Ski poles may seem like a small piece of the puzzle associated with alpine skiing, but being one of the points of contact with the snow they can form an important part of site assessment. The Leki Spitfire 3D poles feature the coveted Leki trigger system which provides a safe and secure connection to Leki glove models without the need for traditional pole straps. Large diameter aluminum construction provides explosion-proof strength and durability even after accidental collisions with pine branches. Lightweight design and ergonomic handle provide an intuitive feel when installing the pole turning and dragging the pole. Standard mountain pole baskets work well for those who prefers to ski without leaving the piste and the included powder baskets are designed for those who prefer to go off the beaten path.
