HEAD Kore 97 W Skis

The HEAD Kore 97 W is a lightweight women’s all-mountain freeride ski built for intermediate to advanced skiers who want strong versatility, easy maneuverability, and enough backbone for everything from groomers to soft snow and mixed terrain.

Why It Works

• 97mm All-Mountain Waist: Wide enough to feel confident in soft snow and variable conditions, while still remaining quick and practical for everyday resort use.
• Light but Powerful Construction: A Karuba-Poplar Light Weight Wood Core with graphene and carbon keeps the ski energetic and easy to handle without giving up stability.
• Freeride-Friendly Shape: Tip-tail rocker helps the ski initiate smoothly, release easily, and stay forgiving in bumps, chop, and mixed snow.
• Premium HEAD Build: Multilayer-Carbon Sandwich Cap Construction, Topless Tech, and a Structured UHM C Base give the ski a refined, durable, high-performance feel for all-mountain skiing.

Perfect Match

This ski is a strong fit for intermediate to advanced women skiers who want one versatile setup for mixed resort conditions, soft snow, and frontside laps. It especially suits skiers who want a lighter freeride ski that still feels composed and trustworthy when speeds pick up.
