Head Kore 97

The Head Kore 97 W Skis are the go-to choice for all-mountain adventure skiers who spend a fair amount of time in both the resort and the backcountry. As usual with Head, the lightweight Karuba-Poplar construction doesn't penalize the user with a loss of power and edgehold; these skis are fully at home in steep and challenging terrain and are surprisingly stable at high speeds. Whether you're looking to shed some grams on your inbounds setup or seeking a supremely capable touring ski, the Head Kore 97 W Skis are right on the money.

Tip / Tail Rocker – Subtle rocker in the tip and tail; camber underfoot.

Shape
Progressive Chamfer – A crud-cutting chamfered top edge improves durability and gives a more playful feel.

Core
Karuba / Poplar Lightweight Wood Core – Utilizing karuba wood in the core gives you the perfect balance of density, durability, and weight.

Laminates
Topless Tech – The topsheet surface is replaced with a Polyester Fleece to reduce weight.

Graphene – Graphene is the strongest, lightest material known to man. Integrating Graphene into the construction of the ski has two essential benefits: a reduction in weight and an increase in performance.

Sidewalls
Multilayer-Carbon Sandwich Cap Construction – Developed from the most sophisticated materials known to man: the Super Light Sandwich Construction makes up one of the world’s lightest freeride skis by utilizing Graphene, two different carbon layers, as well as replacing the surface with a polyester fleece. The ultimate construction for a high performing freeride ski

Base
Structured UHM C Base – The same high quality material used in Head's world-leading race skis is used here. Different structured running base for all conditions.
