Abstract:
A snow deflector for skis comprises a structure elongated along the ski, mounted on the top surface of the ski and convex at the top. An implementation with an A-shaped cross-section includes installing a cable between the boot and the ski tip, wrapping fabric over the cable and attaching the fabric to the edges of the ski. Other implementations include forming this convex structure with foam, fiberglass or carbon fibers. Yet another implementation utilizes a frame over which the fabric is draped. Yet another implementation utilizes an inflatable structure.
