The 2026 Head Kore 99 Ti Women’s ski has undergone a wholesale change for 2026, and retains only the name from the previous version. Thanks to an all-new shape, profile, and construction, the women’s Kore 99 Ti is a powerful and smooth ski that – despite having 2 full sheets of metal in it – has a friendly and intuitive feel, setting it apart from others in its class.

Why we like it:

The new Kore line has a more traditional feel to it, making it an appealing choice for a broader range of skiers. It’s smooth and powerful, agile and playful, and quite easy to ski in spite of its burly construction.

Who it's for:

Advanced and expert skiers will love the confident and intuitive feel of these skis. While Head markets these as women’s specific skis, they’ve been well received by our male testers and could be easily marketed as a unisex ski!

Highlights:

The Kore 99 Ti W really showcases the advantages of Head’s new shaping and construction. Its Poplar and PET (recycled plastic) mixed core is reinforced with two layers of titanal and delivers impressive strength and stability for precise carving on firm snow, all while keeping the weight lower than many skis in its class. The tapered tip and tail, combined with an extended rocker profile, contribute to a lively, nimble ride that adapts well to varied terrain.

Things to consider:

The Kore 99 Ti W is definitely not for those who want a passive skiing experience. While they’re quite friendly for what they are, they do require some skill to access the most performance, so confident skiers will do best on these.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski true to size; selection should be made based on height, weight, and preferred terrain and skiing style.
