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.
