Description
The Salomon Steep Nasturtium Rainy Day Ski Poles are designed for skiers who like to switch between groomed runs and fresh powder. Thanks to their sturdy 18-mm aluminum construction, these ski poles offer a great balance between durability, weight, and control. The ergonomic Dual-Material Grip ensures a comfortable hold, while the wide 95-mm freeride basket provides extra support in soft snow. With their eye-catching orange color scheme, these Salomon ski poles are a practical and stylish choice for adventurous days on the slopes.
Shaft & Material: 6061 Aluminum
The shaft is made of 6061 aluminum, an alloy that combines strength with a relatively low weight. The 18 mm diameter ensures a solid construction suitable for regular use on and off the slopes.
Grip & Strap: Dual-Material Grip
The ergonomic Dual-Material Grip combines different materials for a comfortable and secure grip. The classic wrist strap keeps the poles within easy reach and offers added convenience while skiing.
Basket & Tip: Interchangeable Freeride
The wide 95 mm freeride basket is designed to provide extra support in deep and soft snow. This helps prevent the poles from sinking too quickly while freeriding. Thanks to the interchangeable basket system, you can replace the basket with a compatible alternative. The standard tip completes the design.
Length & Weight: Fixed Length
The Salomon Steep has a fixed length and is available from 100 to 135 cm, in 5-cm increments. With a listed weight of 250 grams per pole, the model remains easy to handle during long days on the slopes.
Level & Terrain: All-Mountain / Freeride
These ski poles are ideal for recreational and athletic skiers who want to ski both on the slopes and in powder snow. The sturdy aluminum construction and wide freeride basket make them particularly well-suited for those who enjoy exploring different types of terrain.
Size Guide: Correct Pole Length
Multiply your height by 0.7 for an initial estimate of the correct pole length. Then check that your elbow forms an angle of approximately 90 degrees when you hold the pole upside down just below the basket. For freeride, a slightly shorter length might be worth considering, depending on your skiing style and preferences.
