With poles, skiers like to say “sticks are sticks.” And they aren’t far off. A resort pole needs to be tough enough to whack the snow off your boot soles, feature a basket that’s wide enough for poling in soft snow, and offer a comfortable grip and strap. That’s our Bolt Pole, which although it’s made in Austria from premium 7075 aluminum, is more utilitarian point of pride than fragile tchotchke. The price reflects that. And oh yeah, the graphics are asymmetrical so you can distinguish left from your right and set your straps accordingly. That’s a nice touch.
Ski Pole Length Guide
To determine the correct length for your ski poles, stand in your ski boots or wear shoes. Hold the poles upside down with the grips touching the floor. Grasp the pole just underneath the basket so that the top of your thumb touches the basket. Your elbow should form a 90° angle.
If the angle is less than 90°, consider a shorter pole. If the angle is greater, opt for a longer pole. Ski poles are typically sized in 2-inch increments. If you fall between sizes, choose the shorter pole.
