About this listen
We’re joined in-studio by Andrew Couperthwait (aka Coup), VP of Head Skis, for a deep dive on what Head has been building lately.
We break down the relaunch of the HEAD Kore skis for 25/26: why the original ultra-light construction was insanely high performance but could feel demanding, and how the new direction adds suspension and dampness without “dumbing the ski down.” Coup explains the move to metal (landing on 0.4mm), how flex is tuned across different waist widths, and why the black vs white Kore skis can feel like two distinct personalities despite sharing the same shape.
Then we shift to Head Kaliber boots, Head’s purpose-built BOA project. We get into fit-first design, liner tech, stance, and how modern closure systems change both performance and everyday usability.
We wrap things up with athlete updates, World Cup and Olympic buzz, and a look at what’s coming next from Head.
