HOW IT WORKS A conventional ski typically has very little and often no pressure on the tip and tail resulting in chatter and loss of contact, which leaves the skier with greatly diminished control and stability. The unique Total Contact Suspension (3 patents pending) of the Anton Gliders is a dual action system that independently maintains constant pressure on the tip and tail, regardless of undulating terrain or typical errors in stance. This keeps the full length of the edge in constant contact with the snow providing a level of control and stability far beyond that of any conventional ski. This is graphically demonstrated in this short video clip: THE BASIC PRINCIPLE The basic design of the traditional ski, which dates back to before 2000 BC, depends on soft snow or powder that compresses and conforms to the base of the ski to provide the tip-to-tail contact and pressure that is critical for stability and control. A dramatic transition on ski slopes began in the 1950’s and now all groomed recreational ski slopes and race courses no longer have the vital soft snow or powder to conform to the base of the ski and thus the critical pressure and contact at the tip and tail is continually lost, and with it, stability and control. If the snow can no longer conform to the ski, then the ski must continually conform to the snow for stability and control to be regained and maintained. This is the essence of the radical technology behind the Anton Gliders. The sophisticated suspension system acts like there is Virtual Powder® keeping the tip and tail in continuous contact as illustrated in these diagrams:
