Ski poles

Do you ski mostly park?

Do you ski trees and steeps?

What length are you used to?

Are you a pole planting maniac?

We need more information. Everyone has their own preference.

 
thx for the help and ya i probably look like an idiot with 5xl stuff on and normal length poles haha im guna fix that
 
Lets let pole size equal P, tall tee size equal T, and height equal H. The equation for poles is represented by P= H - T this will give you the best performance when skiing.
 
People vary greatly on their wingspan (arm lengths). A 6' guy may need shorter poles than a 5'9' guy with long arms. This is not a question we can answer on the Internet without your wingspan and height measurements. Hold the poles upside down with your hands just under the baskets and get a feel for what is comfortable. Take a little off at a time.
 
Yea i wana make my poles smaller, how should i do this? Eg- what to cut it with and to put the grip back on?
 
you may be able to just remove a screw and pull, if it sticks then you can try tossing it in a vice and pulling, which is what i did.
 
Boiling works really well, it just pops off with no effort. And I think for most poles the screw is holding the straps to the grip.
 
i cut my poles down to where my arms are straight down and the pole barely touches the ground. i find this to be perfect
