That's what I thought at first, but they actually do seem to be moving. My biggest concern was the 14 and 15s and they're gone.

Need my fix, need my fix!!!!

I picked up a pair of those Indigo Epic adjustable poles the other day. They are regularly priced around 100 bucks. I grabbed them for 34. I know its more of a BC pole, but I needed poles and the price was right. This sounds like a stupid question to me, but I'll ask it anyway. Will this poles be OK for this intermediate who hasn't spent a day in the BC? When my skills get to the right point I do plan on trying the BC scene.

I wish I'd grabbed those...

I say use them to determine what really is the right length for you then get fixed poles in that length (and give the adjustables to me!

)

I also picked up a pair of $40 Leki poles for $16 bucks in my length at a local shop. It looks like the wife will get the fixed lenght poles for next season and I'll roll with the Indigos. Sorry roark.

Here is a mini-hijack... When would you need longer poles in the BC? When hiking up the mountain? My goal is to earn some turns at the local hill this spring to get ready for lax season.

Exactly - longer for touring - approx armpit length.
