HEAD started pressing skis in 1950 and has been on the forefront of ski performance since its inception. In fact, the HEAD Standard is considered by many as the first modern downhill ski. Steeped in alpine racing tradition, HEAD took its race technology to the terrain park during the dawn of the freeski era, developing industry-changing twin tips with Olympic champion Jonny Moseley and freeski legend Jon Olsson. Combining hard-charging ski performance with the creative tip and tail design of the park world, HEAD has mastered hybrid design to give skiers a step up in a step-down world.
