FACTION 2025-2026: INNOVATION, ECO-RESPONSIBILITY AND FREESKIING FUN
BLIZZARD 2025-2026: STRATEGIC SHIFT WITH THE NEW STORMBIRD RANGE
For winter 2025-2026, Blizzard is making a major shift in its alpine ski offering with the launch of the new Stormbird range. This shift is designed to appeal to a wider audience while retaining the brand's performance DNA. Positioned in the all-mountain piste segment, Stormbird skis offer a more accessible, fun alternative to the highly technical Firebird models. A great answer for skiers looking for a high-performance ski that's also forgiving and playful.
Stormbird: more accessible, more playful skis
Zero G: more touring fun
On the ski touring side, Blizzard updates its famous Zero G, the benchmark for lightweight, technical skiing.

Touring enthusiasts will appreciate this gain in maneuverability, without any loss in climbing efficiency.
Anomaly: a new design, not a new recipe
Last but not least, the Anomaly range, which caused a sensation when it was launched in 2024/2025, remains technically unchanged. And with good reason: these skis have been widely acclaimed for their perfect balance between grip, fluidity and gliding pleasure. The only new feature this year: a new, more sober design, to appeal to an even wider public without touching on what has made the range so successful. Very playful, the Anomaly expresses itself brilliantly on all types of snow, from groomed slopes to more variable snow conditions.
FISCHER 2025-2026: BETWEEN HERITAGE RACING AND TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION
For winter 2025-2026, Fischer remains true to its performance DNA, while renewing its track and racing ranges with significant innovations. A brand renowned for its racing know-how, Fischer is modernizing its flagship models with the aim of making them more responsive, more stable and more accessible to the general public. This season also marks the arrival of a key new technology: Noize Control, taken directly from the World Cup.
RC4 Noize: Noize Control technology takes to the track
A major new feature for 2025-2026, Fischer unveils Noize Control technology on its RC4 Noize range, inspired by circuit racing. This technology is based on an intelligent carbon layer, positioned from the heel to the tip of the skis, which acts as a genuine shock and vibration absorber. The result? A much more stable and responsive ski, able to turn shorter than previous models, with enhanced comfort even at high speeds.
Developed over two years of research, this innovation has been tested and validated by top athletes such as Daniel Yule, AJ Ginnis, Kristoffer Jakobsen and Katharina Huber. After proving its effectiveness on the World Cup circuit, this technology is now offered on consumer models, to provide an ultra-precise, fluid and committed skiing experience for all piste enthusiasts.
More performance, more modern design
In parallel with this technological evolution, Fischer is modernizing the aesthetics of its models. Historically reserved for giant skis, the brand's iconic yellow color is now available on a large part of the catalog. It brings a more aggressive and dynamic look, in phase with the promised performance.
With its sleek lines and new finishes, Fischer's 2025-2026 range leaves no doubt as to its focus: gliding pleasure, precision and speed. An ideal combo for skiers looking for equipment that's both racy and easy to handle.
A renewed but enriched range
Fischer is not making a clean sweep of the past. The brand is renewing the emblematic ranges that have made its reputation, while incorporating significant structural evolutions, notably on the piste and performance skis. This approach ensures continuity for brand loyalists, while offering concrete improvements in stability, grip and gliding comfort.

ROSSIGNOL 2025-2026: PERFORMANCE FOR EVERY TERRAIN AND EVERY SKIER
For winter 2025-2026, Rossignol confirms its commitment to supporting all skiers, whatever their level or terrain. With a strategic renewal of its ranges and an intelligent application of its racing and freeride technologies, the French brand is hitting hard. Two lines stand out this season: the all-new Arcade range dedicated to all-mountain, and the arrival of the Sender Free 100 on the freeride side. The result: versatility, innovation and a commitment to eco-responsibility.
Arcade: the new "100% everywhere" all-mountain range
Rossignol's major project for the 2025-2026 season is the complete overhaul of its Arcade range, designed for all-mountain skiing, i.e. exploring all types of snow and terrain with a single ski. The range's slogan perfectly sums up this ambition: "100% everywhere".
Arcade skis take the best of both worlds, fusing technologies from racing models with those developed for freeride. The result is a series of skis that are accessible, ultra-polyvalent, stable and playful, for guaranteed sensations whatever the conditions.
- Arcade 78 & 80: designed for beginner skiers, they offer easy handling, good stability and an excellent forgiveness-to-pleasure ratio.
- Arcade 82 & 84: ideal for intermediate to advanced skiers, these models add a little extra pep underfoot.

- Arcade 94: with a softer construction, this ski is designed for skiers who like to ski in deeper snow, while keeping the ski light and forgiving.
An assertive eco-responsible dimension
Rossignol doesn't just innovate on the performance front. The brand also takes an active ecological approach to the manufacture of its skis. The Arcade 84, 88 and 94 models use bio-sourced resin, enabling the company to reduce its carbon emissions by 8%. As for the soles, the 78 and 80 models are made from 95% recycled materials, while the 84, 88 and 94 have a recycled content of 30%. A significant step forward for a brand of this stature.
Sender Free 100: the new ultra-maneuverable freeride
Another big news for 2025-2026 is the arrival of the Sender Free 100, a ski designed for freeride enthusiasts in search of maneuverability, flotation and stability. This model features Rossignol's famous Air Tip technology, which ensures soft contact with the snow and reduces the effect of inertia in the tip, making it easier to link up on technical terrain.
The Sender Free 100 is also equipped with a titanal insert underfoot, guaranteeing efficient power transmission and excellent grip, even on hard snow. Perfect for those who like to move from the resort to more challenging areas, this model offers an ideal compromise between lift, stability and responsiveness.
VÖLKL 2025-2026: CENTURY-OLD TRADITION AND INNOVATION FOR PERFORMANCE
With 100 years of ski manufacturing expertise, Völkl once again confirms its mastery of winter sports by expanding its ranges with ever more technical and versatile models. For winter 2025-2026, the German brand is strengthening its emblematic lines, in particular the Mantra freeride family, the Revolt series designed for backcountry, and the Peregrine piste skis. A season that celebrates German precision, while meeting the demands of modern skiers.
Mantra 84: a new lease of life for versatile freeriders
The all-new Mantra 84 joins the prestigious Mantra freeride family, renowned for its power and stability. Inspired by the successful Mantra M7 model, this revamped ski adopts a narrower runner that extends its range of action to more varied snow conditions, while retaining the performance DNA for which the range is renowned.
With this new model, Völkl responds to the growing demand for more versatile freeride skis, capable of performing on groomed snow as well as light off-piste. The Mantra 84 is the perfect link between piste and powder, offering maneuverability, grip and responsiveness in a single ski.
Revolt 101: the new FWT-inspired freeride weapon
Another big freeride news from Völkl: the Revolt 101. Developed on the basis of the high-performance Revolt 114, this slimmer model retains its rigid, responsive character, designed for committed skiers. It features a flat heel for maximum landing stability and steering support, even in the toughest conditions.
With its demanding construction, the Revolt 101 follows in the footsteps of the pro-models used on the Freeride World Tour, and will appeal to experienced skiers looking for a pure, powerful freeride ski ready to take on the most serious lines.
Peregrine 78: the new standard in piste performance
In the piste segment, Völkl expands the Peregrine family with the introduction of the Peregrine 78, direct successor to the Peregrine 79. This model represents top-of-the-range piste-performance, with a ski designed to link short turns at high speed, with surgical precision.

ZAG 2025-2026: A NEW ERA FOR THE UBAC RANGE
For winter 2025-2026, ZAG Ski, the Chamonix-based ski touring and freeride specialist, is making a major shift in the design of its flagship Ubac range. While the brand remains true to its DNA of accessibility and lightness, this year it is making major changes to the structure, behavior and design of its skis. The result: a new line that's more demanding, more powerful, but just as fun to ski.
New Ubac generation: controlled rigidity and enhanced versatility
Historically appreciated for its supple tip and tail, thenew generation Ubac 2025-2026 evolves towards a more rigorous riding philosophy, without losing the identity that has made it such a success.
The new shape introduces a square tip, a reinforced semi-cap and a heelpiece fully integrated into the ski structure, improving precision and longevity. The major new feature is the distribution of stiffness: the ski is now stiffer at the extremities for better grip and stability in hard snow, but retains flexibility underfoot to preserve maneuverability and forgiveness in variable snow conditions.
A titanium reinforcement under the binding also makes its appearance, ensuring better energy transmission while maintaining the initial weight, thanks to a cleverly optimized construction using the brand's historic materials.
A revisited line-up, more versatile than ever
Bold, street-art-inspired aesthetics
On the visual side, ZAG confirms its change of direction with a striking design. The Ubac range topsheets draw a graphic fresco inspired by street art, where the mountains become steeper and steeper as the widths increase. This strong aesthetic choice underlines both the technical evolution of the range and the free, creative spirit of the brand.
