Hey babe...You Are going to be chained to the couch tonight!

Squatch · 09-28-2006, 07:42 PM

130 cm? jesus...i use 135 cm poles.

**NorCascader** · 09-28-2006, 08:04 PM

uh...yeha....I'm rethinking that @ 125cm. still haven't pulled the trigger...but damn...she has...

**skiitsbetter** · 09-28-2006, 08:41 PM

yeah 130 is a bit big, I use 130 and I apparently have long legs. I think komperdell made some poles called the "powder babe", they had them at MEC, come stock with pow baskets, ovalized shaft, adn a pretty sweet grip, all in baby blue.

**taz** · 09-29-2006, 02:19 AM

I love my Royal shafts, and cool girly graphics, flowers and other pretty shit. I can't fault mine, they rule! www.theroyalshaft.com huh? 5'8 and needs 130??? I'm 6ft and I've got 125.

**mntlion** · 09-29-2006, 07:47 AM

BD makes a nice carbon fiber, adjustable pole. Go with that so she can tour, and still use on hill,

If you get a non adjustable, most are shortenable so go 130cm, but like others have said that is very long for 5 10.

**altagirl** · 09-29-2006, 08:00 AM

If you go adjustable just make sure they stay at the length you set them at. I have a pair I don't even use for touring because they slip and are such a PITA.

Otherwise... you've gotta know what she likes. There were some hot pink poles with flowers on them last year that I thought looked cool. But we already have 14 sets of poles in the garage and I couldn't find any reason to buy more... But some chicks hate flowers and stuff. The ones I use most of the time are orange z-bends. And then I also have a set of composite Scotts that are nice.

**nexus** · 09-29-2006, 08:48 PM

jesus i'm 6'5" in i ski 115's

**Norcascadielady** · 09-29-2006, 09:28 PM

Okay Dude you're a JONG!!!!!

**hutash** · 09-29-2006, 11:28 PM

Go carbonfiber. They don't bend, and I have yet tp break one. Super light. I never thought poles made that big a difference until I got my Scott carbons. They are worth the few extra bucks.

**nexus** · 10-01-2006, 05:54 AM

ex mogul skiier... 115's are alot bigger on the tops of bumps... just got used to it...

a mate of mine has 80cm poles.... (yeah i dont get it either)

I've broken many a pair of carbon fibre poles... they shatter and you end up with some funky "cat o' nine tails" thing going on. Carbon fibre splinters are not cool either. Needless to say I have gone back to aluminium. Scott for the win, simple and cheap.

**MrDirt** · 11-24-2006, 11:12 AM

I broke 4 carbon poles in one year. First one (SWIX) was poling and skating my ass off to get speed for a jump. Pushed too hard and it snapped. Second one (SWIX) broke after I landed a front flip in some dense pow. The baskets are small and the bottom of the pole didnt want to follow the top as I skied away. I had two more Goodes break apart in similar circumstances. I've since gone with the Leki AluCarbon poles with a tube of aluminum covering the carbon on the top half of the ski. They are also trigger poles. I've been on them for three seasons with no problems. I LOVE them.

**Mechmaster** · 11-24-2006, 11:50 AM

I have this pole:

Its been pretty good. The bottom 4" or so of the pole is aluminum, so it stands up to damage from ski edges much better than the carbon fiber.

**SPREAD EAGLE** · 11-25-2006, 07:48 PM

Our site has an education center for such a deal.
