Beautiful pair of lightly used 150cm Liljedahl bamboo cross-country ski poles. They were marketed as part of the "VM Staven" line ("verdensmestere staven" in Norwegian means "world champion ski pole"); the top-of-the-line racing poles. Desirable orange accents - grips, straps, labels, baskets. Wood shaft is in great condition. One of the plastic baskets has a slight break. See pictures.
These would look great on display, or better, out on the trails!
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.
