Kore 88 Ti

The Kore 88 Ti is an all-mountain ski from Head, 88 mm underfoot at 177 cm, for advanced skiers who want control on groomers and play off piste. The sandwich-cap construction sets a light karuba and beech core between two layers of Titanal, with flax and Graphene. Head calls it its most advanced freeride construction yet, and says the Titanal brings stiffness with good damping.

Head also rethought the topsheet. A coated flax edge around the outline reduces chipping, the topsheet inside it helps minimize scratches, and using less of it means less plastic. Powder rocker at tip and tail with camber underfoot gives a surf-like feel in powder and strong performance on hard snow. At 177 cm it measures 128/88/112 mm with a 16 m turn radius and weighs 1,840 g per ski without a binding.
