Shortening Poles?

yeah people just normally buy shorter poles

does it matter how other people feel?

i really just want to know how short most people go. normally i use 48 inch poles and im just wondering how short i could go.

I bought a pair of carbon fibre Goode kids poles from Lake Louise for $15. I love them. shorter poles keep you forward more, attacking the hill. Plus you can get nice light kids poles for cheap. and I'm 6 feet tall.

I get teh proper size poles becuase it makes it easier to ski steeps

I am a skier because skiing needs a future
