2026 Head kore 112 Ti

The Head Kore 112 Ti is a strong and surfy ski designed for deeper snow and more aggressive skiing. The best part about this ski is that it’s not necessarily married to that application as it still has a fun shape, light feel, and a longer turn radius that allows it to be manipulated and turned with ease in a variety of conditions and terrain. Ideally suited for advanced and expert skiers who are looking for a soft snow specialist, the Kore 112 Ti rips through crud and chop while staying afloat on wind packed and rugged conditions. This ski works great in technical zones due to the metal and profile while also feeling playful for creative and fun-loving skiing in mellower terrain.

Built with a blend of karuba and beech in the wood core, the skis get a graphine laminate for stiffness and response. In addition, we also see two sheets of metal that create damping and power when it comes to carving and motoring through adverse snow. The top surface consists of flax to reduce chipping and scratching while also increasing the damping of the ski. Due to this sturdy nature, tester Ryan Nagle notes that “It is heavy at first, but once you warm into it the skin becomes playful. It handles everything very well and does not bounce around.” The lack of bouncing is a big plus when it comes to charging bigger lines and taking a more aggressive approach to the mountain.

At 112 mm underfoot, this is a wide-bodied ski with a fair amount of tip and tail rocker. The Kore series gets progressively more dramatic in terms of taper and rocker as they get wider, so this 112 is on the curvier side of the Kore spectrum. With measurements of 140/112/128, the ski generates a 21-meter turn radius in the 184 which is on the long side. This allows skiers to be more creative with their turn shapes, letting it run when needed but also capable of being thrown sideways for slashy and smeary turns with ease. Tester Matt Stromecki put this ski to the test on a snowy day here at Stowe and loved the mobility: “Even in our tighter trees, this 112 with two sheets of metal could move around pretty well. There were a lot of obstacles to avoid due to the early season woods, but this ski maneuvered great. Awesome flotation and a ton of fun.” There’s a good amount of taper here as well, offering a lot to like when it comes to playful powder performance.

Best suited for advanced and expert skiers, the Head Kore 112 Ti makes quick work of adverse conditions and terrain. It’s an ideal ski for a snowy day, so depending on where you ski most of the time, it could be a good specialist for powder but if you prefer wider skis it could be more useful more of the time due to the strong carving performance and damp metallic feel. Either way, the Kore 112 Ti is a high-end ski with a lot of technology packed in for strong skiing in soft snow.
