HEAD bids farewell in style as the official ball of the World Padel Tour after 11 successful years of collaboration, closing 2023 as the best year in terms of sales for the company’s padel balls.

What a historic weekend for Joan Verdu and for Andorra! The 28-year-old athlete finished third to take a World Cup podium for the first time in his career in the Giant Slalom in Val d'Isere on Saturday. This is not only his first podium, it’s also a first for his country. Podiums were also taken by HEAD Worldcup Rebels Cornelia Hütter and Lara Gut-Behrami on Friday at the Super-G in St. Moritz.

The women's events saw two Giant Slaloms held this weekend at Mont Tremblant in Canada. In the second race on Sunday, Lara Gut-Behrami raced to the podium again, this time in second place. On Saturday, the Swiss athlete finished fifth. Notching up 325 points in four races, she retains the Giant Slalom red jersey.

Have fun with the most radical control. The exciting new RADICAL series from HEAD has been created from a new teardrop-shaped mould with state-of-the-art technology and is ideal for advanced and professional players looking for control and versatility. Are you one of them? If so, you’re in luck!

Second race, second victory - Lara Gut-Behrami is on absolute top form in the Giant Slalom. Following her victory at the season opening in Sölden, the Swiss athlete has gone on to win the second Giant Slalom of the season in Killington on Saturday. There was another podium for the HEAD Worldcup Rebels on Sunday: Wendy Holdener celebrated her first top-3 of the season finishing in third place in the Slalom.

In addition to being well received, the Extreme ONE racquet has been given some more excellent news: it has won an ISPO award for its exceptional design and technological prowess.

Sara Hector is now one of the elite as well, finishing in fifth and in fourth place in the two Slalom events. Both of the men's Downhill races in Zermatt/Cervinia were cancelled due to poor weather conditions.

A perfect start to the season for the HEAD Worldcup Rebels! Lara Gut-Behrami takes victory in the Giant Slalom in Sölden on Saturday. This first race of the season sees the Swiss athlete win her 38th World Cup victory, her sixth in the Giant Slalom, and it's the third time that she wins in Sölden, following 2013 and 2016.

The air is thick and heavy with clouds swirling in from the distance as nightfall fast approaches. It’s 8:26pm and I’m ski touring through one of the many breathtaking glaciers surrounded by the towering peaks of the Urner Alps, a wild range nestled in the heart of Switzerland. The forecast high-pressure was expected to hold until tomorrow, but all alone at over 3000m, I’m abruptly reminded you can take nothing for granted in the mountains. The mood is somehow threatening and yet calm at the same time, although I can’t help but feel a mix of awe and trepidation, I’m all too aware of the power and unpredictability of the Alps. There is no doubt that moving through crevassed terrain in this bad weather is a serious situation indeed, but somehow I’m also overwhelmed with a sense of excitement from that natural fight or flight response. I suppose, the reason some of us choose to undertake big solo adventures like this is to test your resolve and to feel small in nature. Safe to say, watching my fifth and final climb of this traverse disappear into the white-out, I deeply feel both of these sensations around about now.
