I have a pair that I have used for hiking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Mine are made by Leki and are adjustable. Mine also have a shock absorber and I can put different baskets on them. They weigh about as much as adjustable ski poles.

Poles are made by a number of manufacturers at all different prices. You can get a relatively inexpensive pair from REI. High tech, very light carbon fiber poles are also available, but they are pricey. I'm not familiar enough with all the different brands to recommend anything other than the ones I have.
