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:
“The discovery of the North Pole is one of those realities which could not be avoided. It is the wages which human perseverance pays itself when it thinks that something is taking too long. The world needed a discoverer of the North Pole, and in all areas of social activity, merit was less important here than opportunity.”
—Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
