New Zealand star Alice Robinson is the latest high-profile athlete to join the HEAD Worldcup Rebels, giving the Austrian ski manufacturer another major addition as the 2026 Olympic season approaches.

The 24-year-old, one of the most accomplished and versatile racers on the women’s World Cup circuit, will begin competing on HEAD equipment immediately. Robinson arrives following one of the strongest seasons of her career, during which she challenged for Crystal Globes in both Giant Slalom and Super-G while solidifying her place among the sport’s elite.

For HEAD, the signing represents another significant addition to a roster that already includes some of the biggest names in alpine skiing.

Alice Robinson Continues Her Rise Among the World’s Best Ski Racers

Robinson has steadily developed into one of the most consistent performers on the women’s World Cup tour. While she initially made her mark as a Giant Slalom specialist, recent seasons have showcased her emergence as a serious contender in both Giant Slalom and Super-G.

During the 2025-26 season, Robinson finished second in the Super-G standings and fifth overall in the World Cup rankings. At the 2025 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in Saalbach, Austria, she captured a silver medal in Giant Slalom, adding another major achievement to an already impressive résumé.

The New Zealand skier has accumulated seven World Cup victories and 24 podium finishes throughout her career. Six of those wins have come in Giant Slalom, while her breakthrough Super-G victory in St. Moritz demonstrated her growing strength in the speed disciplines.

HEAD Sees Crystal Globe Potential in Robinson

HEAD Racing Director Rainer Salzgeber believes Robinson’s fearless approach and competitive mindset make her an ideal fit for the Worldcup Rebels program.

“Alice Robinson is a brilliant athlete who is willing to take risks and attack the run with a vengeance,” Head Racing Director, Rainer Salzgeber said. “I’m very confident that at HEAD we can help her take the next step.”Salzgeber pointed to Robinson’s ability to challenge for season titles in multiple disciplines as a key reason for the partnership.

“It really is a great pleasure to have an athlete like her in the team,” he said. “Last season, she was a contender for the Crystal Globe in two disciplines: the Super-G and the Giant Slalom. That clearly has to be our mission now. She is still a relatively young athlete. I am looking forward to helping her succeed in this mission over the coming seasons.”

Robinson Excited for a New Chapter with HEAD

For Robinson, the move offers an opportunity to work with one of the most successful brands in alpine ski racing as she enters the prime years of her career.

“I’m absolutely delighted to be joining HEAD and to start this new chapter together with them,” Robinson said. “HEAD has a long and successful history in ski racing and has always achieved success at the very highest level.”

Robinson said she is eager to begin working with her new equipment supplier as she prepares for the upcoming World Cup season.

“I am grateful for this opportunity, excited about the future, and highly motivated to work with this amazing team.”

What Robinson’s Signing Means for the HEAD Worldcup Rebels

The addition of Robinson strengthens HEAD’s presence in both Giant Slalom and Super-G on the women’s side. Her proven ability to compete for podiums, race victories, and season-long titles makes her a valuable addition to a roster already packed with World Cup talent.

Still only 24 years old, Robinson appears to be entering the prime of her career. After challenging for Crystal Globes in both Giant Slalom and Super-G in recent seasons, she gives HEAD another athlete capable of contending for victories on a regular basis. With a World Championship medal already on her résumé and continued success across multiple disciplines, Robinson and HEAD will be aiming for World Cup wins, championship medals, and Crystal Globe contention in the years ahead.
