Things You'll Need:
- Ski gloves
-
Step 1
Remember to bring your ski gloves along for the ride when you try out ski poles. You should check the grip of each Rossignol pole you consider purchasing while wearing your ski gloves. You may find that a strap or loop grip fits your gloves better.
-
Step 2
Check out Rossignol's line of ski poles for Alpine or downhill skiing. The G-Series features composite material construction. You'll find ski poles with different profiles for downhill racing and moguls.
-
Step 3
Find three Alpine options offered by Rossignol for women. You'll find a composite pole, a recreational down-hill pole design as well as a downhill pole designed specifically for freestyle skiing.
-
Step 4
Choose one of Rossignols models for the junior set if you are outfitting your kids. These poles are more suited for their shorter statures and can be found in composite materials and race models.
-
Step 5
Find that the Freeski Expert pole, designed for advanced skiers, includes a Velcro-style strap for greater grip control.
-
Step 6
Buy a pair of Rossignol Nordic ski poles for cross-country skiing and you'll have a choice of graphite and composite materials. Keep in mind that most ski professionals recommend a lighter ski pole for beginner cross-country skiers.
-
Step 7
Choose a pair of poles from Rossignol's Active Walk collection if you enjoy leisurely cross-country skis. With a comfort grip and super light-weight construction of graphite and cork, you won't be weighed down by these Nordic ski poles as you take in the views.
-
Step 8
Visit the Rossignol website to purchase a new pair of Rossignol ski poles or find a local dealer (see Resources below). You should also check with your resort's rental shop as these stores often have used poles available for purchase at a much lower price.
