For ski hikes in the North, it's difficult to find a better pole than this one. There is enough stiffness even for the pull of a box without holding hairs. The poles are light and the strap is easy to adjust even with gloves, so they are comfortable to use. Sompa is good, but in a softer spirit, of course, a little bigger would be better.
