Anton Gliders are lightweight performance skis with extraordinary edge grip and a silky smooth feel on the snow.



The program at Hunter Mountain consists of a 2 hour private lesson with a certified Anton Gliders Instructor and an all day Anton Gliders demo. The cost of the program is $249 for Season Passholders and $299 for non-Passholders. You can make your reservation for the Anton Gliders experience by calling 800-HunterMtn x2328 and ask for Millie.
