Abstract: A ski pole hand grip that is adapted to be attached to a ski pole shaft of a ski pole and which is positioned horizontally or near the horizontal position so as to allow the palm of the hand to be facing downwardly. The hand grip comprises a support base that is adapted to be attached to the ski pole shaft and a hand grip that is integrally supported from the support base and has finger depressions for receiving the digits and thumb of the skier's hand. The hand grip has an axis supported substantially orthogonal to the ski pole shaft. The support base preferably comprises a first section in line with a ski pole shaft and a second section interconnecting the first section and the hand grip and disposed at an angle to the first section so as to dispose the force center of the hand grip in line with the first section of the device.
