Kore 87 Ti W

The 2027 HEAD Kore 87 Ti W is a frontside-leaning all-mountain ski for women who want a quick edge change on firm snow and enough width and rocker to leave the groomers when conditions soften. At 87 mm underfoot, it is the narrowest women’s Kore Ti model and feels closer to a versatile resort ski than a powder specialist. The 2027 version carries forward the construction with updated graphics, according to the exact-year ski test.

A poplar and recycled PET wood core sits between two Titanal layers in HEAD’s Freeride Sandwich Cap build, with Graphene, a flax-reinforced top surface and tip-and-tail rocker. The metal laminates add damping and edge support, while the rocker eases release and pivoting in bumps or loose snow; camber underfoot keeps it composed through a carved turn. The 2027 testers liked its quick, swingy feel and versatility, though feedback on firm-snow grip and stability varied by skier and conditions.

Choose it if you are progressing beyond groomers or want a lively, damp daily ski for mixed resort days, especially where firm runs lead to bumps, trees or softer snow. It asks for some input and can reward a skier who likes to roll it onto edge, but the short turn shape keeps it approachable for an intermediate willing to explore. It is not as precise on icy hardpack as a dedicated piste ski, nor does an 87 mm waist offer the float of a wider freeride ski on deep days.
