Why do you need ski poles
While some advanced skiers stand by the fact that ski poles are not a requirement, there are a range of reasons why as a beginner, you will definitely want to bring them up the mountain with you.
They help to:
- Keep you balanced
- Propel you forward, even on narrow pathways
- Maintain your rhythm during short turns
- Help you get up after a fall and shake the show off your boots
How to choose the right ski pole size
When shopping for ski poles, you’ll want to keep in mind the pole length. It should be coordinated with your height to help improve balance during tight turns. To find the right size, touch the end of the pole to the floor. If your upper arm and forearm form a right angle, the pole is the right length for you.
You’ll also want to select a ski pole made from the right material. Typically, aluminium poles work well for average use, but tend to bend easier.
Composite poles are light weight and offer high stability, but tend to be a bit more expensive.
