A successful start to the season for the HEAD Worldcup Rebels at the opening race in Sölden! HEAD newcomer Lara Colturi narrowly missed out on victory in Saturday’s giant slalom, finishing second by just one hundredth of a second. Emma Aicher claimed her first-ever giant slalom podium in third place, while five HEAD athletes finished in the top eight.
World Cup No. 1 in both the men’s and women’s rankings, twelve Olympic medals, 23 World Cup victories and to top it all off, the companies first-ever men’s slalom small Crystal Globe. The HEAD Worldcup Rebels ended last season with an impressive record. Now with high-profile new signings, HEAD aims to reaffirm its leading position in alpine skiing in 2026/27.
We’re excited to share the first look at the new HEAD | TYROLIA Freeski Team film, Inside the Season.
Ester Ledecká is heading into the new season as a HEAD Worldcup Rebel! The 31-year-old Czech athlete won Olympic gold in the Super-G at the 2018 Winter Olympics and claimed bronze in the Downhill at the 2025 World Championships. With four World Cup victories to date – two in Downhill and two in Super-G – the speed specialist has stood on the top step of the podium multiple times.
Lara Colturi is now the fourth high-profile new addition to the HEAD Worldcup Rebels! The 19-year-old sky prodigy, who represents the Albanian Ski Federation, will strengthen the HEAD team in the coming season, joining Henrik Kristoffersen, Christof Innerhofer and Alice Robinson. In her World Cup rookie season, at 16 years old, Lara conquered multiple top 20 results.
Yet another top athlete signs up to the HEAD Worldcup Rebels! Following Henrik Kristoffersen and Christof Innerhofer, HEAD secures a high-profile new signing for the women's team: Alice Robinson is competing for HEAD starting immediately. The 24-year-old New Zealand athlete finished last season in second place overall in the Super-G.
The next high-profile signing for the HEAD Worldcup Rebels: following Henrik Kristoffersen, Christof Innerhofer also joins the HEAD team. The 41-year-old athlete from South Tirol was the World Champion in the Super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in 2011; he also won Silver in the Combined event and Bronze in the Downhill at the same world championships.
High-profile signing for the HEAD Worldcup Rebels: twice World Champion and 34-time World Cup race winner, Henrik Kristoffersen joins the HEAD team. The 31-year-old Norwegian athlete, who has already won the overall ranking in the Slalom four times, earned the Bronze medal in this discipline at the Olympic Games in Mailand-Cortina 2026.
HEAD Sport GmbH announces its new strategic partnership with SnowWorld Group, one of Europe’s leading operators of indoor ski resorts. Spanning eleven slopes across five countries in Europe and the United Kingdom, the collaboration marks a significant step in expanding HEAD’s presence within the year-round winter sports market.
The 2026 Freeride World Tour was never going to be straightforward. Two stops cancelled due to conditions, a replacement event that also never made it off the ground, and a compressed format where every single result counted more than ever. In that context, the HEAD team delivered a full season campaign: historic victories, brutal bad luck, runs that will stay in people's heads for a long time.
The HEAD Worldcup Rebels impressively put their stamp on their No. 1 position this season. With 9,720 points, HEAD clearly won the FIS ranking for ski manufacturers, leading both the men's and women's rankings. The HEAD team notched up a total of 79 podium finishes, including no fewer than 23 victories.
What a finale for Atle Lie McGrath. The 25-year-old Norwegian athlete keeps his nerve on Wednesday in the Slalom at Hafjell, the final race of the season, and clinches the Crystal Globe in this discipline by finishing eighth. In the Giant Slalom on Tuesday, Atle Lie McGrath finished third to stand on the podium once again.
