Observations by Chris D

The new inflatable gates/poles for ski racing and related activities are the definitive solution to reducing the untold number of injuries. The long-sought solution has been attained. The reduction of the mass inherent in old hard gates was the answer. Simplistic in hindsight, it is the core of this paradigm change.

The genius of the inventor not only solved the important injury issue but also provided a dozen other important innovations*.

Looking at and feeling the new gate, it becomes immediately clear that a new era of ski racing and training has arrived. Forty years of pain could now be massively reduced, if not eliminated.

A single, clever safety gate will serve our Youth, the Champions, and the Masters racing family going forward. The positive feedback on these comprehensive innovations has been tremendous—no surprise.

Experiencing the product in an actual racing/training setting will easily convince and win over the most skeptical athlete and coach. If, as a parent, you are concerned about your children's safety, insist on using the iGates System. "SHIN-TO-WIN" ©

Our Journey

Stefan A. Dag

the founder and CEO, spends his time with his wife Alexandra. He travels back and forth between Tirol, his homeland, and Colorado in the USA.

Stefan Dag has uniquely contributed to ski racing. Together with Peter Laehy, he invented and patented the original hinged slalom gate for snow skiing, Rapidgate®, between 1977 and 1986. After several years of continuous development, unending passion, and dedication, he invented Airkipp®iGates®, which is no less than a reincarnation. Now, iGates® will change ski racing for the young and up to the top levels.  "SHIN-TO-WIN" ©
