SKi Pole Size Chart
In your shoes or boots take the pole and flip it upside down so the grip is on the floor and hold the pole right underneath the basket. Your elbow should create 90° angle, if it’s less than 90°, try a shorter pole and if the angle is greater than 90° try a longer pole. Most ski poles go up in 5cm increments, if you’re finding that your ideal length is somewhere in between sizes, the shorter of the two is usually the best option.
