The Head Kore 85 Womens Skis is ahigh performance ski in a lightweight package. If you are the kind of skier who sticks to groomed terrain most of the time, but want a bit more versatility out of a narrower waisted front side carving ski. These skis are super light, so they're perfect for ladies who might be sick of their heavy system skis and want something that they can feel comfortable on all day. This year, Head revamped the construction in each ski in the Kore collection and they are now lighter and damper than ever before. These skis use a Karuba and Poplar wood core which keeps things light from the get-go and gives the ski a nice lively feel. Added to the core are a number of different composite materials that really give the ski its robust feel. Being the narrowest in the lineup, the Kore 85 W features the least amount of rocker and taper but there is still just enough to give the ski some nice forgiveness. Even though they are quite stiff, they won't punish you for your mistakes. These skis are best suited to groomers and hard-packed snow, but they can certainly take you on the occasional adventure off piste when you want to start to feel a bit more ambitious. Ladies if this describes your skiing style and ability, then the Head Kore 85 Womens Skis are a perfect match.
