mystery3Just check the lost and found at the lodge for anything your size?
powpatrolPanda poles are a bit pricey and have a heavy swing weight but are really durable and have cool customisation options

TheVictatorOn a related note: are Line poles with grab tabs any good or is it just a gimmick? I mean I feel like it’s a nice medium between a conventional pole and those race poles that go around your hand but idk, Line is not known for durability
IsitWinterYet17I have the line paint brushes and the grab tabs are nice because they are something extra for your hand to catch if you lose grip on the poles. Otherwise my poles would be on the ground my now. This is assuming you don't use the straps. I use straps though, so who am I kidding; it doesn't matter for me.
TheVictatorCool, sounds good. Are they durable though?
IsitWinterYet17So far, but I haven't taken a spill hard enough to bend the poles yet. Haven't had to self arrest with them either yet, so no idea if they'd snap or not. The poles are just aluminum so durable as most ski poles. I love their grips and straps- super easy to slip on and grippy. Their warranty department is on point too. The grab tabs on the handles are a hard rubber material, so they bend a little, but will not break that's for sure.
I really want panda poles though. They look sick and are supposedly really durable with a great warranty. Pricey though, but discounts are available.
denvertrashI second the durability part. Accidentally broke a kid's grass stick with one of my pandas
