Bamboo All-mountain

Intro

Perhaps the most stylish of the freeride offerings, the short grip means the bamboo really stands out. Also suited to piste skiing and touring; what we said about the Freeride model applies here: it's robust and handles nicely, but ultimately you choose it for its look. We prefer semi-soft baskets like this to the articulated ones. The only downside is that the cool vintage-style metallic tip can get iced up in certain situations.
