Pole Baskets
Various types of baskets are available, differing for use on groomed trails, in powder or for roller skiing. Many poles feature methods of easily switching between baskets, such as threading on the basket and pole. On poles without mechanisms for switching easily, a basket can be removed by soaking it in hot water to soften the glue, or via downward impacts, and a new one put on with hot glue.

Famous quotes containing the word pole:
“Oh Sleep! it is a gentle thing,
Beloved from pole to pole!
To Mary Queen the praise be given!
She sent the gentle sleep from Heaven,
That slid into my soul.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
