Abstract

Ski pole modifying apparatus includes a seat contacting member and a ski/boot contacting member. The seat contacting member includes a pole encircling portion with an elongated collar section. An arm portion extends from the collar section and includes a transverse section extending the full length of the arm portion disposed in a plane substantially perpendicular to an axis of the collar section. A radial section extends from the periphery of the collar section along substantially the full height thereof and tapers downwardly toward the free end of the transverse section. The ski/boot contacting member includes a platform portion with a central opening surrounded by a cylindrical section and an odd number of substantially equal length peripheral edges with a minimum of five. A generally circular opening extends through the platform portion adjacent a midpoint of each peripheral edge thereof. Each circular opening includes a channel communicating with the adjacent peripheral edge with the channel having a width less than the diameter of the circular opening. A reinforcing portion extends downwardly from the platform portion with a rib section extending toward each circular opening.…
