2027 Head Kore 99 TI Women's Skis

Wider-waisted all-mountain skiing for women gets a thoughtful treatment in the Head Kore 99 TI W. Built around a women's-specific poplar and recycled PET core with titanal underfoot and a tip-to-tail rocker profile, it's a freeride-leaning ski that floats in soft snow but still has the bones to handle speed and chop.

Why we like it:

Recycled PET stringers in the core are a small thing that means something. They keep the ski light and add a damped, low-environmental-impact alternative to traditional wood layups. The result is a ski that feels lively but doesn't get pushed around in chop.

Who it's for:

Strong women skiers who want a wider daily driver with real off-trail capability. Great for skiers in deeper-snow regions who want one ski that handles powder mornings, mixed afternoons, and the occasional groomer cruise back to the lift.

Highlights:

The women's-specific build starts with a poplar and recycled PET core that's targeted to lower body weights and skiing styles. Graphene reinforcement adds strength without weight, and the Freeride Sandwich Cap Construction balances responsiveness with a forgiving feel. Titanal layers add damping and torsional stiffness for grip on hard snow, while the structured UHM C base keeps things gliding across mixed conditions. The rocker profile is Head's long tip-to-tail layout, blending easy initiation with strong camber underfoot, and the flax-inlaid Hybrid Top Surface trims swing weight and adds a quieter feel.

Things to consider:

Wider underfoot than a true all-mountain ski, which means it doesn't carve quite as crisply on firm snow as the narrower Kore 93 TI W or 87 TI W. If you spend more time on groomers than off them, those are better starting points.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Sizes match standard women's lengths. Pick the size that matches your usual ride; drop a length for tighter maneuverability, bump up a length for stability and float.
