    Where to buy Ski Pole Grips

    Where the hell can i buy cheap ski pole grips? I have gotten used to these same grips i took off my mothers old poles, but they are finally on their last (cracked) legs after 40 years of use. Where online can i get new grips like this style cheap? All i can find are overseas options or ebay options for vintage stuff. Where are the cheap new options available?

    I may have some like those that you can have, but otherwise, go shop at Goodwill or other thrift stores.

    How about ski poles tips?
    I broke off a tip of some sweet pure carbon Rossi poles that I wouldn't mind repairing.

    I'd try the Swix tips that are available. One of the threads about the Smith Z-Bends shows a picture of them along with the baskets that they sell.

    https://www.artechski.com/swix-race-poles-sale/ shows the tips- but listed as sold out from them. Have to do some research on the fit and maybe source them to try out.

    In our town we have a household waste recycling center, and it has a re-use shed, for free. Full of old skis and poles. If all you need is the grip, there should be plenty to choose from.

    Maybe your waste disposer has something similar?

    Those look like the grips that come on a lot of bamboo poles. You could try to contact one of them and see if they'd sell you just the grips.......

    I have a few of these that I've ripped off old poles and they're just laying around. PM me if interested and we can work something out!
