The Head Kore 103 W is the ski of choice for ladies searching for the place where light weight, power, and maneuverability intersect. A tapered tip and tail shape combined with a good amount of rocker keeps the ski nice and nimble in soft snow, while a wood core is reinforced with carbon Graphene to give the Kore 103 a quick and energetic feel. Put it all together and you have a ski that can handle just about anything you throw at it.

Why we like it:

It’s light and powerful – after a day of charging at the resort, you’ll still have enough energy for a sunset (or après) tour.

Who it's for:

Those who are seeking a resort-ready ski that can tour in a pinch will find that the Kore 103 W is versatile and light enough to satisfy. East coast resort skiers will want to venture off trail to get the most out of this ski, and West coasters can enjoy its performance all over the mountain.

Highlights:

The Kore 103 W does all the things you would expect from a ski in its class, but what really sets it apart is how incredibly quick it feels despite being 103 underfoot, which is most noticeable in the bumps and trees. We can thank Head’s clever use of Graphene for this, which brings energy and pop to each turn, resulting in a quickness that you’d expect from a much narrower ski. The wider width means you can take on deep days with confidence, but get this ski up on edge and you’ll still be able to lay trenches back to the lift.

Things to consider:

The Kore 103 W is on the stiff side for a women’s ski, so lighter skiers may find they get some chatter in the tips when skiing harder snow. In that case, choosing a softer flexing ski would be the ticket, or save these for deeper, softer days where they really shine.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size.
