The 2027 Head Kore Team with Atomic Colt 7 Bindings brings real all-mountain freeride tech to the junior market. A Sandwich Cap Construction, the Hybrid Top Surface, and a tip-to-tail rocker profile scaled down from the adult Kore platform come together to make a junior ski that handles soft snow, groomers, and everything between with confidence.

Why we like it:

Graphene turns up in the build here, which is rare, but much appreciated, in a junior ski. It adds stiffness and damping without piling on weight, so the ski stays stable for kids who are starting to ski faster and into more variable snow.

Who it's for:

Advancing junior skiers who want a real all-mountain ski that grows with them. it's a great match for ambitious kids who ski often, take lessons, or are beginning to seek out tree runs, powder, and off-trail terrain alongside their groomer days.

Highlights:

Graphene is the standout at this level, threaded into the build to add stiffness and damping while keeping the swing weight low for younger skiers. The Sandwich Cap Construction backs it with genuine edge response, a real performance layup rather than a beginner-oriented cap. Up top, the Hybrid Top Surface echoes the adult Kore's flax-inlaid look while trimming weight and quieting vibration, and the tip-to-tail rocker profile blends easy turn initiation with strong camber underfoot, the same profile that makes the grown-up Kore line so versatile.

Things to consider:

Save this one for kids who already ski with some confidence; a true beginner will learn faster on something softer and more forgiving.

Fit & sizing considerations:

Go by the skier's height and skill when choosing a junior length, sizing down for a newer skier and up as ability and speed improve.
