Newschoolers,

I am looking to buy some ski poles, and was wondering what brand is better Line or Scott? Also what size do you recommend? I am 5'10-11, and i ski around 20% park and 80% all-mountain.

+k for any thoughts, and help.

I wouldn't get Line's pointy sticks because of the thinness of the handle. Seeing you ski all mountain 80% you should get a regular handled pole. I only say this because my Lines sometimes slip when I rip some blacks

Also standard length, forearm should be level when you hold the pole on top of the basket with the grip down. Good luck
