Ski poles Leki XTA Base Jr. — children’s adjustable alpine poles, black-white

Leki XTA Base Jr. — children’s adjustable alpine poles in black-white are designed for young skiers who need a lightweight, reliable tool for downhill skiing. These junior poles provide length adjustability to grow with the child, ergonomic grips with wrist straps for secure handling, and durable shafts suited to on-trail performance on groomed slopes. The model focuses on balance and timing support for recreational alpine skiing.

Advantages

The adjustable length allows a precise fit as the child grows, reducing the need for frequent replacement. Ergonomic grips promote natural hand position and improve comfort during runs, while wrist straps help maintain control during turns. The lightweight construction reduces fatigue for junior skiers and the robust shaft materials offer resistance to typical impacts encountered on slopes.

Suitable for

• Children learning or practicing alpine/downhill skiing on groomed slopes
• Junior recreational skiers who require adjustable length poles
• Ski schools and family outings where durable, easy-to-handle poles are needed

Key specifications

• Adjustable length range designed for junior users
• Lightweight shaft construction for reduced fatigue
• Ergonomic grip shape tailored for smaller hands
• Wrist straps for improved retention and control
• Durable shaft material suitable for on-piste use

How to use

Adjust the pole length so that the forearm forms roughly a right angle when the pole tip rests on the snow beside the skier. Use the ergonomic grip to hold the pole comfortably and secure the wrist strap around the hand to prevent accidental loss of the pole during turns. During descent, plant the pole rhythmically to assist with timing, balance and initiation of turns on groomed slopes. Inspect the pole regularly for damage before use and ensure the adjustment mechanism is locked before skiing.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, choose a pole length within the manufacturer’s recommended adjustable range for the child’s height and lock the adjustment firmly before each run. Store poles dry and avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures to preserve adjustment components and shaft integrity.
