You bring up a good point about the weight. Are there adjustable poles that are all carbon?

Black Diamond makes some.  Check out their selection here: http://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en-us/shop/ski/ski-poles

I've had a pair of their Traverse poles for 4-5 years, and they've survived a lot of beatings.  The baskets on these are all bigger than normal poles intended for on-piste usage, so they catch a lot of wind, but I didn't have any other issues with them.  I switched to some Scott aluminum poles once I figured out what length I liked, mostly for baskets that caught less wind.
