What is Ski Pole Length?

Ski pole length refers to the measurement of a ski pole from its tip to the top of the handle. It is an important factor in skiing as it affects the skier’s balance, rhythm, and timing. The correct length depends on the skier’s height and the type of skiing they are doing. For example, poles used for downhill skiing are typically shorter than those used for cross-country skiing.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ SP = H \times 0.68 = 70 \times 0.68 = 47.6 \]

The Ski Pole Length ((SP)) is 47.6 inches.
