and ideal for climbing and which you can also customize. It also features Atomic SQS, our safety quick release system that instantly releases your webbing under tension to prevent injury. Plus, extra-large powder baskets to stay on top of the deep stuff.
