WHAT SHOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT SKI POLES?

PARTS OF THE SKI POLE

The ski pole consists of a handle, the pole itself, the dish at the bottom (also called a counter) and below that the tip. Do you often go off-piste? Then you can choose a pole with a larger counter. This will sink less into the deep snow.

WHICH MATERIALS ARE THERE?

Good ski poles are essential for a skier. They ensure good balance, rhythm and coordination. In addition, they are of course very handy for all kinds of other things. There are three things to consider when buying ski poles. The material, the stiffness and the weight. These three go hand in hand. Most ski poles are made of aluminium or carbon, but there are also ski poles made of bamboo, wood or titanium. The cheapest ski poles are made of aluminium, but this is sensitive to bending. Carbon is more flexible and does not bend, but carbon ski poles are more expensive to buy.
