{"product_id":"amt-sqs-w","title":"AMT SQS W Pistachio","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Atomic AMT SQS W is a fixed-length alpine resort pole built around Atomic's 4-star high-grade aluminum shaft — a high-tensile alloy that keeps weight down (250g per pole) without the brittleness you sometimes get in cheaper aluminum. That swing weight matters on high-mileage resort days: the pole moves out of the way quickly and plants firmly without demanding your full attention. The grip is Atomic's women's-specific AMT shape, narrower and contoured with grip ridges so your hand doesn't have to clench to hold on during aggressive pole plants. The SQS — Safety Quick Release System — is Atomic's own take on a safety strap: the strap releases under load rather than torquing your wrist or thumb in a fall. It's not a trigger-style release like Leki's, but it does the job on groomed terrain. The 60mm piste basket is sized for hardpack and groomed snow; it works fine in a few inches of soft stuff but is not a powder basket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are a solid buy for intermediate to advanced women skiers who ski groomers and all-mountain resort terrain and want a reliable pole with a safety strap at a modest price. If you're mostly on groomers, the AMT SQS W does everything it needs to without overcomplicating things. That said, if you're regularly skiing deep or off-piste snow, you'll want a larger basket — and Atomic's own AMT Carbon SQS W is worth the step up if swing weight and vibration damping matter to you (carbon absorbs chop noticeably better than aluminum). These poles are fixed-length, so touring or backcountry skiers should look elsewhere entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-tensile aluminum alloy, ~250g\/pole, steel tip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeatures\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSQS Safety Quick Release strap, women's AMT grip, 60mm piste basket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUse\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlpine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWomen's intermediate-advanced\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"ATOMIC","offers":[{"title":"105","offer_id":49211113373991,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"110","offer_id":49211113406759,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"115","offer_id":49211113439527,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"120","offer_id":49211113472295,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/AJ5005848.jpg?v=1727483819","url":"https:\/\/933534.myshopify.com\/products\/amt-sqs-w","provider":"PTO SKI \u0026 Snowboard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
