A ski pole having a grip pivotally mounted on a pole member to enable the grip to move from an in-line position to a transverse position on the pole member. A latch normally holds the grip against pivotal movement. A trip on the grip unlatches the grip for pivotal movement. The trip is so located on the grip that it can be actuated by the thumb of the hand grasping the grip. The pressure on the trip may be relieved after the latch is tripped. A cam arrangement enables the latch to automatically re-engage when the grip is returned to its in-line position.
