Ski Pole Makin’

Skadi Nordic Custom ski pole making MACHINE!

 

We’ve been busy getting ready for the next season… our season started well in advance of the May 1st start to the training season! We’ve been working on the 2012-2013 products since January. The big addition to the product line up this year will be aviation grade carbon fiber ski poles. Lighter and stronger than anything currently available.

In order to make these poles to Skadi Nordic’s exacting standards we designed and built our own ski pole making machine. Complete with custom engraving to put icing on the cake! While our exact techniques and equipment are highly proprietary, I will be sharing some of the process via photos, blog & videos.

Until then, train well!

Finishing almost 10 seconds ahead of second place. We'd like to think his excellent ski poles from Skadi Nordic had an influence.

2012 Junior Nationals J2 Boys 5k Skate Video

Watch Karsten Hokanson win the Junior National title in the 5k Skate Mass Start!

Skadi Nordic is very proud of Karsten, he works hard all year, trains for skiing in the off season, has the mentality of a ski racer. It’s good to see that commitment result in a national title for him.

On the Skadi side of things, Skadi Nordic is particularly excited about this race because this was the very first race that Skadi Nordic poles have ever been used. A historic moment for Skadi Nordic! Karsten raced on the Dream Pro poles, weighing in at a mere 46 g/m, these poles are by far the lightest on the market. I believe that the first race for Skadi Nordic poles ended with them on the top step of the podium is a very good omen.

Skadi Poles should be available for retail purchase Fall 2012.

If you’re a team or athlete interested in a partnership with Skadi Nordic, contact us.

Skadi Nordic Ski Poles

Skadi Nordic Ski Poles

Wait… are those Skadi Nordic poles up on your wall? Yes, they are. Skadi Nordic now has our own line of ski poles.

Skadi Nordic poles are a wrapped carbon fiber pole. This makes them stronger & lighter than ANY composite counterpart.

Don’t believe me? Try them and test them out against your current pole. Several retailers will have them in stock next week and many more will have them available for purchase fall 2012.

All Skadi Nordic poles will come with either a 1 or 5 year warranty against breakage due to any cause.

Wild Shot by Andy Liebner

 

WILD SHOT by Andy Liebner — Struggles and Successes in Biathlon and Cross Country Skiing.

“Wild Shot lives up to its name. Andy Liebner details his athletic training and racing in Europe and the United States. Beyond the physical and technical athletic requirements, Liebner gives the reader deeper insight into the proper and difficult mindset necessary for success. Realizing a little self-doubt can destroy him, Liebner discovers his greatest enemy and his greatest strength lie in his attitude. A true hero’s journey in every sense of the word.”  – Tyler R Tichelaar, Ph.D. and author of the award-winning “Narrow Lives”

“This book provides an honest perspective of what it truly takes to become a top level ski racer in a country with so little ski culture, let alone support for young athletes pursuing their dreams of becoming a top level skier. This book is a great example of what can happen if one’s passion and desire to race are strong enough. It is full of adventure and great examples of what can be done if an athlete has the passion and willingness to overcome barriers.”  – Sten Fjeldheim, NMU Ski Coach

“Reading Andy Liebner’s book is like going on a journey of discovery. Along the way you experience everything Andy does and become part of his adventure in Nordic skiing. Andy has accepted life as a challenge, and he draws the reader into his life as a world-class cross country ski racer. I recommend it as a must read for every skier.”  – Bob Gregg, Publisher of “The Master Skier Ski Journal”

Skadi Nordic is proud to have WILD SHOT available in their online store!
