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:
“Not because Socrates has said it, but because it is really in my nature, and perhaps a little more than it should be, I look upon all humans as my fellow-citizens, and would embrace a Pole as I would a Frenchman, subordinating this national tie to the common and universal one.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
