2025 Head Kore 85 Women's Skis with Marker Squire 11 Bindings
The Head Kore 85 W with Marker Squire 11 Bindings is designed to provide the confidence needed to enhance your skills across the mountain. This frontside-oriented ski combines ease of use with exceptional responsiveness and power—qualities that are often difficult to balance. A carbon layer adds torsional stiffness to the wood core, enhancing responsiveness while maintaining a lightweight feel, allowing you to enjoy your favorite trails all day without fatigue. We paired the 85 with the Marker Squire 11 because of the Squire’s high performance and dependability for lighter weight all mountain and freeride skiers. With a light weight construction and a safe, reliable release, the Squire 11 is a go to choice to keep performance high and weight low.
Why we like it:
In addition to its striking color, we appreciate how the Kore 85 W excels on the frontside while still offering versatility for exploring the entire mountain.
Who it's for:
Advancing intermediates and up will find the Kore 85 W both versatile and enjoyable, making it a great choice for skiers looking to progress their skills.
Highlights:
The Kore 85 W stands out in the Kore lineup for its frontside focus, making it an excellent choice for those who prioritize reliable on-trail performance but also need a ski capable of handling soft snow in ungroomed areas. The ski features a thin layer of carbon, known as Graphene, which keeps it light yet powerful and responsive. Its rockered tip is easy to engage, and the tapered shape in both the tip and tail allows for effortless turn variation, striking a perfect balance between power and playfulness across variable snow conditions. Marker’s Triple Pivot Light 2 Toe and Hollow Linkage Heel systems work in tandem to provide powerful energy transmission to the ski, allowing for maximum edge grip and control of the ski. Lighter weight skiers can rest easy knowing the Squire 11 will be easier than ever to step into thanks to a re-designed heel piece. Perhaps the most underappreciated feature of the Squire 11 is the anti-ice rail, which sits on top of the toepiece and can be used to scrape the sole of your boots clean before stepping in.
Things to consider:
While the Kore 85 W offers excellent performance for aggressive skiers, it may feel stiff to those with a more relaxed skiing style. For those seeking more float in deeper snow or enhanced all-mountain performance, there are wider versions available.
Fit & sizing considerations:
These ski true to size.
