I need new poles and was wondering if theres anyone here who's about 5'10" or 5'11" who could tell me what size poles they use. I had 46" poles and i think thats about what i should stick to.

well what do you ski primarily? if its all park, either drop the poles or get really small ones like a 42" or if youre all-mountain-powder get a 4648 with baskets

im 6' and use 34" poles. i find that tiny poles are a perfect compromise between no poles and poles.
