I'm bidding on these ski poles...

No idea, they are all pretty old and have no alloy reference on them. I retired my old mallet because it was too short when I got my scissor but that had a shit loads of bends and dents in but refused to die. If you come and collect you can have a couple which should tie you over until the 7075 mega turbo polezzz arrive

That's very kind man. I have one pole which is still hanging in there which may last depending on when these MKS might arrive. Otherwise I'll be in touch
