The read

A frontside-leaning all-mountain ski rated for intermediate skiers, the KORE X 78 LYT-PR sits among the narrowest skis in its category cohort and pairs that with an exceptionally short turn radius, favoring quick, nimble arcs on groomed terrain. Graphene reinforcement and a rocker-camber profile keep it light and easy to initiate without metal layers, lending a lively and forgiving feel. It suits intermediates who want a responsive, quick-turning ski for on-piste days with occasional forays off-trail.

Specs & what they mean

What the KORE X 78 LYT-PR's numbers add up to, as a model — the three things that define how it skis.

Turn & shape

A 12.7-meter radius covers versatile, all-purpose turn shapes; a generous tip taper keeps turn entry easy and the shovel quick to engage.

Stability & dampness

Built without metal, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 2,028 g it stays light and maneuverable.

Float & width

At 78 mm it's a narrow, firm-snow ski — quick from edge to edge and built to grip hardpack rather than float. Tip rocker eases turn entry and float; a cambered tail holds the edge through the turn.
