I was looking in EMS for a pair of backcountry ski poles and ended up buying a pair of Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork, in spite of the sales clerk's protests that they couldn't be used for skiing. Well, they seem to work just fine although they may be rather short for some people, and I couldn't probe for avalanche victims.
I know carbon can be fragile...but I just destroyed an aluminum pole, so nothing's fool proof. Why did the clerk protest so much?
