Does anybody know of any poles that are unbendable because that would be pretty sweet

I had these Goode composite poles or something for like 6 years that were indestructible, then somebody decided to steal them.

I got mine for 20$ at a ski swap, but you can order them right off their site.

I used to break poles like crazy, so i finally bought a pair of composite poles. 2 years no far and not even a slight bend. I think mine are scott.

composite poles don't break, they explode sending shrapnel in every direction.

I have Goode poles that bend and flex if you push them. They're really thin but they flex so it's hard to break them. I haven't had a problem when poling around. The poles are strong and don't usually flew unless I want them to. I'd give them a shot if I were you. The shop I bought my skis from threw in the poles for free, but I think they're $50 otherwise.

Mine were fairly stiff. I've never had a problem with them flexing too much, unless I put all of my weight on them. I fell on them so many times, got them caught in safety bars on lifts, caught in trees and so on. They just snap right back into place. I think they are a great investment, they might cost a lot, but they will last forever.

once on a skiing holiday with school, i broke 4 poles in 7 days time, the rental-guy got pretty pissed at me....

as a souvenir i still have these 4 skipole tips tht remind me of it....


Make some poles outta wood, they won't bend, or just use bambooo-sticks...
makes you look like a steezy stick-fighting-ninja skier
