2026 Head Kore 100 Ti

The 2026 Head Kore 100 Ti is a well-rounded and versatile all-mountain ski that checks a ton of boxes for a lot of skiers. As a mid-fat ski in this realm, complete with two sheets of metal and a friendly overall shape, the Kore 100 Ti is a great option for advanced and expert skiers who are looking for a bit more width in their skis. While fantastic and fun in softer snow, this Kore 100 Ti also has some on-trail chops that demand respect. Skis with two sheets of metal in the 100 mm range are incredibly useful no matter where or when you ski—these skis have almost tank-like mentalities to them that allow for various conditions and terrain mastery. Thanks to Head’s use of materials and design, the Kore 100 Ti is a fantastic option for advanced and expert all-mountain skiers.

Head uses their Freeride Sandwich Cap Construction here, consisting of a blend of karuba and beech in the wood core. This is an interesting mix because they are somewhat opposite woods—the karuba is light and peppy while the beech is solid and dense. As a result, the ski holds both agility and stability at the same time. On top and bottom of the core we get the two sheets of metal, increasing the damping and power of the ski. Like most of Head’s high-performance skis, the use of graphene creates more pep and energy with the implementation of the light and stiff material. Tester Danny Satterthwaite notes that the Kore 100 has a “very natural feeling. The tips and tails don’t feel overly stiff at slower speeds but lock in more at high speeds to make longer and stronger turns.” We also get flax incorporated into the topsheet to add dampness and increase quality.

At 100 mm underfoot in the 177, these are truly all-terrain and conditions skis. The measurements of 133/100/122 create a 17.2-meter turn radius, keeping things on the shorter side of the spectrum. Due to the tip and tail taper shape, the effective edge is shortened here, putting a bit more of an emphasis on softer snow, crud, and chop performance over carved turns on groomers. While Kore 100 Ti is more than happy to lay it over on edge, it’s still a great choice for drifting and smearing in powder and in the trees. Pete Fox notes that the Kore 100 Ti works best as an “all-mountain, all-terrain ski. It’s wide enough for deeper snow and crud but not so wide that it’s not versatile for the whole hill.”

These Head Kore 100 Ti skis are more traditional in nature than a lot of other skis in this range. With a blend of wood in the core and two sheets of metal, these skis follow more of an all-mountain build with more playfulness in the tips and tails for softer snow performance. As such, this makes a great option for a high-performance daily driver for skiers who don’t want to think too much about their gear—this is a mindless ski that simply goes where asked, in the best way possible.
