Beautiful pair of Liljedahl bamboo cross-country ski racing poles from Norway. White leather straps/handles and plastic/leather ring baskets. The Liljedahl logos featuring the crest of the town of Lillehammer are still visible. Note - one of the tan plastic rings has a break. See pics.
Liljedahl was based in Lillehammer, Norway. Swix, and its various parent companies, were of Swedish origin. Swix' purchase of Liljedahl in 1974 was used as as a way to expand its product line and establish a Norway-headquartered company. Liljedahl, as the leading maker of racing poles, experimented with different materials and pole features to make the highest-performing poles available.
In the early 80s Swix retired the Liljedahl brand, but its legacy lives on in Swix-branded ski poles.
