Ski pole modifying apparatus includes a seat contacting member and a ski/boot contacting member. The seat contacting member includes a pole encircling portion with an elongated collar section. An arm portion extends from the collar section and includes a transverse section extending the full length of the arm portion disposed in a plane substantially perpendicular to an axis of the collar section. A radial section extends from the periphery of the collar section along substantially the full height thereof and tapers downwardly toward the free end of the transverse section. The ski/boot contacting member includes a platform portion with a central opening surrounded by a cylindrical section and an odd number of substantially equal length peripheral edges with a minimum of five. A generally circular opening extends through the platform portion adjacent a midpoint of each peripheral edge thereof. Each circular opening includes a channel communicating with the adjacent peripheral edge with the channel having a width less than the diameter of the circular opening. A reinforcing portion extends downwardly from the platform portion with a rib section extending toward each circular opening. A stiffening section extends to one corner of the platform portion radially from the cylindrical section along substantially the full height thereof tapering upwardly to the corner and also extends downwardly from the platform portion.
