Ski equipment - poles

Snow poles are used to support forward movement, control balance, guide change of direction and support the body while skiing. Poles are generally categorised as alpine poles, cross-country poles and freeski ballet poles.

Snow poles are used in all disciplines except ski jumping, aerial skiing and snowboarding. Snow poles are an essential tool for skiers to control their centre of gravity.In the choice, generally to my arm down after the elbow height from the ground as the choice of the length of the ski pole. Beginners can choose longer poles, to be improved after the technology, and then choose shorter poles. There should be a strap on the pole, which can be put on the wrist to prevent it from falling off. Snow wheels prevent the poles from sticking too deep in the snow and give you a stable pivot point at the moment of high-speed gliding.
