From long approaches to quick dawn patrol laps, the Black Diamond Expedition Ski Poles are purpose-built for backcountry skiers who value simplicity, strength, and functionality. These two-piece aluminum poles strike the perfect balance between lightweight performance and durable construction—ready to handle everything from deep powder days to technical ascents.

Featuring BD’s proven FlickLock® adjustment system, the Expedition Poles make on-the-fly length changes fast and secure, even with gloves on. A PH3 screwdriver bit cleverly hidden in the lower shaft means you’re never without a tool for quick binding or gear fixes in the field—a small detail that makes a big difference miles from the trailhead.

The redesigned Expedition grip system includes an extended EVA foam handle for quick hand repositioning on steep skin tracks, a straight-edge grip-top for scraping snow and ice off skis, and a rubber “beak” for quick binding adjustments. Removable, girth-hitched straps let you go leashless when terrain or preference calls for it.

Topped off with 100 mm powder baskets for float and stability in deep snow, the Expedition Poles are the dependable daily drivers for skiers who live for the uphill as much as the descent.
