2024 Head Kore 93
An all-mountain specialist, the KORE 93 can carve up corduroy, conquer tough snow conditions or offer lightweight performance for touring. HEAD's KORE construction creates a more nimble freeride ski thanks to the combination of Graphene, Karuba wood and carbon, which adds strength and performance without extra weight. Topless Tech carbon weave adds torsional rigidity where needed, while a new topsheet shape increases durability. A sandwich sidewall construction and tip and tail rocker round out the KORE 93's ability to perform well on hard snow, powder and everything in between.

Intermediate - Advanced
- If you are a seasoned skier learning new skills, or a twice a year veteran taking on new challenges both on and off piste, you will probably fall into this category. Skis for this individual will usually be designed with a stronger wood core and sandwiched-sidewall construction. They will generally also offer both a wider profile and stiffer flex than a beginner - intermediate ski.
All Mountain
- An all mountain ski is engineered to be dependable in most terrains you have in mind. This could include heavy snow, steeps, font-side groomers, ice, and powder. If you have one ski in your quiver, this would be a good choice.
Touring
- Touring skis are engineered to climb uphill (generally with skins) as well as ski downhill. They will generally have a lighter weight to width ratio; wider designs rocking deeper snow and skis thinner at the waist being more appropriate for spring/east coast/distance touring. These skis will work well with either telemark or alpine touring bindings.
Rocker / Camber / Rocker
- A rocker/camber/rocker profile has both the playfulness and float of a rockered ski while adding the edge hold of a cambered ski. This profile moves the front and rear contact points medial, but still not under your boot. A rocker/camber/rocker profile is excellent for an all mountain ski, giving you float in deeper snow and crud, with a good edge hold on piste.
