Salomon, one of the biggest players in ski gear, has officially announced the launch of their 2026/27 S/PRO ALPHA C BOA® Ski Boots, introducing a reinvented ankle wrap and energy transformation system for improved control, precision, and responsiveness.
“This is the most direct, progressive, and smooth alpine boot Salomon has ever designed,. The evolution of the S/PRO ALPHA C BOA® is all about giving aggressive skiers more power and control without sacrificing comfort. We reworked this boot from the inside out to deliver a high-performance design that responds instinctively on snow thanks to the new ExoDrive and better heel hold, enhanced energy transmission, and a fit that can be dialed in with absolute precision.” – Lauren Samuels, Salomon’s North American Alpine Category Manager.
The new boots feature a cuff mounted BOA® Fit System and two lower-shell buckles, allowing for micro-adjustable comfort and independent tightening control. The boots also bring in Salomon’s ExoDrive construction and Powerlink lower pivot, shooting to reimagine ski boot design in general.
The 3rd cuff overlap design and ExoDrive construction seek to provide incredible heel retention through enhanced wrapping around the ankle, helping to flex the boot as one unified system. A lower pivot point and increased cuff surface aim to optimize the direct energy transfer to the ski, and the redesigned premium fit in the liner is meant to provide plenty of personalization
The boot will be available in 4 flex patters for both men and women, including a 130, 120, 110, and 100 in men’s and a 115, 105, 95, and 85 in women’s. The early season sale for the S/Pro ALPHA C began yesterday, January 13th, at specialty retailers and Salomon.com. The rest will be available later this year.
