Not sure? Try the 10-second test

  1. Grab your basket and twist it counterclockwise.
  2. Pull firmly toward the tip while you twist.
  3. If it spins off and you see threads like these, Skiweegee will fit.

Real comments from real skiers. Unpaid, unedited, occasionally uncensored.

This is the first ski innovation, other than intense changes in hard goods, in the past like 10+ years that seems to solve a real problem not just a gimmick for a non issue. Well done.

I almost rolled my eyes at another product idea and then I had a flashback of scratching uselessly at a snow caked ski. I just ordered some.

The sort of backcountry tech innovation we actually need! Definitely more interesting than the 50th brand of tech bindings. Buying some..

As a ski guide in Canada, this is awesome and solves some real issues, especially when you start getting snow sticking to your skins.
TheEngineer1234
I eye-rolled when I saw the post and was getting ready to flame, but this is actually a pretty practical idea. Basically takes up no additional space or weight and is simply a different shaped basket with practical design.
cirro_hs
for once a product i would actually buy. no i dont need a 10th version of strava for the backcountry life. i do need a new ski pole so i look cool
RelationshipShort460
I switched to Leki with basket being a selling point but these look better.
Nomics
Spent so many sweaty hours walking uphill dreaming of a gizmo like this. Pretty cool.

Purchased! This looks like a way better alternative to one of those BCA poles with the funny looking head.
Mojave_Wastelander
...would like those features. Seems like a nice low cost upgrade to my Leki Helicon Lites.

Holy $#!% that’s GOATed. And such a simple and clean improvement!
michahell
I’m fairly new to touring. Second season and the f*&%ing snow on my top sheets was really the only noticeable thing that was bugging me. Heavy wet sticky snow that won’t kick off. Ordering
applesauce143
Wow I love this!!! It always takes me like 3 mins to adjust my risers 😩
charsiusauce
Love it. I have been wondering what I could put on my ski tops to prevent snow build up
roughas
Ordered 4! 1 for me and another for my touring partner, 2 to carry around till someone asks me WTF is that orange basket you got there and offer a little surprise and delight.

Keep up the good work. I think we need people like you in the industry to keep things progressing.

FAQ

Good questions.

Still curious? Read the full FAQ or email jeremy@skiweegee.com.

Will it fit my poles?

If your poles take 13mm screw-on baskets, yes. That includes most poles from Black Diamond, Leki, BCA, Grass Sticks, REI, and more. Not sure? Twist your basket counterclockwise while pulling toward the tip. If it spins off and you see threads, you're good.

How do I install it?

Unscrew your stock basket, screw on Skiweegee. Takes about a minute and no tools.

Will it crack in the cold?

Unlikely. Skiweegee is molded from Hytrel® TPEE, a premium elastomer that stays tough and flexible down to −70°C (−94°F). We tested an unreasonable number of plastics before landing on this one.

Does it still work as a regular basket?

Yes. It's a basket first, so you still get support up the skin track and the way back down.

Where do you ship?

The US and Canada for now. Shipping is free on 2 or more pairs.

Europeans: Sorry - I'm trying to find a distributor ASAP!
