I am going to buy park poles. I am 182 cm tall beginner park skier. I am choosing if I should buy 105 cm, 110 cm or 115 cm long park poles. Thanks for advice and if you have some special tip, which poles i should get, I would be really grateful.

Find what size fits normally and size down ~10cm from there

105 or no poles if it's just for park only. Get the 115s or longer if you are potentially going to want to use them to pole plant while you are actually skiing.

I mean for normal poles, my rule of thumb is elbow at 90 degrees and theres your size, as in when holding handle, your forearm should be parallel to the floor
