When a ski legend and a car designer share a love for curves, magic happens—or in this case, the Porsche | HEAD 106 Series Freeride Skis. Aksel Lund Svindal and Porsche’s Michael Mauer, two men who take their lines very seriously, have brought their obsession for perfection to the slopes. The result? A pair of freeride skis that might make your car keys jealous.
These skis aren’t just about carving lines in powder; they’re a work of art, crafted with sustainable materials like rattan and flax—yes, the stuff you’d expect in a trendy eco-marketplace, not under your boots. Porsche’s racing chops even sneak in here, with a nod to materials used in the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport. The lack of a top sheet reveals the natural fibers inside, making these skis not only high-performance but also high-drama.
Svindal and Mauer say these skis embody their shared love for a “time out” away from the chaos. For them, it’s all about finding peace in the powder. For you, it might be about flexing on the slopes with something as exclusive as these skis in Porsche colors. They’re agile, versatile, and unapologetically pricey—because freedom on the snow evidently doesn’t come cheap.
Available in lengths of 177 and 184 cm, these skis feature a sidecut of 131-106-127 mm with a 17.8-meter radius for the 184 cm model. Built for the perfect line on or off-piste, they’ll set you back €1,700 (about US$1,791). Who needs gas money when your skis are powered by passion? This is not Porsche’s first Ski set. There was the Porsche Design Elan Amphibio Skis and if you missed that, this is another chance for you to snag a set of Porsche cobranded skis.
