How can Trekking Poles be a great helper in conquering alpine snow?

When walking on snow and ice, the ground conditions are often slippery and unstable. Trekking Poles can greatly increase the support area of ​​hikers, help maintain body balance, and reduce the risk of slips and falls. Especially when walking on steep slopes or glaciers, the stability of the poles is particularly important.
When climbing alpine snow, the weight of the body is all on the feet, which can easily cause fatigue and injury over a long period of time. Using Trekking Poles can effectively disperse the weight to the arms, reduce the burden on the legs and knees, help climbers climb more easily, and reduce the risk of injury.
In the snow, especially deep snow or soft snow, every step requires extra force to push forward. The tip of the Trekking Poles can be deeply inserted into the snow, providing climbers with additional propulsion. At the same time, the poles can also be used as a braking tool to increase safety when it is necessary to slow down or control the descent.
Alpine snow is often full of natural obstacles such as rocks, cracks, and ice cracks. Using Trekking Poles can help climbers to cross these obstacles more stably, especially when they need to maintain their balance or find a foothold, the support of the walking pole is particularly critical.
