Finding the correct ski pole length is crucial for optimal performance. Utilize the angle rule: flip a ski pole upside down, and grasp it just below the basket. Your elbow should comfortably rest near your hip with a 90-degree arm angle.

If poles aren't available, use a tape measure with your elbow bent at 90 degrees, adding two inches for snow submersion.

(For park skiing, shorter poles aid balance and avoid interference.)

Refer to our size chart for guidance.

Shaft Materials: Our ski poles are made in aluminium, renowned for their durability and affordability, are suitable for regular use, enduring significant wear and tear.

Basket Types: Ski pole baskets prevent excessive sinking into snow. Standard baskets, are prevalent on the slopes. Larger baskets, are optimal for deep powder conditions. Interchangeable or replaceable baskets accommodate various skiing preferences and conditions.

Great poles

"Light weight, look great!"

Duncan F. (5/5)

Bomber ski pole that holds

"Bomber ski pole that holds up under pressure and looks killer. It comes with two sets of baskets which is rare nowadays… the powder basket has a cool retro look which I dig."

"Nothing special, ruined in one season"

Kirill Z. (3/5)

Great Price, Great Durability

"I would classify these as a semi-backcountry pole for two reasons 1) they are aluminum, 2) they are not adjustable. I used them for some lift-served bowl skiing that involved hiking to a drop point. They worked great for this, they also held up to hitting a tree. I ski with mismatched poles, in this case one orange and one black For what it is worth, I would buy these again"

Nathan P. (5/5)
