To fit a pair of ski poles to your body shape, wear shoes or stand up with your ski boots on. With the poles upside down - the handles touching the ground - grasp the pole just below the basket so that the top of your thumb touches the basket. Your elbow should then form a right angle.. If the angle is less than 90°, try a shorter pole.

Solid bamboo poles have a wall thickness of between 60 and 99% of their diameter. Large bamboo poles are available in lengths from 240 cm to 300 cm and have an average diameter of 4 to 5 cm. Slightly sanded with a polyurethane finish or a more rustic natural finish. However, the poles used to make ski poles are generally shorter (150cm to 180cm) and have a diameter of 1.4 cm to 2.5 cm..

Ski poles, also known as ‘Poles’ (in North America), ‘Sticks’ (in the UK) or ‘Stocks’ (in Australia), are used by skiers for balance and propulsion. Modern ski poles are most often made of aluminium and carbon fibre, although materials such as bamboo are making a comeback!
