Powder days and big-mountain freeride are the home turf of the Head Kore 112 TI. This is a wide-bodied freeride ski with a lightweight karuba and beech wood core, two layers of titanal, and a long tip-to-tail rocker profile that combine to deliver real float in fresh snow without giving up composure when you're cutting back through tracked-out conditions.

Why we like it:

Despite its width, this ski doesn't ski heavy. The karuba and beech core mix plus the flax-inlaid Hybrid Top Surface keep the swing weight surprisingly low for a 112-underfoot freeride ski, which matters a lot when you're working through chopped-up afternoon snow.

Who it's for:

Strong skiers who spend a lot of time in powder or live somewhere with reliably deep snow. Built for those who want a dedicated soft-snow tool that can still carve back to the lift when the goods are tracked out.

Highlights:

Two layers of titanal sandwich the karuba and beech core for damping that handles speed and chop without fuss, and Graphene reinforcement adds stiffness where it's needed without piling on weight. The Freeride Sandwich Cap Construction balances power transmission with the kind of forgiveness you want on a wider ski, and the UHM C base is structured for glide across soft and firm snow alike. A long, low tip-to-tail rocker profile planes the ski up quickly while the camber underfoot keeps a real edge through the middle of the turn. The flax-inlaid Hybrid Top Surface is the Kore line's signature look, and it's not just cosmetic; the lighter topsheet trims swing weight and damps chatter.

Things to consider:

Wider than the average all-mountain ski, so this isn't the right pick if you spend most of your days on firm groomed runs. The Kore 106 TI sits one step narrower for skiers who want more versatility, and the Kore 100 TI is the natural one-ski-quiver choice if 112 underfoot is more than you need.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Sizes match standard freeride lengths. Pick the size that matches your usual ride; go shorter for tighter quarters and big-mountain agility, longer for more float and stability at speed.
