If you're a beginner, the majority of ski poles will be ideal for you. But as your technique improves, the pole becomes more significant. For intermediate to expert skiers, the terrain is more varied, and different poles will work well in different situations. Park and pipe skiers generally need to use shorter poles (by at least 2"). The walls of the halfpipe are less likely to catch them because of their size. Skiers who prefer powder and the backcountry may decide to use a shorter pole than standard alpine poles. The last thing you want to do in the backcountry is to catch your extremely long poles on rocks and trees. The best choice for skiers who plan to stick to groomed tracks and other on-mountain trails is a standard (90° elbow angle) alpine pole. These will provide the greatest range of terrain over the mountain, from on-piste steeps to bombing blue routes. Mogul skiers need the proper-sized alpine poles so they can pace their turns through the bumps. Touring skiers must either climb or skin the mountain before skiing down it. They need lengthy poles for ascending and descending. For these skiers, adjustable-length poles are the solution.
