Today’s session we will meet at the CNSC team room. Please bring a pair of ski walking poles or classic poles will do. Proper pole length for ski walking poles is holding the grip with your elbow at slightly less of an angle than 90 degrees from the upperbody.

This is a General Chart only — nothing beats actually measuring and checking the pole!
Skier’s Height Suggested Pole length Inches/cm
under 3’4″ 32″/80 cm
3’5″- 3’8″ 34″/85 cm
3’9″ – 4′ 36″/90 cm
4’1″ – 4’4″ 38″/95 cm
4’5″ – 4’8″ 40″/100 cm
4’9″ – 5′ 42″/105 cm
5’1″ – 5’3″ 44″/110 cm
5’4″ – 5’6″ 46″/115 cm
5’7″ – 5’9″ 48″/120 cm
5’10” – 6′ 50″/125 cm
6’1″ – 6’3″ 52″/130 cm
6’4″ – 6’6″ 54″/135 cm
6’6″ + 56″/140 cm
NOTE: If you have arms that are shorter than average for your height, you’ll likely need to move up in size. If you have arms like an orangutan, you may require a shorter pole. The key is to find a pole that you can plant and turn comfortably with.
