Question

I am 5 feet 5 inches what size ski poles do i need?

Answer 1

When sizing up ski poles, flip it upside down and hold the tip, right above the basket, in your fist.  rest the handle on the floor.  Your elbow sould be bent at slightly more than a 90 degree angle.

Answer 2

do what peter says except...the pole is upside down so your fist will go below the basket (above if the pole were up right)

Answer 3

Yeah, hold the pole right under the basket. That simulates the pole being planted in the snow. Around 90 degree angle.

You can always pull the hand grip off and hacksaw the pole to size if it is too long.
