1958 marked the birth of SCOTT and the revolution of ski poles, thanks to Ed Scott’s invention of the first tapered aluminum ski pole. Ed’s ski pole would forever change the way we turn. In 2012, SCOTT is proud to introduce a pole collection that has been developed and inspired by the world’s best athletes. With years of proven performance and durability, SCOTT ski poles continue to be the number one choice for every rider to handle any condition imaginable.
