Kore 85 W Skis 2022

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“I’ve skied the KORE 85 W in everything from firm corduroy to a few inches of fresh, and it’s amazing how light and quick it feels. This ski gives me the edge hold I want on-piste with the agility I need when I head into the back bowls or skin up for a few laps.”

We want a ski that doesn’t ask us to compromise—and the HEAD KORE 85 W Ski delivers. With a featherlight swing weight, this frontside-tuned freeride ski is just as ready for morning groomer laps as it is for big skintrack days. The nimble waist, sturdy edge grip, and poppy energy make it an ideal companion for skiers who seek precision and agility across mixed terrain.

At the core of the KORE 85 W is a fusion of performance materials: ultra-light Karuba and poplar wood sandwiched by carbon and finished with HEAD’s revolutionary Graphene in the tip and tail. The result is a ski that’s damp yet dynamic, responsive yet forgiving. A 25% rockered tip and a lightly rockered tail enhance flotation and turn initiation, while a strong 55% camber zone delivers confident edge grip. Lightweight doesn’t mean soft—the KORE 85 W stays lively and stable from first chair to final lap.
