Black Diamond Traverse Ski Poles
From weekday dawn patrols to deep tree laps, the Traverse is Black Diamond’s classic all-aluminum touring pole—built to handle years of abuse in the backcountry. Sturdy 18 mm and 16 mm aluminum shafts keep things simple and reliable, while FlickLock adjustability makes on-the-fly length changes quick and secure.
The updated touring grip features dual-density rubber for improved ergonomics and all-day comfort, paired with a durable touring strap and ladder-lock buckle. A 100 mm powder basket provides float in soft snow, and the indexed ferrule makes the Traverse compatible with ¾ baskets when you need a smaller footprint.
Durable, dependable, and no-nonsense, the Traverse is the kind of pole you’ll trust on everything from quick laps to long traverses.
