Skiing can be a thirsty sport. Your extra large ski jacket may have many pockets to carry some quintessential quenching quaff, but it's already full with goggles, sunglasses, handwarmers, cell phone, MP3 player, headphones, and that amusingly-shaped stick you found when you went off-trail, so there’s no room for a bottle. Not even a flask.
Why not adapt something you’d be carrying anyway? Enter the gentleman's ski pole. Made with a few dollars worth of hardware store bits and pieces, you can make portable liquid container. For the refined gentleman, your schnapps is sippable even when you can’t reach your pockets. Also, by combining the pole with a flask, you're less encumbered when on the chairlift and far less likely to inadvertently drop a skiing accessory.
Forget bringing a St.Bernard on your next ski trip, all you need is the gentleman's ski pole! A discreet decanter for the discerning downhill gentleman
Enough talk, let's hit the slopes in style!
*this project is in response to the Cold Pole liquid reservoir ski pole. My version is about 1/10th the price.

hope someone does on and sources food grade plastic parts..
didn't mean to be a bummer, but it took my mom 14 miserable years to die, from exposure in her 20's and 30's.

Let me know what you find on the glues. I think olden fashions plugs might do for the one end (with a clamp, or spiral wound nylon line) and a plug at other end.........hmmm
sounds good to me
Hope this is a little more reassuring! A
Yes, this is illegal.
Or, you can see past the satirical naming convention used here and make one that's way better than mine. Maybe there's a ladies ski pole that would out this one to shame?
This item is also known as a 'tippling stick' or (or rare occasion) a 'smugglers knob'
As stick carver I love the idea enough to put one in a walking staff for excursions, just never let the Scout Master see it , (or maybe give him one, ....only kidding).Then add the party torque and soon you will be ejected from troop, but happy!!!!

I'm going to make a shotgun one for hunting... Now which barrel should be the flask?
