most are between 40-42, but i have one pair that's 36. not that big a deal, poles are free or close to it and you can just cut them down.

take some poles
flip them upside down, and grab just under the basket
if your arm is bent 90 deggres, your good
i dont know what it is for the park skiers though

i dont care if its not how long poles should be, i decided to post it becuase it wasnt clear to me if he was asking that kind of question, i knew he was asking how long our poles are.

That is the proper way to test for proper pole length, with ski boots on I believe.

Park skiing, it's all preference, the poles don't seem to do much.

Apparently you're the retarded one.  "How long are your poles?" is the name of the thread.  'One short for park one reg length for everywhere else,' very descriptive.
