The Head Kore 103 Skis are the widest and most powder-suitable choice in the exceptional Kore lineup for women. Whether you spend you days hiking out of bounds to snag the perfect line or prefer self-powered ascents to really get away from the powder-hungry crowds (or both), you’ll appreciate the Kore 103’s unique blend of power, precision and light weight.

Rocker Type

Tip / Tail Rocker– Subtle rocker in the tip and tail; camber underfoot.

Shape

Progressive Chamfer– A crud-cutting chamfered top edge improves durability and gives a more playful feel.

Core

Karuba / Poplar Lightweight Wood Core– Utilizing karuba wood in the core gives you the perfect balance of density, durability, and weight.

Laminates

Graphene– Graphene is the strongest, lightest material known to man. Integrating Graphene into the construction of the ski has two essential benefits: a reduction in weight and an increase in performance.

Topless Tech– The topsheet surface is replaced with a Polyester Fleece to reduce weight.

Rubber Foil Dampening Layer Over Edges

Extra Carbon Layer– Adding another layer of carbon to the construction saves weight and ensures the ski performs consistently.

Sidewalls

Sandwich Cap Construction

Base

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.

Binding Compatibility

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

Terrain: All-Mountain, Big Mountain, Alpine Touring All-MountainAll-mountain skis are designed to handle anything you throw at them including powder, ice, groomers, steeps, heavy snow, and everything in between, but they aren’t necessarily a master of any one terrain. If you’re only going to own one ski to do it all, this is what you want. All-mountain skis generally have what we call mid-fat waists that range from 80-110 mm. Big MountainBig mountain skis are designed for charging big lines with high speeds and big airs. These skis varry in width from wide, powder-oriented skis for skiing Alaska spines to narrower, mixed condition skis for ripping the beat up headwall at your local mountain. Skis in this category tend to be on the stiffer side, often with more rocker in the tip and less in the tail. Alpine TouringAlso known as backcountry skis, alpine touring (AT) skis are designed for going uphill as well as downhill. These skis are typically light for their width and many feature fittings that accept climbing skins. AT skis vary in width and weight, with the wider heavier versions usually used for winter/deep snow touring and the skinnier, lighter skis usually used for spring/summer/long distance touring.

Skis: No Bindings

Ability Level: Advanced-Expert Advanced-ExpertWhether you charge the steepest lines, hit the biggest jumps in the park or carve with race-like precision, advanced to expert level skis, snowboards, boots and bindings are for the more aggressive rider. In skis and snowboards, you’ll often find layers of metal, carbon or other stringers for rigidity and power, while advanced to expert level boots and bindings are usually on the stiffer side of the spectrum for rebound and precision steering.

Rocker Type: Rocker/Camber/Rocker Rocker/Camber/RockerRocker/Camber/Rocker skis have the playfulness and float of a rockered ski as well as the added edge hold of a cambered ski. The contact points on skis with this profile are closer towards the middle of the ski than a fully cambered ski, but still not underfoot. The cambered midsection provides a longer effective edge on hardpack, increasing edge hold and stability, while the rockered tip and tail provide floatation in deeper snow and allow the ski to initiate and release from turns easier.

Turning Radius: Short Short< 16 m radius is best for carving.

Core/Laminates: Carbon, Graphene, Wood

Tail Type: Partial Twin Tip Partial Twin TipPartial twin tip skis have a tail that is turned up, but not as much as the tip. This gives you the ability to ski backwards and back out of tight spaces, but these skis are mainly designed to ski forward.
