From Falls Creek to Niseko, the right ski poles help you stay balanced, move efficiently and keep your turns clean. At Alpine Beach, we stock a curated range of ski poles for every skier — from first-timers to seasoned riders chasing powder abroad.
Lightweight, durable and travel-ready, our poles are built to perform in Aussie resorts and beyond.
Why Ski Poles Matter
They're not just for pushing through lift lines — good ski poles help you find your rhythm, stay stable and ski with more confidence. The right pair will:
- Improve your balance and support across all terrain
- Help control turns and maintain consistent form
- Assist with movement on flat sections and traverses
- Reduce fatigue so you can make the most of every run
Whether you're learning to carve or gliding through powder, quality poles make skiing smoother and more enjoyable.

What to Look For
When choosing ski poles, focus on these key features:
Length: When flipped upside down, your elbow should form a 90° angle when holding just under the basket and resting the top of handle on the ground.
Material: Aluminium poles are strong, reliable and affordable — ideal for most skiers.
Grip and Straps: Soft, ergonomic grips and easily adjustable straps make handling easier with gloves.
Basket Size: Standard baskets suit groomed runs; wider ones help in deeper snow.

Ski Pole FAQs
What size ski poles do I need?
Use the 90° elbow rule — when flipped upside down and held under the basket, your forearm should be parallel to the ground. If in doubt, check our size chart or contact our team for help.
Are adjustable poles worth it?
Yes, sometimes — poles with adjustable length are great for growing kids, families sharing gear, or anyone skiing varied terrain. They also pack easily for travel.
Do you stock kids' ski poles?
We do! Our range includes lightweight, durable poles made for smaller hands and growing skiers.
Can I use hiking poles for skiing?
Not recommended — ski poles are designed for snow with wider baskets and glove-friendly grips. Hiking poles lack the right balance and durability for ski conditions.
Can I buy ski poles online?
Absolutely. Shop our full ski pole range online with free shipping on orders over $99, or visit us in-store to test the fit before you buy.
