Give me one reason you need poles in the park. I'm genuinely curious.

just use nordic ones. they cheap, reliable, but always make sure they are taller than your shoulder. hella steezy if done right

Just get some adjustable poles and you don't have to worry about it. I'm 5'11" and usually keep them at 95cm for park and 105-110cm for everything else. It's all personal preference anyways

I definitely wouldn't recommend any line poles. You can find the same shit for a quarter the price, and better durability/more disposable.

Good sizing is if you stand straight up have your poles able to touch ground and gripped with your arms down at your side.

It is all about children's rental poles. I rock like anywhere from 90 to 105. If your cool with a shop at your hill you can usually just cop some for free..... Or even better take them from a child by force.

I'm 5'4 I've used 32s this year. They work great don't think they look or sounding too big.

the perfect size is no poles at all. No but fr tho skiing without poles is way better. No hassle when hiking rails or rope tow laps. Way easier to learn grabs. Way easier for falling because u dont have an extra hassle to deal with. plus u dont look like an idiot without poles
