HEAD Kore 85 W Skis

The HEAD Kore 85 W is a lightweight women’s all-mountain ski built for intermediate to advanced skiers who want quick frontside response, dependable edge hold, and enough versatility for mixed resort conditions.

Why It Works

• Lightweight Yet Strong Build: Graphene in the tip and tail, plus a Karuba-Poplar wood core with carbon reinforcement, keep the ski nimble and easy to swing without making it feel flimsy on firm snow.
• Frontside-Oriented Shape: As the narrowest women’s Kore, it feels quicker edge to edge and more precise on groomers than wider all-mountain skis.
• Tip-Tail Rocker: The rocker profile helps the ski initiate smoothly and stay forgiving in variable snow while still holding a solid carve on piste.
• Durable Premium Construction: Multilayer-Carbon Sandwich Cap Construction and a Structured UHM C Base give the ski a polished, high-performance feel for everyday resort use.

Perfect Match

This ski is a strong fit for intermediate to advanced women skiers who spend most of their time on groomers but still want enough versatility for bumps, mixed snow, and the occasional ungroomed run. It especially suits skiers who want a lighter ski that still feels energetic and trustworthy at speed.

Bottom Line: The HEAD Kore 85 W is a lightweight women’s all-mountain ski for intermediate to advanced resort skiers who want fast edge-to-edge handling, strong groomer performance, and versatile everyday usability.

Choose the Kore 85 W if you want a light, frontside-oriented women’s ski that still has enough range for the rest of the mountain.
