HEAD KORE Tour 87 Touring Skis, Anthracite, 177 cm

Earning the descent is half the reward. The other half is a ski that still charges when you get there.

Most light touring skis feel flimsy on the way down, and this one refuses that trade.

Light On The Climb: A Karuba and poplar wood core with carbon layers keeps weight low. Every step uphill costs you less.

Strong On The Way Down: Graphene and carbon in a sandwich cap give a high strength to weight ratio. Edges hold where you need them.

Topless Tech: Weight comes off the top without losing stability or power. The ski stays composed at speed.

Float In Soft Snow: Rocker in the tip and tail lifts you through fresh snow. Turns stay smooth when the snow gets deep.

Skins In Seconds: A notched tail makes skin attachment simple. You rip the skins at the top, click in and drop.

Go earn the line and ski it like it matters.
