The Scott SMU 540 P-Lite Ski Poles are an awesome choice for skiers of all abilities who are looking for a lightweight, attractive, and easy to use ski pole. Most skiers have a lot of trouble keeping their hands in front of them. Ski poles are an often overlooked cause of this problem. If the weight of the pole is low, the skier will have an easier time with proper pole planting technique. Enter the Scott SMU 54 0 P-Lite ski pole. With an S2 aluminum shaft, the lightweight alloy allows the skier to keep his or her hands in front of themselves in proper position without getting sucked into the backseat—resulting in a loss of control. The skier’s hands are like a steering wheel, and when you lose control of the wheel, you lose control of the car. Additionally, the pistol-style grip encourages proper hand placement, keeping the pointer finger aimed squarely downhill. It’s the small things, like thinking about your hands in relation to your poles that takes your skiing to the next level. The SMU aspect of the pole stands for “Special Make-up,” which is an exclusive graphic of which only limited quantities were made. As a result, this attractive pole will be one of only a few out there in the world. It’s an outstanding design that will turn heads and make you the envy of your ski buddies. The Scott SMU 540 P-Lite Ski poles are an ideal choice for skiers who love a simple, yet exclusive design and outstanding performance.
