I'm 6'2" and use 43" poles. On flats I keep them plumb to the snow surface and don't really care if I touch the snow or not.
If I want a pole touch I just increase my hip angles.
And not using a touch just helps my balance which helps every aspect of my skiing. People rely on poles for balance way too much.
