Nordic Ski Poles
We carry a full line of Swix poles--racing, touring, back country.
Proper pole height is critical to good technique and efficient skiing. Skate poles should come to the chin and classics should be about 10 cm shorter. Touring poles should be fit shorter yet. When skating was new poles were sized much longer, but with technique changes over the last ten years the poles have come back down in size. Top level skiers often use different length poles in different races--longer for fast and flat courses and shorter for hilly and slow courses.
