The read

A frontside-leaning freeride ski with an 85.5mm waist, it sits notably narrower than most freeride skis in the catalog, making it a groomer-capable option that still ventures off-piste. Two sheets of titanal lean it toward stability and edge control, while its short-radius sidecut favors quick, nimble arcs rather than long sweeping turns. It suits advanced women skiers who want freeride versatility without sacrificing on-piste precision.

Specs & what they mean

What the KORE 87 Ti W's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 14.6-meter radius covers versatile, all-purpose turn shapes; a generous tip taper keeps turn entry easy and the shovel quick to engage.

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 1,685 g the damping comes without a heavy overall weight.

Float & width

At 87 mm it's an all-rounder leaning toward firm snow — enough width for soft conditions, still quick on edge. Tip rocker eases turn entry and float; a cambered tail holds the edge through the turn.
