The read

The KORE 106 Ti is a directional freeride ski built for big-mountain and off-piste terrain, rated by the manufacturer for expert skiers. Two sheets of titanal over a karuba-beech core lean toward damp, composed behavior at speed in variable snow, while a rocker-camber-rocker profile balances float in soft snow with edge grip on firmer surfaces. Its turn radius sits near the middle of the freeride cohort, rewarding a skier who drives it hard across a range of conditions.

Specs & what they mean

What the KORE 106 Ti's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 18.5-meter radius draws medium-to-long turns and holds a line through them; a moderate taper keeps entry manageable without giving up much grip mid-arc.

Stability & dampness

A full titanal layup gives it a damp, planted build that holds a line through rough snow and rewards a forward, driving stance. At 2,215 g it's a heavy ski built to stay planted and push through chop.

Float & width

At 106 mm it's a wide, soft-snow ski built to float and plane more than to carve hardpack. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
