I answered alpine skiing, because a friend of mine had some business
discussions with Head about that type of equipment.
And the Head store I saw in Santiago the other day only seemed to be
seelling suitcases and backpacks, with no particular connection to
neither tennis nor skiing.
Looking at www.head.com, the display features both skiers/snowboards and
a tennis player.

> Australia doesn't even have a ski resort, as far as I know...
It does, actually. I don't ski, but I rode this train in the summer
of 1988-89:
http://www.perisher.com.au/plan-your-trip/new-to-perisher/skitube
Here's the company's annual report from 2014 (they don't seem to have
put the later years online):
http://www.head.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Corporate/Head_-_Annual_Report_2014_bw.pdf
Acccrding to the "Income statement" on page 6 (PDF page 10), their
revenues from their various divisions in 2014 were:
Winter Sports EUR 164.7 million
Racquet Sports EUR 149.5 million
Diving EUR 57.1 million
Sportswear EUR 6.8 million
Licensing EUR 7.2 million
This would seem pretty strong evidence that skiing should be an
acceptable answer, though since the data is over 2 years old, maybe
tennis should be given the benefit of the doubt and still accepted
also.
To really settle the question it would be better if they reported
what share of its market this represents for each division, but as
far as I can see they don't. Market share only comes up in a few
places in the report and only once with a number attached. That's
on page 12 (PDF page 16), where it says that in 2014 in the US they
reached a "historical peak" of 63% of the market for tennis balls in
units (i.e. counting the number of balls sold, not their monetary value).
Hope this helps.

Thanks Mark for the data. It seems that both tennis and alpine skiing
are correct answers here.

And tennis is not equal to "racket sports". Look at the report and see
how much skiing equipment they produce, if you want.

may not be considered a sport in Australia, but certainly is most elsewhere.
Further evidence? You mean that looking at www.head.com for 15 seconds
is not enough?
I know very well that Head is into gear for winter sports. I had never
heard anything about they would be involved with tennis. Can you provide
any evidence for this?

find the CEO posing with a pair of skis - not a tennis raquet.
Also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_(company) lists alpine skiing
before tennis. And if the page is to be believed, the company started
when Howard Head had been on a ski trip was surprised to find that in
the age of plastic and metal, the skis were all wooden. Tennis was added
almost 20 years later.

When I visit that site I see images of people playing tennis. I guess it knows where I live.
