The Atomic BCT Freeride SQS is the perfect ski pole if you’re dealing with deep, fresh powder. It’s made from lightweight aluminum with a low swing weight and high tensile strength. It has a wrapped Freeride grip – inspired by bike grips – which means the upper shaft of the pole is wrapped in tape with a rubber top. This provides a grip that’s non-slip and great for climbing and one you can also customize. It also features Atomic SQS, our Safety Quick Release System that instantly releases your strap under tension to prevent injuries. Plus extra-wide powder baskets for staying on top of the deep stuff.
