How to choose your cross-country ski poles?

Choosing the right size of cross-country ski poles is essential for skiing properly.



For skate skiing: the poles are bigger in order to maximise the push-off

For classic cross-country skiing: the poles are smaller.



They can be made of:

Aluminium: they will be sturdy and heavy = ideal for beginners,

Fibreglass: they will be lighter, but more fragile,

Carbon fibre and other materials: very light and rigid.
