The Porsche Lifestyle Group and HEAD have joined forces to unveil the PORSCHE | HEAD 106 Series TIME:OUT, a freeride ski that redefines precision and performance.
Designed in collaboration with skiing legend Aksel Lund Svindal and Porsche’s chief designer Michael Mauer, this ski represents the perfect synergy of automotive innovation and ski craftsmanship, offering freeriders the ultimate tool for carving their perfect line on the slopes.
A vision of perfection
The partnership between Mauer and Svindal is rooted in a shared passion for skiing, motorsport, and design. Both have long sought the “perfect line” — whether on winding mountain roads or fresh powder trails. With the PORSCHE | HEAD 106 Series, they have realized their vision, creating a freeride ski that merges Porsche’s design ethos with HEAD’s skiing expertise.
“Breaks are crucial for creativity,” says Mauer. “I find inspiration in the mountains, where skiing provides the distance and clarity needed for new ideas.”
Svindal echoes this sentiment, highlighting the freedom and solitude of off-piste skiing as a source of rejuvenation and connection.
Sustainability meets performance
Innovation isn’t just about performance; it’s about responsibility. The PORSCHE | HEAD 106 Series incorporates sustainable materials, including rattan and flax, which reduce carbon emissions by 85% compared to traditional carbon fiber. This nod to sustainability aligns with Porsche’s use of natural fibers in motorsport, exemplifying the brand’s commitment to eco-conscious design.
The ski’s unique construction also forgoes a traditional top sheet, exposing its interior materials for a raw, authentic aesthetic. This design choice beautifully blends form and function, emphasizing the seamless integration of technology and artistry.
Precision engineering for freeriders
Available in 184 cm and 177 cm lengths, the PORSCHE | HEAD 106 Series offers exceptional agility and versatility. Its dimensions (131-106-127 mm with a 17.8 m radius for the 184 cm length) ensure stability and performance in varied terrain, making it ideal for powder and groomed runs.
With its exclusive Porsche-inspired color palette and cutting-edge construction, the ski delivers performance and stands as a statement piece for discerning freeriders.
The perfect line awaits
The PORSCHE | HEAD 106 Series TIME:OUT freeride ski is more than a piece of equipment; it’s a testament to the power of collaboration and the pursuit of excellence. Retailing at €1,700, this limited-edition ski offers a premium experience that embodies freedom, passion, and sustainability — the ultimate trifecta for today’s adventurer.
Whether you’re chasing untouched powder or carving crisp lines on the piste, the PORSCHE | HEAD 106 Series ensures every moment on the mountain is pure perfection.
