put your arm at a 90 degree angle at the elbow. get the meausuring tape and measure to the floor. get the closest size to the meausrement

i'm 5'10" and i use 50" poles, so i'd say anything from 50"-54", depending on preference. when in doubt, form a right angle with your elbow standing in your ski stance and have someone measure from your hand to the ground.

or just buy some poles and deal with it. you can always cut them down, and if they're too short you'll just look like a park rat. better yet, don't even buy new poles.... find some used one or use rentals.
