 Posted: Tue Nov 27, 2007 6:39 pm Post subject: Ski pole length? |
 #1 |
| I have always rented my ski equipment at the resorts. I live in Florida and don't have any ski shops alround here. I have already ordered most of my gear for this ski season. I purchase Head Zenon 9.0 in 170cm and a pair of Head S10 boots. I just need poles. However, I can't remember what size I always rent. I am 6' and ski the majority of the mountain. Can you suggest the right length pole for my height? What also factors should I consider? Thanks! |

| i think they should be belly button height....im not sure how high that would be for you, but i think that what it should be....It makes sense cause thats where you would hold your elbows at a right angle |
