Head Kore 117
The biggest, baddest offering in the acclaimed Head Kore series, the Head Kore 117 is the daily driver for big-mountain skiers like Matchstick Productions breakout star Sam Kuch. Offering a near-perfect combination of freeride and freestyle capabilities, the technology “under the hood” takes center stage: extremely lightweight karuba wood provides the ski’s poppy, playful personality while ultra-stiff Graphene in the tips and tails ensure responsiveness. Honeycomb-shaped Koroyd inserts running through the center of the ski add elasticity and energy absorption, too. For the deepest days, skiers who prefer finding the fall line—or a certified “donger” to send—will experience unbeatable stability on the Head Kore 117.

“Slashed, burned and turned my whole way down. I could ski this everyday!”
