Four tracks, actual size
Every basket below is drawn to the same scale, so you can see the real difference before you pick one. The Fox is a little under half the width of the Bear. All four screw onto the same pole.

Will they fit your poles?
Almost certainly. There is one measurement that matters, and it is the same on all four baskets.
Standard thread. Screw them on or snap them on — both work. That covers most adult poles on the market, including:
- Leki
- Rossignol
- Salomon
- Black Diamond
- and more
Two things worth knowing
-
Keep your boots on
Swapping baskets is easier standing in your ski boots than in the parking lot in sneakers. You get the leverage and the pole stays put.
-
Warm them first
An ice-cold basket is stiff and stubborn. Ten minutes indoors, or a few minutes in a jacket pocket, and they go on without a fight.
-
End of season
Rinse and air-dry. That is the whole care routine.
Buying for a smaller skier?
Kids' poles are often thinner than 15.5 mm, and the baskets will spin rather than grip. Adapters exist for every pole size — email support@stoketracks.com with the pole make and we will work out which one you need.
