Martes NODDI ski poles are a pair of poles designed by Martes for recreational and resort skiing. They provide support and balance during gliding, turns and short uphill pushes, and are intended for adult skiers seeking standard, reliable poles for piste and general winter-sports use. The poles combine a straightforward construction with practical features to suit training, leisure outings and everyday snow activities.
Advantages
The Martes NODDI poles offer stable hand support and improved balance thanks to ergonomic grips and standard-length shafts. Their simple, durable build makes them easy to handle and maintain while the baskets and tips are matched to groomed slopes and packed snow. Lightweight materials reduce arm fatigue during longer sessions and the symmetrical design allows straightforward pairing and adjustment.
Suitable for
- Recreational piste and resort skiing
- Beginner and intermediate adult skiers
- Training runs and ski school exercises
- Leisure outings, snow walks and general winter activities
When it may not be suitable
These poles are intended for standard recreational use on groomed slopes and packed snow. They may not be suitable for aggressive off-piste skiing, ski mountaineering, or technical race applications where specialized, reinforced or adjustable poles are required. Users who need ultralight carbon shafts or telescopic length adjustment should consider other models.
Key specifications
- Intended use: recreational/resort skiing
- User group: adult skiers
- Grip style: ergonomic hand grip for comfortable hold
- Shaft: standard fixed-length shaft designed for piste conditions
- Basket and tip: baskets sized for groomed slopes and tips suitable for packed snow

How to use
Select poles of the correct length for your height and ensure grips and straps are adjusted to secure the pole in your hand. Use the poles to help initiate turns, maintain rhythm and provide stability during gliding and short uphill sections. Avoid leaning excessively on the poles; they are intended to assist balance and propulsion rather than bear full body weight. After use, clean off salt and grit and dry the poles before storage to prolong the life of grips and metal parts.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm pole length appropriate to your height and skiing style
- Decide whether you need fixed-length or telescopic adjustable poles
- Check grip comfort and strap design for secure handling
- Consider basket size relative to the snow conditions you expect to encounter
Usage recommendations
For best results with Martes NODDI poles, choose the correct length so your elbow forms approximately a 90-degree angle when holding the grip. Use them primarily on groomed slopes and packed snow, and perform routine cleaning and drying after each outing to maintain grip condition and prevent corrosion.
