Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

After breaking or losing baskets when skiing I have gone to an in-resort ski shop. They get out a big box of baskets and then you just search until you find one you like. The shop should advise you on which baskets fit your poles. They charge a couple of Euros. It may be worth you buying a spare basket for the future. I now keep a spare basket in my rucksack. I did try skiing using one pole without a basket and one with. It felt very strange and was very confusing until I realised what had happened.

Snowy, you've raised a really good point. The ski biz is absolutely pathetic on this issue. Over 20 years ago a British company made a pole with interchangeable baskets for different snows - can't remember the name of it (I think it was called Master). I think there have been others. It should actually be a design standard for serious ski poles.
They always focus on the handles, never the baskets.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

David Goldsmith, My new(ish) Salomon Scream poles have interchangeable baskets - just need to find somewhere that sells them!!

David Goldsmith,
My Lekis also have interchangeable baskets, you just screw them off and replace.

pretty much the same with my Black Diamond poles (except you just have to yank them off)

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

yank / screw, there is some pseudo thread at the base of the pole. Works pretty well.
