It seems that there are two factors at work here, multiple sharp angles for snow accumulation and the added friction of the bearingless (thanks Kyosho) sprocket axle that warms up a tiny bit under load. It seems to me that aluminum bearing supported sprockets are in order. One other observation, if nothing will stick to the tracks, they ought to have made the wheels/sprockets out of that same material.
