Yes I know this is the bajillionth thread on this topic, but too many rumors were flying on WHY Anon dropped their ski team and even rumors that they never did drop them.
My good buddy, -Belly* is his name on NS (snowboarder) was also as sad and confused as me when he heard that Anon dropped their ski team. So he e-mailed them and got the answer on why. Here you go:

This was the Burton response to the question about the anon ski team..."Hey Bentley
A few months ago, we came to an agreement to drop free skiing from anon. We did this because we wanted to get back to the core of our company and focus more on what we do best, which is board sports. It may be temporary and it may be permanent. It’s too early to tell but for the time being, Anon will just be sponsoring Snowboarding, surfing and maybe some skaters. But that’s it for now. As far as teams go, Anon just sponsors a snowboard team. Any others questions, get back to me.
