Put touring bindings on them and roast your friends to the top of the climb. Put alpine bindings on them and roast your friends back to the lift line. Put them on edge and fillet the groomer. Smear out the tails and slash the pow. Get them in the air and throw some spins and tweak out a grab. We can't think of a single situation in which an aggressive freerider wouldn't be stoked to be on the Head Kore 99 W Skis. The combination of high power and low swing weight has been pulled off so flawlessly in the Kore series that you keep expecting it not be true, but they just keep railing off turns and popping from edge to edge with ease. At the endlessly versatile 97mm underfoot width, this ski really truly does it all.

Karuba / Poplar Lightweight Wood Core – Utilizing karuba wood in the core gives you the perfect balance of density, durability, and weight.
Topless Tech – The topsheet surface is replaced with a Polyester Fleece to reduce weight.
Koroyd – Koroyd is a honeycomb shaped material at the heart of the KORE. It's super lightweight and incredibly elastic, providing strong torsional stiffness and stability.
Graphene Fused Tip and Tail – Graphene is the strongest, lightest material known to man. It is fused into the KORE's tip and tail to make it lighter and more responsive in deep snow.

Sandwich Cap Construction – Head takes the basic framework from the world cup sandwich and place a cap that just wraps over the top edge of the sidewall to make the ski more suitable for all mountain skiing. Bomber construction with a rounded top edge makes for one incredible all-country ski.
Structured UHM C Base – The same high quality material used in Head's world-leading race skis is used here. Different structured running base for all conditions.
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

The Salomon Warden MNC 13 Ski Bindings have seen a dramatic uptick in popularity as more and more of the best skiers in the world gravitate away from established runs at the ski area and head into sidecountry and backcountry zones, often with touring boots on their feet.
