2027 Scott Element Junior Ski Poles

Scott calls the Element Junior the first entry-level ski pole for future Scott pros, and it's a great-value pole sized for young skiers. A slim 14 mm aluminum shaft, a junior grip, and an adjustable strap make it light and easy for kids to handle.

Why we like it:

The slim, light shaft is easy for small hands to grip and swing, which helps kids learn proper pole plants. The adjustable strap is a practical touch for growing skiers wearing different gloves or mittens.

Features and Functions:

A slim 14 mm aluminum shaft of 5083 alloy keeps the Element light for young skiers at about 150 grams per pole. The Junior P-Lite grip is sized for smaller hands, and a junior adjustable strap fits gloves or mittens. Down low, a 50 mm junior clip basket and steel tip are sized for groomed trails. Lengths run from 70 to 110 cm.

Bottom Line:

Kids in ski school, family ski days, and early race programs will find the Element Junior an easy, affordable pole to grow with. It's a great first set of poles.
