The Talon features ournew dual-density Scraper Gripthat has a hard plastic snow scraper built into a comfortable EVA foam grip. The scraper can be used for de-icing your base before dropping in or knocking snow off your split skis on the ascent.The new Jones Snow Claw basketsdeliver exceptional traction on firm or soft snow and are easy to plant on any angle slope thanks to a unique basket attachment that floats relative to the pole shaft.
