Head Skis USA Kore 87 Ti Ski - 2026 White, 163cm

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I skied the new Kore 87 Ti last season, and it’s a big step up from the old version. The added metal makes it feel way more stable on hardpack, but it still pivots and reacts quickly when I get into trees or bumps. It’s the perfect ski if you want something lightweight and lively that also has enough backbone to hold an edge at speed.""We trust the Head Kore 87 Ti when the forecast is dry and we still want to cover every inch of the mountain. Head started from scratch with this redesigned model, crafting a ski that feels smooth and confident on firm snow while staying energetic and light enough to explore off-piste. The addition of Titanal laminates is a game changer, transforming the 87 Ti into a calm, composed ride when we’re carving fast on morning corduroy. A poplar and PET core combines strength and responsiveness, while the blend of flax, fiberglass, and Graphene keeps the ski damp yet playful. Rocker in the tip and tail makes it quick to pivot through trees or bumps, and the 87mm waist feels agile edge to edge without giving up stability. Whether we’re lapping groomers, picking our way through chalky steeps, or sneaking into sidecountry, the Kore 87 Ti is that rare mix of predictable control and lively fun."
