SALOMON, a global leader in alpine innovation, has launched its 2026/27 S/PRO ALPHA C BOA® Ski Boots. Introducing a completely reinvented ankle wrap and energy transmission system, this 98mm-last boot aims to deliver next-level control, precision and responsiveness for high performing skiers.
“This is the most direct, progressive, and smooth alpine boot Salomon has ever designed,” said Lauren Samuels, Salomon’s North American Alpine Category Manager. “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.”
Featuring a cuff-mounted BOA® Fit System and two lower-shell buckles for micro-adjustable comfort and independent tightening control, the S/Pro Alpha C BOA® introduces Salomon’s innovative ExoDrive construction and Powerlink lower pivot in what is described as ‘a completely reimagined ski boot design.’
- Exceptional Foot Wrapping: the innovative 3rd cuff overlap design and ExoDrive construction delivers exceptional heel retention by enhancing wrapping around the ankle and helping the boot flex as one unified system. The 3D instep shell anchors the buckle system directly to the cuff, delivering a more powerful and precise ankle wrap while allowing for easy step in and avoiding unwanted foot compression.
- Assisted Transmission: a lower pivot point and increased cuff surface optimise direct energy transfer straight to the ski. By amplifying leverage and eliminating energy loss this enhances on-snow feel for a ride that’s instinctive and responsive for high level performance.
- Redesigned Premium Fit: the reworked S/Pro CF Expert liner with 4D construction, premium finishes and new, edgeless Custom Tongue 2.0 offers endless personalisation options for a tailored fit. The use of a thicker shell design to reinforce key internal zones paired with lower density material to reduce unwanted vibrations provides optimal smoothness and all-day comfort.
