Head Kore Tour 99 23/24 38542961

The Head Kore Tour 99 is a backcountry ski designed for riders who split their time between skinning up and carving down. Its 99 mm waist strikes a balance between weight savings on the ascent and reliable flotation in varied snow conditions.

At 1 690 g per ski (177 cm), this model falls into the freetouring category, making it light enough to reduce fatigue on long tours while maintaining enough heft for a solid feel on descents. The 17 m radius sidecut allows for nimble, confident turns on groomed tracks or firmer slopes, and the 134/99/120 mm dimensions offer a versatile profile that blends edge hold with playful turn initiation.

In ski terminology, the radius (17 m) refers to the curve of the ski’s sidecut—a shorter radius makes it easier to pivot and carve tight arcs, while a longer radius offers more stability at speed. The listed 134/99/120 mm (tip/waist/tail) measurements describe the ski’s hourglass shape, influencing how it grips the snow and releases through turns. A flat mounting plate means no integrated brake, so these skis pair best with lightweight touring bindings that accommodate separate ski brakes or rely on tech bindings for uphill efficiency.

Head says about theKore Tour 99 23/24

Light enough for uphill travel, the KORE Tour 99 has a construction built for downhill performance, and a waist wide enough to handle variable snow. The ski’s construction suits both up and down, thanks to the high strength-to-weight ratio of Graphene and carbon in a sandwich cap construction, plus HEAD’s Topless Tech, which shaves weight while providing stability and power. Rocker in the tip and tail add flotation, while a notched tail makes skin attachment a cinch. Precut skins can be added for a complete touring package.
