Winter 2026/27: Progression, Powered
Confidence, safety, and style for every run
For more than seven decades, HEAD has built skis, boots, and protection that make the mountains feel more approachable—without sacrificing the precision that experts demand. This season, that legacy continues with new platforms that make progression feel natural: intuitive all-mountain skis, safer bindings, smarter goggles, and boots and boards that keep you in control from first chair to last lap.
The all-new DISCOVERY Collection: A modern all-mountain family built around progressive flex, Auxetic construction, and the new Superframe chassis—giving skiers more grip, more stability, and more confidence as they push their limits.
Safety-forward bindings for every skier: The expanded PROTECTOR+ and PROTECTOR EVO lines bring Full Heel Release and new BTR toe technology into race, freeski, and piste/all-mountain segments—raising the bar for safety and ease of use.
Smarter protection for snow days: NEVES SUNSCREEN goggles adjust tint automatically with solar power, while NEVES SUNSCREEN CONTROL lets skiers lock in bright mode for flat-light days. YUKI kids helmets blend playful style with the protection parents trust.
Snowboard systems that just work: The PSI triple BOA® boot, EX binding platform, and POWERHOUSE LYT deck create snowboard setups that are lighter, more precise, and easier to ride—on groomers, in the park, and beyond the ropes.
DISCOVERY
DISCOVERY LINEUP - Power Your Progression
The DISCOVERY line is engineered for folks who want to feel the entire mountain open up as they progress. Built around HEAD’s new Superframe construction with Auxetic Technology, DISCOVERY skis deliver a truly progressive flex: the harder you push, the more support and stability you get back. On edge they feel calm and composed; in transition they’re quick and intuitive, with a big sweet spot that builds confidence from the first run.
Superframe + Auxetic Technology: A structural frame encases Auxetic material that expands under load, dynamically stiffening the ski as forces increase. The result is stronger edge grip, smoother damping, and a ski that feels more stable the faster you go.
Progressive Flex, Bigger Sweet Spot: DISCOVERY’s flex pattern is tuned to reward commitment without punishing mistakes. Turn initiation feels smooth and predictable, while edge hold stays locked in through variable snow and hardpack.
Better Balance Base: An inclined base geometry maintains a consistent ramp angle across boot sizes, so every skier enjoys the same leverage, stance, and high-speed stability—no matter their shell length.
All-Mountain Versatility: Waist widths from 74–86 mm, PRO and SPORT constructions, and tailored sidecuts let skiers choose the right tool for carving groomers, exploring mixed snow, or progressing toward deeper, steeper terrain.
