What type of terrain will you ski most?
Match your skis to the conditions and areas on the mountain you like to ski. Choices include all-mountain, powder, freestyle and backcountry skis.
Find your preferred ski length
Factor in your height and skiing ability. In general, the ski should reach between your chin and the top of your head.
Consider a ski's dimensions
A ski's dimensions are measured in width at 3 places: the tip, waist and tail. The waist (middle) is key; a narrow waist gets on edge quicker; a wider one floats better on powder.
Types of ski poles
- Downhill ski poles: Poles for alpine skiing help with balance and timing turns. Many are fixed length; some are adjustable.
- Backcountry ski poles: Opt for adjustable poles so you can lengthen poles when going uphill and shorten them when descending.
- Cross-country ski poles: These are longer and lighter, designed to help you glide forward efficiently. Poles for skate skiing are longer than for classic skiing.
Find the right length
When looking for proper fit, consult the brand's sizing chart. For downhill skis, wear your boots and turn the poles upside down. Grip the poles just below the basket. Your elbow should form a 90° angle. If the angle is less than 90°, try a shorter pole. If the angle is greater, get a longer pole.
Pole features
- Straps: Wrist straps help retain poles during turns and falls. Some models have detachable straps for quick transitions.
- Baskets prevent poles from sinking into the snow. Choose a standard basket for most conditions, and use a larger basket for powder skiing.
