Choose the right ski poles. How to choose ski poles? We select ski poles depending on the type of riding
If you are planning to ride alpine skiing ah, then they will become your faithful assistants in this. With ski poles it will be much easier for you to turn, which is especially important for beginner skiers.
But for some reason many riders do not betray of great importance ski poles or simply do not know how to use them, but carry them with them as a fashionable attribute when skiing. In fact, if you choose the right ski poles and use them, skiing will become much more enjoyable!
Why are ski poles needed?
Everything has its own functions and purposes, and sticks are no exception:
- They are easy to turn;
- poles maintain and maintain balance during descent;
- It’s easier to move with poles on flat areas;
- maneuvering around the lift and between trees is not difficult;
- when passing sports tracks, sticks are used for starting acceleration;
- they help maintain balance;
- poles are indispensable for off-piste skiing;
- with their help it is easier to unfasten the fastenings, get up after a fall, etc.
You don't have to worry too much about ski poles when you rent them, but when you buy your own poles, there's a problem of choice that we'll help you sort out.
Ski pole design
In order to choose suitable poles, you need to understand what they are made of and what main functions they perform.
Materials
Based on the materials used, sticks are divided into:
- Aluminum: This material is often found in poles for children or beginner riders. They are heavier in weight than carbon or others, but they are quite durable and economical. Over time, aluminum poles become deformed, and only then, with strong pressure on them, break or remain bent. But if you like aggressive skiing, then you will like poles made of high-quality aluminum, which can withstand heavy loads for a long time and serve as reliable support in the mountains.
- Composite: These poles are more flexible and durable than standard aluminum poles. They can bend strongly without breaking, but with critical deformation they immediately break in half.
- Fiberglass and carbon: poles made from this material are usually chosen by more experienced riders who know all the features of poles. Carbon provides a high ratio of strength and light weight. Unlike high-end aluminum, it is more flexible, durable and ultra-light. But be careful, such poles can break, especially if you accidentally cut the ski edge.

For experienced riders, ski poles are an important part of equipment, and the requirements for them are appropriate. There are also those who do not attach much importance to them. Usually these are beginners who are notunderstand that properly selected ski poles can seriously improve skiing technique, and therefore bring more joy from your ski holiday.
Ski poles - purpose
Ski poles and the correct placement of hands contribute to the correct execution of turns. And turns are the most important element in skiing technique. Do you feel connected? This is their main purpose.
The poles are also used for pushing off on flat areas in the mountains. Even some experienced snowboarders keep collapsible (telescoping) poles in their backpack. They know what it means for a boarder to hit a flat spot.
For beginners, poles serve as a support (more psychological) at the initial stage of mastering the technique of skiing.
My instructor used poles to correct my stance. He “stabbed” me in the back so that I wouldn’t fall back. What, another way to use sticks!
Ski poles seriously make life easier for freeriders, who often climb to the starting point on foot. They serve as support when walking.
Ski poles: how to choose
The length of ski poles is indicated in increments of 5 centimeters (or 2 inches), for example, 120 cm, 125 cm, 130 cm. These numbers can always be found on the shaft of the pole.
Poles that are too long will force you to ski in a back stance, which can lead to loss of ski control and rapid leg fatigue. Very short poles will force you to lean forward excessively (hunch over), which is also inconvenient.
People with good technique and decent experience choose the length of their poles in accordance with the characteristics of their riding style. For example, my poles are only 120 cm with a height of 185 cm, although I started at 135 cm.
Shorter poles allow me to sit lower over my skis. In this stance, I feel more confident at high speeds and uneven terrain, because the center of gravity of my body is much closer to the ground.
Here is another confirmation of my words - for aggressive skating you need a lower stance and short poles.
However, at the beginning of training it is better to use standard recommendations: Put on your ski boots, bend your knees slightly, keep both shoulders parallel to the floor, and hold the stick, upside down, under the ring.
Select the length of the stick until a right angle is formed at the elbow joint (as in the picture). Once this is achieved, this is your pole length.
There is a way to select poles without trying them on. Multiply your height by 0.7.
At the initial stage, precision down to millimeters is not required. Over time, you will understand your preferences in ski equipment and choose what suits you.
Even large stores recommend different lengths for the same height. So, Sports Marathon for a height of 170 cm offers poles are 115 cm or 120 cm, and the Kant store has the same poles recommends people with a height already 5 cm shorter - 165 cm.
Poles up to 110 cm are considered for children, and over 110 cm for adults.
Ski poles - types
For amateur skiing on the slopes
These are the most common sticks. Made of aluminum - cheaper or carbon (carbon fiber) more expensive. The first ones are strong, but if they are bent in half, then it will no longer be possible to straighten them, they break and fail.
The second ones are more elastic. Where aluminum poles break, carbon poles simply bend and, when the force is released, return to their original position. Although they can also be broken.
Aluminum comes in different qualities and this affects the cost of ski poles - there are aluminum poles that are more expensive than carbon ones.
Ski poles for off-piste skiing
The main difference between off-piste poles is the wider guides. They prevent the stick from sinking into deep snow.
Often, off-piste skiing (freeride) involves walking to the top, and telescopic poles are used for these purposes - their length can be adjusted to the task at hand.
When the slope is steep, the poles are made shorter; if the terrain becomes flatter, the poles are lengthened; when descending, the standard length is set.
Ski poles for park skiing
In parks, people jump from trampolines, slide along various designs and perform all sorts of tricks.
Here in the hands of skiers we see significantly shortened (sometimes ridiculously) and lightweight poles. They serve mainly for balance when performing tricks, and not for turning or pushing. And with such poles it’s easier to ride in a rear stance (switch).
My friend, who is 192 cm tall, skates with 115 cm poles! So, as you grow up as a skier, you will experience a re-evaluation of your equipment parameters. You will become wiser.
Such sticks are made from the most the best materials. Some have a curved shape. So for giant slalom (GS) and super-giant (SG) the poles have a medium bend, and for downhill (DH) the poles have a maximum bend.
This is done to increase the streamlining (aerodynamics) of the skier and to avoid hitting the gate with poles, because in competitions the count is in hundredths of a second.
The shaft (shaft) of some sports ski poles is made of a triangular shape (if you look at the cut of the shaft) - to reduce weight and increase strength. Undoubtedly, high tech make such sticks more expensive than regular ones. Below is the cost of ski poles, including sports ones.
Ski poles - what are they made of?
Aluminum
As already mentioned, aluminum is the most common material in the production of ski poles. By the way, when developing the poles, the engineers had another important task - to make poles that, when broken, did not turn into sharp, dangerous objects that could cause harm to health.
Salomon X Race aluminum ski poles
Therefore, when overloaded, the sticks seem to “fold” in half, rather than burst, forming two “blades” with jagged ends.
We must make a reservation: aluminum poles are not made from pure aluminum, there are always other impurities.
But in the ski industry, such poles are called aluminum, and poles without metal impurities (or where there is a minimum of them) are called composite. Further we will adhere to this terminology for simplicity of presentation.
Composite ski poles
This category includes poles made from alloys of fiberglass, carbon (carbon fiber), graphite, resin, bamboo and other materials. The production of such poles, as a rule, is more expensive than aluminum ones, which is reflected in their price in the store.
If previously aluminum poles were generally lighter than composite poles, now the difference in weight is felt less and less.
An example of such poles is the product of the Komperdell company - carbon poles reinforced with bamboo.
Komperdell Carbon Bamboo Composite Ski Poles
Bamboo
There are several companies in the world that produce ski poles from bamboo, however, none of them have reached our country. The most famous of them is Panda Poles.
The company emphasizes that it produces poles by hand and does not pollute environment. The second reason why poles are made of bamboo is that bamboo is stronger than aluminum. This video shows what that means.
If you know English language, then you can “assemble” your stick on the brand’s website and then place an order. My stick was not expensive at all (though without shipping), only $89.
Ski poles - components
Handle and lanyards
The handles (handles) of ski poles come in various shapes and are usually made of plastic, cork and rubber. Since manufacturers find it difficult to compete in the production of rods, all their efforts are directed towards the design of handles and lanyards. In the more expensive pole segment, the handle can be made of combined materials, each of which solves one of the following problems - (1) ensuring grip of the hand with the handle without slipping and (2) comfort when riding and (3) maintaining the rigid shape of the handle itself.
If we talk about the shape of the handles, then this is a matter of preference - see which one “fits” your hand better.
The main purpose of a lanyard is to prevent you from losing your stick. They are made from nylon, sometimes leather. The length of the lanyard can be adjusted to suit your hand.
There are also leaders in this business - the Leki company, which about 20 years ago began producing detachable lanyards (Trigger technology). In case of critical load on the hand and the likelihood of injury, the lanyard was disconnected from the stick.
As a result, the skier receives convenience (quick and convenient release of the pole), excellent maneuverability (the pole is attached to the hand in the right place) and safety (the pole can be unfastened in case of danger of injury).
And the already mentioned company Komperdell several years ago released poles for freeriders without a traditional lanyard. The lanyard there is plastic and is an integral part of the handle.
For what? When riding in the forest, a stick can get caught in a tree and, if your hand is not freed in time, you can get injured. It is also vitally important to quickly get rid of sticks in an avalanche - so as not to harm yourself and have time to regroup.
At the Kant store, such poles at the time of writing cost 3,090 rubles.
Rod (shaft)
The main part on which the handle with lanyard, ring and tip are attached. The rod can be either a solid tube or a composite (telescopic) one.
An important characteristic of a rod is its rigidity. It is measured in conventional units. 4 - 5 units - beginners and average level, 4 - 5 units - experts. Above 6 are athletes.
Ring
A part that prevents the ski pole from sinking into the snow when being pricked. There are a large number of shapes, sizes of rings and the materials they are made from on the market.
For skiing on pistes, where the snow is usually hard, rings of smaller diameter are used, and for off-piste skiing, in deep snow, the diameter of the rings is noticeably larger.
If the ring is lost, and this also happens, then, in most cases, the quality of skating drops significantly. A ski pole without a ring becomes practically useless - it falls into the thickness of the snow and it is no longer possible to lean on it.
True, there is a group of skaters who, although they hold poles in their hands, do not use them. You can easily see these at every resort. For them, the loss of the ring will go unnoticed.
Telescopic
Such poles are popular among freeriders, as already written. Here it is important to choose poles from a reputable brand, for example, Black Diamond, since the locks that fix the length of the pole are not reliable from all manufacturers. After some time, they either break or begin to hold poorly.
There are two- or three-knee sticks. It is clear that three-knee ones are more compact and can be carried in a backpack.
The ski poles in this picture are not only telescopic, but also a cable is passed through their rods (tubes), which allows you to assemble the poles into the working position in one movement, in a couple of seconds.
Tips
Tips are made of hard alloys, such as steel. In expensive models, there are tips made of tungsten carbide and other durable alloys.
Ski poles - other features
Removable hand protection
Guards are plastic attachments on poles that protect hands from impacts from goals when passing sports tracks.
Such devices protect your hands from impacts from goals or poles that are placed on the track during competitions. They can be sold complete with a stick.
Stick flask
Leki company produces flask sticks Hot Shot S, into which you can pour your favorite drinks. I'm sure everyone thought about alcoholic drinks, after all, no one would think of pouring kvass or lemonade into sticks, however, drinking in the mountains is a bad idea.
According to the manufacturer, 150 ml is placed in containers hidden under the handles of the sticks, 75 ml in each.
Such poles can be bought in the Sport-Marathon store for 8,990 rubles.
If this volume is not enough for you, then buy Comperdell Schnaps Poles. You can gurgle 200 ml into each stick, and this is already a serious volume.
This is a good offer if you do the math: they are cheaper than the previous ones (6,350 rubles, Kant store), and you can fit more into them.
Ski poles: where to buy
Our usual suspects are well-known stores. By following the links you will be taken to the ski pole sections. The poorest selection of poles is in Sportmaster, the richest is in Sport-Marathon.
Sportmaster - prices start (at the time of writing) from 499 rubles for children and 899 rubles for adults. If you're interested, the most expensive poles in the store are:
Conclusion
So the fascinating dive into the abyss of ski poles has come to an end. We learned a lot of new things, and now we can go to the store and choose what we really need.
Remember that ski poles break frequently and should be treated as consumables. Few live more than two or three years, especially at the beginning of the ski journey. Buy something simpler for the first time, and then decide what suits you best.
As always, we welcome your comments, clarifications or complaints.

Nowadays, more and more people are becoming interested in skiing, and this sport is gaining its popularity. Good skiing depends not only on the professional qualities of the skier, but also on properly selected equipment, where the main place is occupied by skis and ski poles.
1. Depending on the skiing style, there are different requirements for the length of skis and poles. When choosing skis for skating, do the following: place the skis next to you - they should be 15 cm longer than your height. For example, if your height is 175 cm, then the optimal ski length will be 190 cm.
2. Sticks are selected in a similar way. But only they should be 15-20 cm smaller in comparison with your height. You can choose taller poles, but only if you have fairly good physical training of your hands. Just remember that the poles should not be higher than your ears (maximum length) and not lower than your shoulders (minimum length of ski poles).
3. If you are choosing skis for classic skiing, then their length should be 25-30 cm greater than your height. The amount that you get is the optimal length of this type of ski for you. The poles here should be 25-30 cm shorter than your height. And skis for walking should not be more than 15-25 cm larger than the skier’s height.
4. When choosing skis, you should look not only at height, but also at weight and level of fitness. So athletes who are well prepared physically will withstand more weight of sports equipment. If you are a beginner, then subtract 10 cm from your height, and if you already ski often and consider yourself an experienced skier, then subtract 20 cm.
5. To select the size of skis and poles depending on the type of skiing (classical or skating) and height, depending on weight or fitness, you can use some tables.
6. Also, to calculate the length of skis and poles for children, you can use a special table, because the choice of length here takes into account not only the height, but also the age of the child. For children, do not buy equipment “for growth” under any circumstances. Firstly, the child will not be able to ride normally in it, and secondly, this can lead to injuries.
7. When choosing equipment, pay attention to such characteristics as rigidity and heaviness. It should be both light and as rigid as possible.
8. Buy skis and poles only in specialized sports stores. Such a store will be like a guarantee, which means that you are buying quality items.
Now you know how to choose skis and poles according to your height! Good luck with your choice!
Whether you're skiing down the snowy slopes or traversing the race course, you definitely need ski poles. Of course you know this!
But remember, how many types of ski poles do you know? How many factors influence the choice?
At a minimum, these are 4 varieties according to the type of skiing and 5 characteristics, ranging from the length of the ski pole to the handle with a lanyard. We tried to consider all these points in detail in the article. Read and share your experience in the comments!
5 characteristics influencing the choice of ski poles
At first glance, it is difficult to understand all the variety of types and varieties of ski poles, but there are basic classifications by which you can navigate and choose a model that is truly optimal in terms of price/quality ratio.
We select ski poles depending on the type of riding
There are 4 main categories of ski poles designed for different skiing styles.
Skiing on virgin soil (Powder). The main difference is the enlarged snow rings. They are extremely durable and have a wider diameter shaft to reduce the recoil force during movement.
For racing (Race). Not as massive as Powder or ski poles, but extremely light and thin. Most often, ultra-light composite alloys, carbon or fiberglass are used.
Freestyle poles. They are best suited for riding in specially prepared parks. They are an order of magnitude shorter than other models, or have the length of ski models.
Alpine ski poles. The most popular ski poles on the mass market. They have standard snow rings.
Differences by type of materials
The sport of skiing has been growing continuously over the last decades and you can see a clear trend towards narrow specialization in everything from ski types to materials and pole shapes. Modern ski poles can be made from 12 different metals and alloys, but the most popular are four.
- Carbon: the lightest, ideal for an experienced skier. The models are in the top price segment. It is worth understanding that very few models made from 100% carbon add impurities in any case, and the price depends on the amount of these impurities. All the best athletes of our time use carbon ski poles.
- Fiberglass: Designed for fast, experienced skiers, fiberglass poles are thin but durable. Fiberglass ski poles are more expensive than aluminum ones.
- Composite materials: combination result various materials, including carbon metals (the same carbon), aluminum, graphite, resin and others. Composite poles are well cushioned, light, but fragile, especially in severe frost. In this material, manufacturers tried to find a balance between cheap and heavy aluminum and expensive but lightweight carbon fiber.
- Aluminum: not the lightest, but reliable and with the cheapest production. Typically used by beginner and intermediate skiers.
- Titanium: V Soviet time a popular metal for making ski equipment. Modern manufacturers do not use titanium; they prefer composite materials and aluminum.
| Peculiarities | Aluminum | Composite material |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | Aluminum weighs less. | Composite ones weigh either the same or more. |
| Strength | It bends more than it breaks. | They break much more often than aluminum ones. |
| Heat conductivity | Aluminum allows cold to pass through easily, making the skier's hands colder. | The composite has lower thermal conductivity, so the skier's hands, as a rule, remain warm. |
| Price | Aluminum poles are much cheaper. | Composite ones are more expensive. |
| Depreciation | Aluminum ones do not absorb shock well and your hands feel every forceful push. | They absorb energy better, so they are suitable for dynamic driving, such as freeride or ski slopes. |
| Attention of third parties (theft) | General use, they are rarely stolen. | They are often stolen because they are more expensive. |
The composition of the material is far from the first place in the importance of attention spent when selecting equipment in the store; much more attention should be paid to the height of the skier and the type of preferred skiing.
How should the stick lie in your hand?
When grasping the handle of a ski pole, whether with your left hand or your right, it should fit comfortably and comfortably in both hands. Plastic, cork or rubber are generally the most popular materials for ski pole handles.
Try holding different sticks in your hands, with different handles and lanyards.
Lanyard- a special belt in the form of a loop, with the help of which the pole is supported by the hand of a skier. It should be easy and quick to put on your hand, without putting pressure.
On this moment Two types of lanyards are popular - a regular loop and a “trap”. The loop is popular among biathletes; it allows you to quickly free your hands for shooting and save precious seconds.
Holding most of the ski poles in the store will help you find the best one for you. After all, it is very difficult to convey in text the sensations that a correct handle with a lanyard should create in your hand. If you choose for skiing, then do not forget to keep a 90-degree angle at your elbow!
Important! How your ski poles feel in your hand and your level of ergonomics will affect your time on the slopes.
Snow rings and paws
It is worth immediately dividing this accessory into two camps: paws for cross-country skiing (classic, skating) and classic snow rings for alpine skiing, freeride, walking ski poles.
Modern race tracks don't need rings because they're wasted, the snow is rolled away and it's not deep enough for a stick to go deep into it. On prepared slopes, paws are used instead of rings - they are lighter, more compact, and have an aerodynamic shape.
Video about how modern ski poles are made:
How is effective length measured?
It is customary to take the height of the sticks from the snow ring, or foot, to the upper end of the hand, roughly speaking, to the index finger at the moment when you hold the stick with your hand, this is approximately −1 cm from the upper end of the handle. This length will be the effective length for which you need to select ski poles.
But now let's look at two ways to select the size:
The first option is mathematical. The standard formula for choosing a size is to multiply the height by a factor of 0.7 for alpine skiing, 0.83 for classic and 0.88 for skating. For example, my height is 178 cm, for me the ideal pole length would be:
178×0.7 = 125 centimeters.
The International Ski Federation (FIS) has established a single standard for the size of ski poles for the classic move, this is the height of the skier multiplied by a factor of 0.83
We have developed, with its help you can quickly calculate the size for different heights and riding styles.
The second option is to select the length. Turn the stick upside down so that the bottom of the ring is in your hand (see illustration on the right). If in this position the angle between the forearm and the hand is 90 degrees, then you have chosen the right length! When in doubt, choose longer poles as they can be easily shortened.
Table for selecting the length of ski poles:
| Skier's height | Ski | Skating move | Classic move |
|---|---|---|---|
| 150 | 105 | 130-135 | 120-125 |
| 155 | 108-110 | 135-140 | 125-130 |
| 160 | 110-115 | 140-145 | 130-135 |
| 165 | 115 | 145-150 | 135-140 |
| 170 | 115-120 | 150-155 | 140-145 |
| 175 | 120-125 | 155-160 | 145-150 |
| 180 | 125 | 160-165 | 150-155 |
| 185 | 130 | 165-170 | 155-160 |
| 190 | 130-135 | 170-175 | 160-165 |
| 195 | 135-140 | 175 | 165 |
Don’t forget that it’s important to get it right, because not only the length of the poles is important, but also the length of the skis themselves!
Popular brands
Knowing a little about a ski brand is very helpful. After all, skiers often like to compare similar models from different manufacturers, compare characteristics and all possible properties.
A brief history and features of each company will make you a worthy interlocutor.
Atomic
He is a pioneer in ski technology. They produce ski poles as well as ski bindings and accessories. Atomic was born in Austria in 1955 and has since become part of the Finnish company Amer Sports. Their factory is located in the Salzburg Alps. Atomic uses a lot of recycled materials in its products. They sell poles for alpine skiing, Nordic walking and cross-country skiing.

Which ski poles are best?
When it comes to choosing ski poles, you first need to decide on your preferred type of riding, so that based on this you can select the length depending on your height (use a calculator or table).
The next step is the budget you can spend on ski poles. Undoubtedly, carbon ones with a cork handle will the best option for most types of skiing. For alpine skis, the material is not so important, although of course, the lighter the better!
skiing– one of the most popular sports activities in winter. But for those who have just decided to try skiing, a logical question arises - how to choose skis and poles? You need to select them according to your height.
Skiing is one of the most popular sports activities in winter. But for those who have just decided to try skiing, a logical question arises - how to choose skis and poles? You need to select them according to your height.
To begin with, let's still decide what exactly you want to do - cross-country running or learn to go down the mountains? Sports are far from the same, they differ greatly from each other, and the parameters for choosing sports equipment in them are also, accordingly, different.
In skiing, there are several methods of skiing, each of which has separate types of racing skis. First of all, these are the classic icon methods. Also, in sports stores you can find recreational skis for ordinary fans. active rest. Now, let's figure out how to select them according to your height.
If you are serious about this sport, then classic and skating skis are at your service. The main rule for choosing them is approximately this: if the main method of skiing is classic, then the skis should be 20-30 centimeters higher than your height. For the ridge method, this figure is approximately two times less. As for recreational skis, their size should be 15-20 centimeters larger than your height. However, so that you don’t get too confused in the measurements, we provide a table with all the necessary values.
Table for selecting ski lengths
What about the sticks? For them, too, there is a separate classification according to which they should be selected. Poles for the classic move should be 25-30 centimeters shorter than your height. For skating skis, poles are chosen that are 15-20 centimeters smaller than the athlete.

If you are planning to put your child on skis, then it is worth remembering that the method of selecting skis is in this case slightly different from the standard one. The determining role in the choice of sports equipment for children weighing up to 40 kilograms is not height, as in adults, but weight. If your child weighs from 10 to 20 kilograms, then skis 70-80 centimeters tall are suitable for him. For guys in the weight category from 20 to 30 kilograms, skis with a length of 90 centimeters are optimal. For children weighing from 30 to 40 kilograms, you should buy meter skis. As for the sticks, everything is the same as for adults - they should be 25-30 centimeters less than the child’s height.
Speaking of mountain skis, we note that their selection depends not only on your height and weight, but also on the conditions in which you are going to use them. For non-professionals, manufacturers divide skis into three categories: carving, which is divided into fan carving (allowing you to turn almost lying down) and autocarving (have a lightweight steering system), freeride and universal. Carving ones are intended for those who ride on prepared slopes. For those who like to travel over rough mountainous terrain, we advise you to take freeride skis. However, skiing on them is almost inaccessible for beginners due to their complexity. So-called universal skis are suitable for them, which can be ridden almost anywhere.

Recently, wide opportunities for children to engage in skiing have appeared in our country. Naturally, a child also needs to carefully select equipment according to his height and weight. Note that children's skis range in size from 70 to 120 centimeters. As a rule, unlike adults, they have a simplified design, without control amplifiers and other things. Below we provide an approximate table of selection of alpine skis for children.
