How to choose your pole length for skating?

The choice of pole is very important for cross-country skiing. Too short or too long will make it difficult to ski properly.

For skating technique:
They must be big to maximise push-off
There are two ways to calculate their length:
Length of skating poles = Skier’s shoulder
or
Length of skating poles = Skier’s height* x 0.89
The length of the poles will also depend on the skier’s physical attributes.

How to choose your pole length for classic skiing?

For the classic technique:
Alternative (or classic) cross-country ski poles are slightly smaller.
Length of poles = skier’s armpit
or
Length of poles = Skier’s height x 0.83
Once again, the length of the poles will also depend on the skier’s physical attributes.

How to choose your pole?

Aluminium poles are solid, heavy and inexpensive – ideal for beginners.

Fibreglass poles are more lightweight and fragile and should only be used on groomed slopes.

Carbon fibre poles and those with other very lightweight materials are durable and stiff.
