The 2027 Head Kore 87 TI W with Atomic Atomic Strive 12 GW Bindings is a lively and versatile Ti-powered frontside focused all-mountain ski for women. With a poplar and recycled PET core, titanal damping, and a tip-to-tail rocker profile, it's built for confidence on firm snow with just enough off-trail range for when conditions soften.

Why we like it:

Titanal damping keeps the ride quiet and predictable through chop, yet the ski light enough to ski all day without fatigue creeping in.

Who it's for:

Intermediate through expert women skiers who lean frontside but want some off-trail range. It's a great match for skiers on the East Coast, in the Midwest, or anywhere groomers rule and powder is the exception.

Highlights:

Titanal does the heavy lifting on this narrower Kore. The layers add damping and edge hold that keep the ride quiet and locked-in on hard snow, exactly what a frontside ski should do. The core underneath is poplar with recycled PET stringers, a women's-specific layup that comes in lighter than wood-only construction and kinder to the planet. Graphene adds stiffness without padding the swing weight, and an 87 mm waist tips onto edge with almost no effort, helped by a long, low tip-to-tail rise and strong camber underfoot.

Things to consider:

It's happiest on groomed and frontside terrain, so it's not the ski for skiers who frequent deep snow. Conversely, if you're a truly dedicated frontside skier, you may want something with even more focus on hard-snow carving.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size; you could go shorter for tight, snappy turns or size up to stay settled at speed.
