I like the Expeditions because i snowboard and they're small enough to fit inside my pack or strap to the outside without towering above my head. Can i chop the top half of a whippet down to a better size and insert the bottom two pieces of the Expeditions or will the diameter just not match up? Thanks. I realize this question seems nuts if you're a skiier. If you look at Mr Lightcap's picture below (JJ's post) it looks like a 3-piece whippet. question_134953 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 20:30:12 GMT The blogosphere suggests obtaining the carbon fiber lower sections http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Black-Diamond-Whippet-Self-Arrest-Ski-Pole/BLD1150M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_131585#question_131585 Black Diamond Whippet Self-Arrest Ski Pole The blogosphere suggests obtaining the carbon fiber lower sections for these poles.
