Kore 85 W Ski – 2024 – Women’s

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“I found the Kore 85 W Ski to be a dynamic ride for all-mountain adventures. It’s lightweight yet stable, making it my go-to choice for carving through both groomed trails and mixed snow conditions. The responsive handling gives me the confidence to push my limits while the ski’s construction ensures durability.”

Who It’s For

Intermediate to Advanced All-Mountain Skiers:

The Kore 85 W is designed for women who want a nimble ski that balances precision on groomers with versatility in trees, bumps, and softer snow. Ideal for skiers who appreciate lightweight control, quick edge-to-edge response, and a ski that performs across a variety of frontside conditions.

What It’s For

Carving Performance with All-Mountain Adaptability:

As the narrowest ski in the Kore family, the 85 W excels on firm snow and groomers while still carrying freeride DNA. Its rocker/camber profile and stable construction make it a reliable daily driver for skiers who want precision carving with the freedom to explore off-trail terrain.

Why We Like It

Lightweight Build, Stiff Flex, and Versatile Ride:

We like the Kore 85 W because it offers a rare blend of energy and composure. A Karuba and poplar wood core keeps the weight down, while dual carbon laminates and a graphene strip add stiffness and stability. Hollowtech-inspired design elements reduce swing weight, and damping layers keep the ride calm even when pushing hard. The result: a lightweight ski that’s responsive, powerful, and fun.
