..What size poles do you use? I'm really hoping to get some from Evo's black friday sale but I don't want them to be too big or too small, just right for park and some all mountain skiing. Thanks

I use short and tall poles, short for park, and tall for everything else.
My tall ones are 120cm Goode Composite.
And my short ones...I don't know what their length is, but I like them to come up to where my hands end at my side. So about mid thigh

I'm 6'2" and have 48" K2 6 Speeds, and 50" Ice Usa Solid's.

I usually use the K2's for all of my riding and find the 48" length to be perfect for me. Granted, I don't spend much time in the park.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm 6'4 and was thinking maybe 46inch (115cm) poles would be the way to go, long enough to do all mountain stuff, but not so long they get in the way of park

Im 6-5.

I dunno how long my poles were I negotiated them to be thrown in for free on the last set of skis I bought. But they are probably too short for racing. And I think having poles that are a little too short is the way to go I only use them at the chair of course.
