Can I use these Poles in the winter/snow?
- Absolutely – Pole Walking stems from Cross Country Skiing – it’s just Cross Country Skiing without the snow!
- If there is snow and ice though– the Poles add stability to walking on slippery & uneven ground.
- By simply removing the rubber Pole feet & using the carbide-tips your walking poles act like ice-picks grabbing at the ice or snow.
- But it is still suggested that you wear spikes or coils for your boots to ensure your feet will have a good solid grip as well. (These spikes or coils slip over your footwear like a galosha – you can find them at most outdoor / adventure gear stores).
- Walking on ice or snow with good traction on both your feet & your arms makes for some fun & safe winter walking…Just be sure & buddle-up warm.
