Soul Poles - Review

Former US Ski Team members Erik Schlopy and Bryon Friedman founded Soul Poles. After going through hundreds of poles during their racing careers, they envisioned bringing back the bamboo as a “moral imperative.” The duo researched bamboo from around the world (there are over 2,000 different species of bamboo) and found some of the strongest in rural China – sturdy enough to stand up to the rigors of skiing.

Soul Poles makes their product in-house in Park City. In their words, they produce “climate change icon products driven by a shared passion to raise awareness around the challenges caused by reduced average snow packs, water supplies, and increased storm strength and infrequency in our mountain communities.” Soul Poles is an active participant in Protect Our Winters (POW) and 1% For the Planet.
