Baltimore, MD - March 07, 2025 - Zipline Ski, a leader in high-performance ski equipment, is redefining the standards of ski pole innovation with the launch of its Hexagon Triax Weave Graphite Technology. Developed in collaboration with Olympic, World Cup, and X Games Champion Alex Ferreira, this advanced engineering breakthrough offers enhanced strength, reduced weight, and superior vibration dampening, catering to skiers at every level—from recreational enthusiasts to elite competitors.
A Breakthrough in Ski Pole Engineering
Unlike traditional round ski poles, Zipline Ski’s latest offering introduces a hexagonal shaft design. Dupont’s Kevlar-reinforced construction further enhances durability while keeping the poles lightweight, a crucial factor for performance-driven skiers who demand precision and reliability. Its signature “trigger finger” ZipGrip is built with thermoplastic (TPU) and contours to your hand, preventing your gloves from slipping. Velcro Straps are easily adjustable on the fly. Also, it has tough and sharp carbide Zip Tip with teeth, allowing precise pole plants and secured grip in any condition.
"As leaders in ski technology, we are committed to enhancing the performance and experience of skiers at every level," said Chuck Heidenreich, President of Zipline Ski. "Our Hexagon Triax Weave Graphite poles offer the strength, lightweight feel, and responsiveness that athletes need to perform at their best. By working alongside a champion like Alex Ferreira, we’ve designed a ski pole that meets the highest standards of performance and durability."
Trusted by the World’s Top Skiers
Zipline Ski’s commitment to cutting-edge technology has made its products the go-to choice for Olympic athletes and competitive skiers worldwide. The Alex Ferreira Hex 16K Graphite Kevlar Hybrid ski poles—specifically designed with Ferreira’s input—played a pivotal role in his dominant the 2024 and 2025 FIS Crystal Globe-winning season.
Several other world-class athletes trust Zipline Ski’s high-performance ski poles, including:
-
David Wise – Two-time Olympic medalist (Gold in 2018, Silver in 2022) and three-time X Games halfpipe champion, who uses the MR DW Blurr David Wise autograph edition graphite ski pole.
-
Ben Harrington – New Zealand’s representative in the 2022 Winter Olympics in halfpipe skiing uses the Zipline Blurr model.
-
U.S. Ski Team Mogul Athletes, including Charlie Mickel, Dylan Marcellini, and Nash Lucas, rely on Zipline ski poles and/or goggles for competition.
A Decade of Excellence in Ski Equipment Innovation
Zipline Ski was founded by former World Cup freestyle skiers and coaches, with the mission of delivering elite-quality ski equipment to athletes and enthusiasts alike. Over the past decade, the brand has grown into an industry leader, recognized for its expert craftsmanship and continuous technological advancements.
A standout feature of Zipline Ski poles is their high-modulus carbon fiber graphite construction, which significantly reduces weight while improving durability and vibration absorption. These attributes make them ideal for competitive skiers seeking gear that enhances performance and minimizes fatigue on the slopes.
"Performance skiing demands equipment that is as tough as the athletes using it," said Heidenreich. "Our design team, made up of skiers who understand the sport at the highest level, continues to innovate and refine our technology to ensure we stay ahead of the curve."
Beyond ski poles, Zipline Ski offers a range of high-performance ski gear, including ski goggles, snowboard goggles, ski bags, and freestyle mogul skis, all designed with the same commitment to quality and performance.
Why the Hexagon Shape Matters
A hexagon is generally considered stronger than a round shape, like a circle, because it distributes forces more evenly across its sides. This makes a hexagon better at handling pressure, while a circle, with just one curved edge, has to distribute force less effectively.
Here are some key points about the strength of hexagons:
-
Even force distribution: With multiple sides, a hexagon spreads weight evenly, making it more resistant to deformation.
-
Nature’s design: Bees build honeycombs with hexagonal cells, showing how nature uses this shape for strength and efficiency.
-
Compared to a circle: Although circles are strong because they have no corners, a hexagon is typically stronger when comparing shapes with the same perimeter.
The Hexagon Triax Weave Graphite Technology is more than just a structural change—it represents an evolution in ski pole design. Traditional round poles, while effective, do not optimize aerodynamics or power distribution as efficiently as a hexagonal structure. By utilizing this shape, Zipline Ski has improved:
-
“ZIP TOUCH” DUAL DENSITY GRIP - Our signature “trigger finger” ZipGrip is built with thermoplastic (TPU) and contours to your hand, preventing your gloves from slipping.
-
Aerodynamics – Reduced air resistance allows for smoother, more controlled movements at high speeds.
-
Power Transfer – The unique structure maximizes force distribution, ensuring better energy efficiency with each turn and push.
Designed for Skiers of All Levels
While the Hexagon Triax Weave Graphite ski poles were engineered with input from elite athletes, their benefits extend to skiers at all experience levels. Whether navigating steep backcountry terrain, carving through fresh powder, or training for competitive events, these ski poles provide a tangible edge in performance.
From recreational skiers looking to upgrade their gear to seasoned professionals preparing for competition, Zipline Ski’s newest innovation is designed to elevate the skiing experience for all.
The Hexagon Triax Weave Graphite ski poles are now available for purchase exclusively through Zipline Ski’s official website (www.ziplineski.com). With the ski season winding down starting March 1st, now is the time for skiers to invest in the latest advancements in ski technology.
