Key Features:

- Karuba Core – The karuba wood core of the ski is super light and durable.
- Koroyd® – The honeycomb matrix of Koroyd in the ski improves stability and energy.
- Graphene – Graphene is used to form the tips of the HEAD Kore 99 W for featherweight performance.
- Carbon Laminate – The carbon laminate of the ski provides both stiffer flex and stronger performance.

 And again this is just something that that Head got right with this ski. So for me I would say this is one of my top picks in this all-mountain 99 underfoot space. If I was gonna look for something to criticize about it it's a little bit damp for my taste. A little bit

 Maybe that's why I bought the Rustler instead of the 99 the Core or maybe it's just the graphics hard to say but anyway it's a good ski. In this space this is this to me is a much better balance than where the Bonafide has gone too far I would say into edge grip and and that racy rockety feel. So check it out for yourself. Same ski for fall 2020

 This is a pretty fine degree of criticism here because it's it's certainly not upsetting me but I do like a little bit noisier of a ride. A little bit more active of a feel and this is a little bit quiet for me. Maybe that's why I bought the Rustler instead of the 99 the Core or maybe it's just the graphics hard to say but anyway it's a good ski. In this space this is this to me is a much better balance than where the Bonafide has gone too far I would say into edge grip and and that racy rockety feel

 I'm gonna say it tilts toward the carver end certainly compared to the Rustler 10 but this is a ski that I would feel pretty comfortable taking into moguls, into powder, into chop and at the same time when the snow smooths out and hardens up like it is right now the the Core 99 makes really nice turns. It just rolls so sweetly off its edges you know edge to edge down the fall line. Likes to go fast but it's nice and loose at slower speeds also and that's important to me. I want a ski that's loose when you want it to be loose and tenacious in terms of edge grip when you want it to grab

Head Kore 99 Review (2021) - YouTube

 So make sure you know what you're getting into when you look into the Core 99. Some of the other options, the Core 87, and the Core 93 are going to be a little bit more forgiving. So if you're looking into the Core category and you want a lightweight ski, I recommend testing them out or asking us questions. For more information on the Core 99, check us out on SkiEssentials

 Hi skiers, Allie here with the 2021 ski test from SkiEssentials.com. In front of me I have Head's Core 99 women's version. Nothing different than the men's version other than the graphic, but Head has a great construction of this

 So it's not geared to an intermediate, it's more towards an advanced lady who knows what they're doing out there on the snow. I definitely recommend it towards a higher end lady, someone who's been skiing for some time who wants that lighter weight under their legs so that they can have, they're not fatigued throughout the day, but they can still use and hard charge on that ski like they would a full metal ski. Where I'd take the Core 99, I'd take it just about anywhere. It definitely is a groomer on edge type of ski, but you can pop into the trees

 It combines graphene, caruba, choroid, and carbon in the construction and basically what all of those things combine is creates a super lightweight, stiff, high performance ski. So that graphene is known for being one of the strongest and lightest materials out there. Their caruba core is extremely light and responsive and then their technology which is the choroid, which is their honeycomb technology in here, again reduces weight and creates that torsional stiffness when you want. 99 underfoot, this is a pretty powerful ski with that waist width

 So check this thing out at SkiEssentials.com, the head Core 99 for 2021. Really cool ski and just, you know, just a ton of fun, ton of versatility. See you out there

 Karuba wood Core with graphene, Choroid and graphene mixed in and these materials take the place of the metal to do the stiffening and the stability. They do flex very stiff on the hands and you know, you would think that if that ski had metal in it, it would be unapproachable. But since it doesn't have metal in it, it's light and quick and maneuverable, you're able to do what you want with it and you don't feel that stiffness when it's on your feet. So don't be afraid if you pick them up in a shop or whatever and flex them and say these are too stiff for me

 So I think it's a 101 at the 189, which is good for someone my size. Cool thing about the Cores is that they're all built the same, regardless of width in terms of construction. Karuba wood Core with graphene, Choroid and graphene mixed in and these materials take the place of the metal to do the stiffening and the stability. They do flex very stiff on the hands and you know, you would think that if that ski had metal in it, it would be unapproachable

 This thing is just extremely versatile, really well-rounded, suits a lot of different skier types, you know, any terrain, any type of snow, you know, just click in and go. This is a real, real easy and fun ski to get on and go. So check this thing out at SkiEssentials.com, the head Core 99 for 2021

A little background… I have been skiing the PNW and northern US and Canadian Rockies for nearly 30 years now. I need an all-mountain ski that will go everywhere in all weather, and I found her!

I am in love! These skis are amazing. They are really responsive on the moguls, in the trees, and power through the crud with ease. They also float on powder like a dream. And they're insanely light yet solid all at the same time

Snappy and happy

Bought this same ski in a larger size for my now 16-year old daughter. She like them so much I bought a pair for her younger sister. They have racing background and really love the feel of this ski. I have a men's version in the 99 size and love them too

 They have racing background and really love the feel of this ski. I have a men's version in the 99 size and love them too. Best deal I have found on new high quality skis

Great all around ski

Womens Kore skis are so lightweight and responsive you can ski all day without fatigue. I ski a 162 and they are stable at speed and drive easily through crud. I have let all my friends ride on my  womens KORE and now they have them too.

versatile and easy to ride

5mm 17.3m Wood, Titanal, carbon Volkl M6 Mantra $700 Advanced to expert 135-96-119mm 30/18/24m Wood, Titanal, carbon Blizzard Rustler 10 $700 Intermediate to expert 133-102-122.5mm 17.5m Wood, Titanal, carbon Salomon QST 98 $600 Intermediate to expert 132-98-120mm 16m Wood, Titanal, carbon, flax The Competition Head’s Kore 99 is a fun and versatile entry to the all-mountain ski market with a nice balance of on- and off-trail performance

 That said, there’s still quite a bit of stiffness underfoot, and it’s not something we’d recommend for intermediates (or even strong intermediates) that like to take it easy and slarve their way down the hill. It takes some muscle to really lay into a turn and get on edge, and if you’re not pushing into the front of your boots, the ski’s rigid tail with relatively limited rocker has a tendency to grab and punish poor technique. On the flipside, powerful skiers that love a highly responsive ride will be rewarded with lots of energy and pop in between turns (quick and medium-width turns are the ski’s specialty), and the Kore’s great off-trail manners (more on this below) encourage a creative riding style. As I touched on above, the Kore 99 does have its downsides in firm conditions

  Switching to a wider and more playful model, Blizzard’s Rustler 10 is a consistent favorite. It’s light like the Kore but goes about its business in a different way: it has more rocker, is great for slarving, and is easier to manage at slower speeds on hardpack. The biggest tradeoff is that you miss out on the power and stiffness of the Kore, especially for advanced and expert riders. Both excel off trail and can be flicked around, but the Kore will be more rewarding for a hard-charging pilot, while the Rustler is less demanding and easier to get along with (it’s the much better choice for intermediates)

 As such, we recommend the narrower variation or one of the many strong and wide models in the all-mountain market for those that spend more than half their time on trail (including the aforementioned Enforcer 100, Volkl’s M6 Mantra, and others). Soft Snow (Powder) Performance In contrast to my experiences on hardpack, the Kore 99 really came to life when I ventured off trail and into my local hill’s sidecountry. Here, that lightning-quick personality shone through: the ski felt completely in control in everything from moderate powder (around 6-10 in. over a solid base) to just a light dusting in the trees
