What are the differences between ski poles and snowshoe poles?
[2007-04-05 07:04:50]

Q: My wife and I recently bought snowshoes, and she thought it would be a good idea to use poles to begin with. She is a big skier and is going to use her ski poles, but I do not ski and was wondering if they make specific poles for snowshoeing? If so, what

A: ski poles are regularly smaller than snow shoe poles but it dosen't really matter that much it might be smart to use the ski poles she has because thre isn't a big differance but i guess for you what ever is cheapest

Arrived Broken
Product needs better packaging - probably Amazon's fault. It arrived in a big Amazon box with very little wadded-up paper for dunnage. One arm was broken off and another was about to go. It is a good product (we have another hanging on the wall) as long as it arrives in one piece.
Works Great
easy install.
Actually can hold up 3 pairs: the center prongs will hold X-C skis!
Good, but not great
This is a sturdy and extremely functional product, and I am mostly pleased by it. There are two things that keep me from giving it 5 Stars, though:

1) the holes for installation are NOT on 16" centers, which most studs are. Instead, the holes are about 15 1/2", which gives you a little less margin of error if you're installing on studs hidden behind drywall.

2) as mentioned elsewhere (I believe) the screwheads are a bit soft, and will strip if you're not careful.

Other than that, works exactly as advertised.
Excellent product, easiest install ever!
I bought this and it came in no time. The installation was simple, straight forward as long as you've got a powerful drill to make a good hole and a strong, sturdy wall. I've got it mounted and it's not going anywhere. Two fresh pairs of skis and poles, one for me and my girlfriend and it stays put, until ski season again. Great buy.
The Best Way to Hang Your Skis Up
This is by far the best way to hang up a pair of skis and poles. Sturdy construction. Works well will all size and shape of ski. Better than similar wooden racks. Prices is perfect. Easy installation. Perfect for use in lockers and mud rooms.

I don't think I got the right color or at least it wasn't what I thought it was, but it was probably my fault. Great service on your part and fast return and refund.

They sent me Junior goggles
I ordered these goggles for my husband for a ski trip because they are similar to another pair of bolle goggles I already had and that I like. The day before the trip, they arrived and they were kids goggles, although the online description, packing slip, etc. did not indicate junior size. I ended up having to pay way to much for a pair of goggles at the ski resort that aren't as nice at the ones from bolle because there was no time to return these and get the right size. It was probably a shipping mistake from Amazon, and I was able to return them for a full refund. But not in time to save money on goggles for our trip. The lesson, order yours with enough time before you leave in case of shipping errors. I still would reccomend bolle goggles though.
Not what i expected...
Im not an expert on ski goggles but I bought this pair before a skiing trip I just made...I like the yellow lenses but they pair just were a little too big...Not being very good on the slopes I need to look down a lot while Im skiing and with these you just cant do that...strictly straight ahead and thats it...I just felt a lot constricted by them so I wore them one time on the slope then packed them away in the locker.
Good snow sport goggle.
I bought one with clear lens for better visibility for late afternoon hours of skiing. I didn't use it yet, but it looks good and fits well.
goggles
These are cool and keep the snow off your eyes while you shovel snow in the unexpected blizzards. I'm sure you could use them to ski if you do that sort of thing.
