<description>Black Diamond Traverse Ski Poles&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Hey!&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I have a question about ski poles--I&#x27;m trying to find some super-light telescoping poles that can act as front- and backcountry telemark skiing poles mainly and hiking poles secondarily. The catch is that I&#x27;ve got some wrist tendonitis, so I want to find poles that will be friendly on my wrists. Can you give me any good suggestions for brands and models to look for? Thanks!&#x3C;br /&#x3E;-Jess</description>
