Officially, if you hold the part of the pole that goes in the snow in your hand and put the handle on the ground, your elbow is supposed at 90°. from there, adjust the length to fit your personal preferences.

5'10" and i use 48" - i'm gonna cut em down though - they're too long...

 

[Casey]

6'2 and i have 44 inch poles, they are kind of short for traversing but they work okay, not too long not too short

 

[Grimace.]

grab the poles upside down and at 90 degrees
