Head Skis 2025: First Look
Super Duper
Head skis are all about performance and sophistication. Keeping things dialed, with high quality materials, and good old fashioned traditional ski design. It’s what made the Supershape and Kore series so successful. As it tuns out, innovation never ends, so Head is taking a look at the mega-popular Supershape series and giving them an update. Not to mention, a whole new touring setup. We dive into the details in our Head skis 2025 preview.
What’s New
The big news from Head is a revamped Supershape line. The biggest difference is a tweaked sidecut. They’ve taken out some of the width in the tip. The goal is to make the skis less hooky and not pull you into turns as aggressively. Ultimately, the core construction is the same and the raidii on all the models remain the same. You can expect the same high end performance and energy, with just some refined turn initiation and links.
Head also is dropping an entire new touring collection: the Crux. With several new boots and skis and a new binding from Tyrolia, the Crux focuses on lightweight performance. The boots and skis all live solidly in the lightweight category rather than a more heavy, hybrid class. This is ideal for folks pushing distances and vertical terrain while still needing something that is stable and reliable on the down hill.
There’s a variety of new widths; a Crux 105 Pro, 99 Pro, 93 Pro, 87 Pro, and 81 Pro. The Pros include the full traxial “carbon jacket” with a full width carbon weave layer. The Crux 99 Pro comes in a 1385 per ski in a 184cm. There’s also a “regular” version without the full width carbon, with a Crux 99, Crux 93, Crux 87, and Crux 81. These skis are a little heavier, and might suit someone who needs the extra weight for heavy snow, or doesn’t need the ultralight weight of the Pros.
