The 2025 Head Kore 93 with Salomon Strive 14 GW Bindings is a highly versatile, lightweight, and responsive all-mountain ski known for its speed and maneuverability. Its stiff flex pattern and adaptable shape make it an excellent choice for aggressive skiers who want a ski that offers a balance between nimbleness and carving power. We paired the 93 with the Strive 14 because of this binding’s well known reputation for safety, reliability, and ease of use. Featuring an LDN toe piece that optimizes contact and response, these bindings integrate seamlessly with boots and skis, allowing for a natural flex and balanced stance, making them the perfect choice to pair with this ski.

Why we like it:

The Kore 93 excels in combining lightweight maneuverability with strong carving power, making it a standout in its category.

Who it's for:

East Coast skiers will particularly appreciate the Kore 93's lightweight and adaptable design, which is ideal for tackling groomed runs and varied terrain.

Highlights:

Featuring a Karuba and Poplar wood core, the Kore 93 maintains a low weight while delivering a lively, poppy feel. A Graphene laminate helps to dampen vibrations, while two layers of carbon fiber provide substantial torsional and longitudinal stiffness. The top layer of carbon is arranged in a concave shape to significantly enhance stiffness. Additionally, the ski’s tip and tail rocker profile makes it easy to swivel and maneuver in softer snow. The Strive 14 GW, with its lightweight build and low-profile chassis, delivers a smooth and responsive ride all day long. It remains nimble in deep snow and light on your feet as the day progresses. The LDN Toe Pieces offer a low stand height, optimizing power transfer and improving the connection to your skis. The Automatic Toe Adaption feature effortlessly adjusts to GripWalk boots without the need for manual adjustments. Additionally, the Snow Scrapers on the toe pieces effectively remove snow and ice, ensuring a secure fit that enhances both safety and performance for direct power transmission

Things to consider:

Lighter skiers may find it challenging to flex the ski properly and thus might not experience its full benefits, while heavier skiers will typically get more out of the stiffer flex.
