The Head Kore 99 is built to maximize performance and versatility without adding any unnecessary weight. With the use of stiff, lightweight materials like carbon and graphene, the Kore 99 Skis are shockingly light for how strong they ski. Wide enough to attack tree runs and deep powder bowls, and stiff enough to really lay over on edge and carve nice long turns. The Kore 99s are made to handle speed whether on trail or off and they can handle a variety of conditions in the resort or back country.

Key Features:

  • Karuba/Poplar Wood Core – The Kore 99 is built around a wood core that consists of Karuba and Poplar wood for a nice balance of energy and strength in the skis.
  • Graphene Reinforcement – Graphene is an extremely lightweight yet strong material used by Head to reinforce their Kore series skis. Graphene keeps the skis damp and stable at high speeds, while keeping the ski extremely lightweight for uphill travel.
  • Multi-Layer Carbon Construction – Head adds two layers of carbon to the Kore 99, sandwiched over the wood core and layer of graphene to further stiffen the ski, and help dial in the precise control skiers have over the skis.
  • Structured UHM C Base – The same material from Head's racing ski line is used to create the bases of the Kore series skis. The end result is an incredibly smooth on-snow feel on groomed runs or in powder conditions.

4.1/5
Rob G. tested this product
I had a chance to test these out last April at Powder Mountain in Utah. For a ski with a 101mm waist (in the 184cm length I was testing) these felt incredibly easy to carve with, and skied like a much narrower ski, and in off-piste terrain the wider platform kept things fun and (relatively) floaty. These would... Read more
Ideal for
  • Fantastic mid-fat all-mountain ski for aggressive advanced ot expert skiers
  • Very light for how stiff it is tip to tail (and vice-versa)
  • A nimble directional charger that can double as a 50/50 in-bounds/backcountry ski
Not ideal for
  • Not as damp as heavier skis on re-frozen surfaces.
  • Stiff tips and tail make these skis suboptimal for park/freestyle skiing.

Jesse Gantt owns this product
There's absolutely nowhere this ski can't go and perform exceptionally well. Hardpack snow / ice, waist deep powder, slush, groomers, variable / skied out snow conditions, this ski can handle it all. Which is particularly surprising in the crud as it is super light ski so it would be easy to feel like it would get knocked around, but thanks... Read more

Not ideal for

Erik was great!
5 /5
Erik was very helpful in assisting me to pick out my first pair of skis and ski bindings! I am an intermediate-level skier but have always used rental skis, so when looking to buy my own, I didn't have much of a knowledge-base. Erik was very helpful in answering my questions and with narrowing down which skis would be a good fit for me, taking into consideration my height/weight, skill level, skiing strengths and weaknesses, and price range. Thank you very much, Erik!

This was my first time buying snow sport gear of any kind. Tyler used the information I gave him to give me some really great choices and get me all set up with a board, bindings, and a helmet. He was very responsive to my questions and had recommendations for sizes and settings that I would not have been able to figure out on my own. He was great!

Brandon was awesome! He helped me choose the perfect snowboard gear, a Burton Cartographer with boots and bindings. He made sure everything fit perfectly and even scored me a great deal. Super pumped with my setup, the setup worked perfect for Midwest and East coast riding! Thanks, Brandon!

5 /5
Tyler made great recommendations and really took the time to understand where my skill level is at and where I intend to ski. Ultimately, I was uncomfortable making the investment without trying the skis first, so I ended up buying a pair that I had rented several times and really liked. I had so many questions and came very close to purchasing skis a few months ago but now I that I have nearly finished this season I have a better idea of what I was looking for!

Nico helped me decide what length Atomic Mavens to get and bindings. He helped me decide that these skis will work on East Coast ice and Jackson Hole powder. I wish Curated was sticking around because it's such a great service. My cousin bought skis bindings and boots last year with curated and is stoked.

Great help.

Tyler helped to reassure me on the board I have been eying, while also suggesting the best options for boots and bindings; he never tried to push the most expensive option, but rather gave me a number of choices to consider for myself (and in fact, recommended a cheaper boot option than the one I went with!). He was a great help and I feel confident that he helped me make a solid purchase.

I was looking at updating my board and was just looking around. After a quick chat with John to narrow down which board to pick, he made it easier than going into a store. He helped out with an additional discount that no other website could beat. Too hard to pass up a great deal, I bought the board and bindings. Cheers to debuting it before the season ends!

She knew exactly what I was looking for...
5 /5
I already knew what skis I was trying to find, based on the conditions I wanted to ski and also based on my skill level. Not only did she recommend the exact skis that I had been looking for, but she also recommended a better set of bindings than the ones I had previously thought were a good fit. I love that she's a neighbor over in VT while I'm in NH, so she knows East Coast (Ice Coast) skiing like I do. I'm so excited for the deal I just landed on brand new 2025 skis, and I have Shannon to thank for helping me narrow down the perfect fit. I'm just so sad to hear this amazing company is closing its doors, but while the deals are good and before they go, I will be recommending them to everyone I know! Thanks again, Shannon! Happy skiing!

Noah helped me tremendously. I kind of knew what I wanted but by asking the right questions, he helped point me in the best direction for my changing skill level and age and kind of terrain I'd be skiing more since moving to a different state. He took everything into account. He gave me choices for each item I wanted---skis, bindings, poles---and put together a perfect curation! I'm super stoked to be able to take advantage of the discounts of course, but I never would've been able to do that or even find such great equipment without Noah's help!
