Kids' Ski Poles
Many instructors hold off on poles until a child can turn and stop with confidence, so ask whether your young skier really needs them yet. Once they do, short and light poles are easiest to control. A comfortable grip with a strap that slips on and off helps at the lift. A simple guide is a length where the arm bends near a right angle with the pole planted in the snow, tested while wearing boots. Aluminum shafts are a sensible pick, since kids drop and bend their gear often and straightening one is rarely a problem. Buy for the current height, as poles that are too long throw off balance.
