Ringtail Torched Sticks

Custom Bamboo Ski Poles

We've taken the Original Grass Sticks ski poles and borrowed a classic technique from cane fly rod builders to add some charred flare. Inspired by the ringtail cats of the Grand Canyon, Torched Sticks get a flame treatment to add the rings, then are hand-sanded with a marine-grade clear coat finish. They are a beautiful addition to your setup!

Our full bamboo shaft makes a lightweight, beautiful, incredibly strong, high-performance ski pole. Every pair is handmade in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, by the skiers who actually use and abuse the products we build every day. We’ve created a ski pole that you don't just need, you actually want to use.

We’re so confident in the quality of our products that we’ve backed them by a 2-year unlimited warranty, 30-day satisfaction guarantee, and lifetime repair program. View warranty & return details here.
