I bought my brother and I 2 pairs of Leki Extreme Peter Habeler Ski poles more than 25 years ago, along with the snow shovel attachments. Unfortunately his son lost his on a climbing trip to Alaska and bought an inferior pair to replace them. Ever since then, every time we ski together I hear about how great these poles were and mine are still functioning perfectly. Most recently we did a night ski under the starlight on Cooper Spur on Mt. Hood Oregon. Instead of enjoying the solitude and peacefulness of the clear cold night, I had to hear about how great were the poles and the loss! Fortunately, we have not needed to use the avalanche probe feature except in numerous demonstrations. Is it still possible to find these poles and the shovel attachment anywhere? I believe there was an ice axe head attachment available as well, but I did not think that was safe. If you know where to find a new or used pair of poles or the equivelant, please let me know so I can ski in peace without hearing about these legendary poles. Thank You, Joel

LEKI signs contract with Lindsey Vonn through Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics10.29.10

BUFFALO, NY – October 28, 2010 - LEKI announced today they have inked an athlete sponsorship agreement with two-time Olympic Medalist and three-time World Champion Lindsey Vonn to last through the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. The four-year contract guarantees Vonn will train and compete exclusively with LEKI poles and gate guards. LEKI is also an official supplier to the US Ski Team.

Vonn races with LEKI’s revolutionary Trigger S grip system, the first “ski pole binding” system in the world. Trigger S is an integrated quick release security system where the connection between the grip and strap or the grip and glove is reduced to a ring shaped loop made from Dyneema®, a gel-spun polyester known for its strength and use in parachute cords and marine racing. Skiers literally click in and out of the grip with one simple hand movement.

“Lindsey is one of the most dominant and exciting ski racers in the world today. We are thrilled to have LEKI play a part in her goals and accomplishments over the next four years,” said Greg Wozer, Vice President of LEKI USA.
