During the winter, many dog parents enjoy heading to the mountains to ski while the slopes are covered in snow. While focusing on performance and comfort is important, it’s also worth considering how your skiing gear impacts the environment. Most people don't realize that when we're out skiing, our gear sheds microplastics into our ecosystems. For dog owners who enjoying skiing and exploring the slopes with their pups, the Stoke Tracks are a great solution to reduce your carbon footprint.
The Stoke Tracks are fully biodegradable ski pole baskets shaped like animal paws that leave behind animal tracks. They're crafted from 100% plant-based materials, easy to install, and compatible with most standard ski poles.
WHO IS STOKE TRACKS? (THE COMPANY'S STORY)
Stoke Tracks was born from a passion for the outdoors and a desire to protect it. The idea of creating biodegradable ski pole baskets that left animal tracks in the snow came to the company's founders, Derek and Vanessa, during an epic snow day with their five boys.
Their mission is to inspire outdoor enthusiasts to make every outdoors adventure an enjoyable, Eco-friendly one. Their vision is to create a world where outdoor pursuits and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.
Whether you're out skiing or making new friends in the lift line, these ski pole baskets are your ticket to fun-filled days on the mountain without leaving microplastics behind. They're playful, functional, and sustainable, making them the perfect accessory for those who enjoy skiing without impacting the environment.
Here's our review of the Stoke Tracks, where we talk more about how they're made and discuss their pricing.
DESIGN
Starting with their dimensions, these ski pole baskets are big enough to prevent you from sinking into snow, yet small enough to move smoothly and effectively even on snow-packed slopes. They're also noticeably lightweight.
They also offer a universal fit, which makes them super easy to install. They're compatible with most standard ski poles, including racing, all-mountain, powder, back-country, bamboo, and adjustable poles.
To install them, simply twist off your old baskets and either twist or snap your Stoke Tracks onto the bottom end of your ski poles.
The Stoke Tracks also feature a cute design, as they're shaped like authentic animal paws. This causes them to leave behind animal tracks in the form of bear, fox, wolf, and mountain lion paws when pressed against the snow.
Best of all, these ski pole baskets also feature an Eco-friendly construction. They're made from oils produced by algae, which makes them fully biodegradable. They're designed to last forever while they're on your poles. But if they're lost in nature and ever end up on the mountain or in the ocean, they'll biodegrade completely in 2 years, leaving no micro-plastics behind.
PRICING & AVAILABILITY
The Stoke Tracks are available in four different animal paw shapes: Bear, Fox, Wolf, and Mountain Lion. You can choose between a wide range of color options, including Deep Blue, Dawn Yellow, Hot Pink, Himalaya Blue, Forest Green, and Aubergine.
If you're interested in purchasing them, know each pair goes for just $32. You can buy them on Amazon.
The company donates $1 from every purchase to Protect Our Winters, a non-profit organization that focuses on law reform for environmental issues and civic engagement campaigns.
