A Pool of Poles
Having the right length of poles can make the difference between a fun or a frustrating outing for our young skiers. Since our kids seem to grow quite regularly it is hard to always have the right lengths. So we propose to create a pool of poles for our members to borrow from. Bring any unused poles (big or small) that you are willing to loan to the chalet (the hot chocolate location) before lessons any Saturday. Anyone who wants to try out a pair just help yourself!
If you’d like your poles back at the end of the season please put tape on each pole and mark them ‘return to your name‘. If you want to donate them to the club that’s great too. Any unclaimed poles at season’s end will go into club storage and be pulled out next season. Total honour system — we will not be recording poles coming and going.
Your group leader should be able to help you determine the proper pole length for skating and classic, but the general guideline is that for classic the poles should reach under the arm of the skier. For skating they should be longer — about at chin height.
We hope you will contribute if you can and that this will be useful to our members! Your feedback and suggestions are most welcome: info@kanatanordic.ca.
