12 (of 15) David Baker donated a broken ski pole to the Nobel Prize Museum. It is not the first ski pole he has broken and even though it was in two pieces he needed to get down the mountain. With the broken ski pole, Baker wants to show that regardless of whether something doesn't go as planned, it's important to keep going.
