Atomic BCT Touring SQS Ski Poles

Built from high-grade aluminum and featuring an adjustable length, these poles strike the sweet spot between strength, reliability, and touring versatility. They’re tough enough for big backcountry days yet light and balanced enough for quick resort laps.

The extended EVA foam grip is a standout — giving you plenty of room to shift your hand positions on steep skin tracks or tricky traverses. The ergonomic design makes long climbs more comfortable, while Atomic’s SQS (Safety Quick Release) strap system automatically releases under tension, keeping you safer in a crash or avalanche scenario.

This is a pole for the committed ski tourer — someone who values functional design, comfort on the ascent, and security on the descent. Ideal for mixed terrain and variable snowpack, it’s a favorite among those who want one setup that just works every day of the season.

What you’ll love: serious construction, smart features, dependable performance. What to watch for: the flick-lock may need the occasional tighten to stay dialed.

In short — if you’re done with basic poles and ready for something capable, confidence-inspiring, and built to move with you, the BCT Touring SQS has your back (and your hands).
