I am a novice skier and need to get new ski poles. I have K2 skis (love them) I was looking at K2 3 karats- anyone a fan? What would you recommend?
FYI- I need ski poles 42 or 44

Re: Skiiers
For me, poles don't matter quite as much as the quality of the skis themselves. I'm not sure about other nesties, but I'd rather blow my wad on a great pair of skis and a "meh" set of poles, especially if you're a novice skier.
As a recreational skier, I don't think the type of poles matter that much, just that you get the correct size. Chances are good you are going to lose one or break one, so I wouldn't spend money on a specific brand. Get what's on sale.
Ditto this. Don't waste your money on poles at this stage in the game.
