1. What is a ski pole
A ski pole is a tool that we use to support our progress, control our balance, guide change of direction, and support our body when we ski. In addition to ski jumping, aerial skiing, and snowboarding, ski poles are used in other sports, which are an indispensable tool for skiers to control their center of gravity.
2. What are the functions of the ski poles
1. When the skis stand firm on the snow, the ski poles can support them in time to help maintain balance.
2. When the speed of the skis is not fast, push the poles hard to accelerate them.
3. When the snowboard turns, the ski poles should be extended with the extension, and the point poles will lead to promote the effective conversion of body weight.
4. Ski poles play a supporting and propulsive role during mountaineering and long-distance travel.
5. When the snowboard stunts are on show, the ski poles also dance and participate in the beautiful modeling.
Three, skiing The length of the pole is suitable for selection
The length of the general ski pole is about 90-125cm, which can be selected according to the height when skiing. For the applicable pole length.
We should choose light weight, not easy to break, good balance and suitable for our height. Generally, it starts from the snow wheel, the longest is no more than the shoulder, and the shortest is no less than the underside of the flank. It is best to wear a leather bracelet and hold a cane and wave your hands.
Ski poles are generally divided into alpine poles, cross country poles and free ski ballet poles.

2. The position of the stick is usually on the inside of the snowboard in the turn, on the outside of the front of the binding.
3. The force of the cane comes from the forearm and wrist. Do not use the upper arm to point the cane, which is similar to the feeling of using a hammer to drive a nail.
4. When preparing to point the stick, the tip of the stick can be tilted forward a little, but in fact, at the moment of the stick, the pole is perpendicular to the snow surface, so that the force can be used to receive the stick. Effect.
5. After the cane is pointed, the hand cannot be thrown backwards and downwards, and the running
direction should be basically the same as the camber of the upper body.
