Versatility Meets Durability for the Backcountry

Whether you are charging deep powder or navigating technical ski touring lines, the Scott Free 18 is designed to be the only pole you need. This freeride-focused pole combines the rugged strength of a high-quality S4 aluminum alloy shaft with the functional design required by modern backcountry enthusiasts. With its 18mm diameter, it delivers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio that stands up to the most demanding terrain.

Adaptability is at your fingertips thanks to the extended foam grip, which allows for quick, comfortable hand-positioning adjustments on steep traverses without needing to fiddle with strap length. For added convenience, the pole features an easily interchangeable basket system, letting you swap to larger powder baskets when the snow is deep and back to standard baskets for spring corn or resort laps. If you prefer to ski without straps, they are fully removable—giving you a streamlined, personalized setup that offers unmatched control in every turn.
