Abstract
A ski pole comprises an elongate pole having a distal end and a proximal end. A grip is attached to the proximal end of the pole and is configured for grasping by a user. The grip has a proximal end and a distal end and defines a longitudinally extending bore therein between configured for receiving the proximal end of the pole in a distal end of the grip. A tool assembly is releasably coupled to the proximal end of the grip and is housed within the grip.

A ski pole, comprising:
- an elongate pole having a distal end and a proximal end;
- a grip attached to the proximal end of the elongate pole configured for grasping by a user, the grip having a proximal end and a distal end and defining a longitudinally extending bore therebetween configured for receiving the proximal end of the elongate pole in a distal end of the grip;
- a tool assembly releasably coupled to the proximal end of the grip and housed at least partially within the grip, the tool assembly comprising a head portion defining a recess in an upper surface thereof, a neck portion extending from the head portion and a tool attached to the neck and extending into the grip;
- and
- a camera mount comprising a threaded post configured for mounting a camera, the camera mount being pivotally coupled to a top of the head portion and pivotable between a first position and a second open position, the threaded post positioned within the recess when in the camera mount is in the first position and exposed and having a longitudinal axis that is substantially parallel to a long axis of the elongate pole when the camera mount is in the second position.

A grip for a ski pole, comprising:
- an elongate body having proximal end and a distal end and defining a longitudinally extending bore therein between configured for receiving a proximal end of a ski pole through a distal end of the elongate body;
- a tool assembly releasably coupled to the proximal end of the elongate body and at least partially housed within the elongate body, the tool assembly comprising a head defining a recess in a proximal end of the head;
- and
- a camera mount pivotally coupled to the head and pivotable between a first position and a second position, the camera mount at least partially positioned within the recess and wherein the camera mount comprises a post configured for mounting a camera and having a long axis that extends substantially parallel to a long axis of the ski pole when the camera mount is in the first position.
