Just wanted to say thanks, I never would have considered the Head Core 93 as a telemark ski, but I picked up a pair this spring based on your reviews and they have greatly exceeded my expectations. Generally skis either work as soft snow or carvers for telemark, but these are the best all-rounder I've tried for telemark in the last 25 seasons. Thanks.
Awesome, glad you love them!
Man your reviews are fucking awesome. My favorite skii review channel by far
Thanks so much!
I completely agree! I spent 2 years demoing true all mountain options .I have carving skis, pow skis, but I just couldn’t decide on my all mountain ski. I always felt lacking in the carving department with all the demos. I stayed away from kore skis because some people didn’t like how stiff they were for a light weight ski without metal.
I finally tried them a few weeks ago and I was blown away with how strong the carving is. I made them my Christmas gift to myself 😊 I can see these being a bit much if someone doesn’t load a ski well when carving, but I loved how strong they were carving. And you get all the other all mountain attributes, and a fun turn radius! Probably my favorite ski currently!
I just got them for $359 on sale... Shocked!! at how well they carve.. gonna be in heavy rotation this year.. Really happy with them.
Awesome! Great find
I have 2020 kore 93s. My twin brother has atomic vantage 90s (which I think have maverick DNA). I've always liked atomic because they're versatile yet gritty & strong. I told My bro that the kores are butter smooth. Not quite the full speed precision of atomic, but almost telekinetic with smoothness. My brother 100% agreed that for skiing with the kiddos, it was just so flexible. The Kore can be turned up to volume 10, but doesn't handicap you at volume 5
LOVE my KORES. Great review. looking forward to the next video.
Right on!
Great videos, you're probably the only trusted source of honest ski info. I just switched over to used pair of 99 kores from 2020 (paid $320 with marker bindings, happy with price, good condition, hard to find in my area). Holy cow so much better than my 20-year-old k2s that are so heavy and clunky lol. Skied 3 days straight for about 20 hours total on the kores. I feel like I went from the Stone age to modern times. The kores are so light and maneuverable in the mogels and slush of the Pacific Northwest. I'm such an idiot skiing on old technology but I am on a budget.
i too was a K2 guy. one day a friend says man your skis are heavy(a buddy also is a K2 guy),his too.i bought a kore 88 and could not believe how much speed they like with the light weight.
hey, nice to see this, just now. I just boght the 99 type, 2 yrs old. Excited to try them out!
I have too many skis, and you have me looking for another 😅😂
Great review
Went to a demo day this weekend and now I have another couple pairs I would love to have. I think this may be a disease...😆
Nice! Glad you got to ski on these, everything I watched on them was good almost to good. But what sold me on mine was Bob had picked this out as his own personal ski and we are similar build and weight.
I love mine they are great addition to my two ski quiver as my other ski is stiff carving ski. The Kores do so much better on the soft slush or even harder when it’s lumpy. Also Wanted something to branch into all mountain and something I can take with out west when I go.
Couldn’t be happier.
I will admit they aren’t the most durable ski but I haven’t seen any problems with mine yet.
I also put phantom waxless glide system on mine, will be testing that out soon.
Just decided to order them :D for me it was perfectly timed review
Right on, hope you love them!
Couldn't agree more with you about turn initiation. I wish I had bought mine in a shorter length so they could turn a little quicker. Great review, your impressions match my experience with them.
Right on!
I love them too!!!!!
They're really great
I bought a pair of discounted demo 180 cm Kore 93's back in AUG 2019 along with a set of pre-installed fully adjustable Tyrolia Attack 13 bindings. I'm 6'2, 260 lbs and ski everything from green groomers to double black trees/glades. I don't ski parks, jumps, and cliffs. I've beat the crap out of these skis over the past 5 seasons (~180 days of skiing) across Colorado, Utah, California, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Switzerland, France, & Italy. I LOVE these skis. Very stiff, a bit chattery on chunk, and don't float well in deep powder. They are decent enough if you lean back and chill in deep pow though. They are great on groomers, up to 5" of powder, ice (if sharpened), and trees. These skis are VERY snappy, agile in turns, and fast, especially on blue & black groomers (I've gotten up to 68 mph). I'll definitely be replacing my worn out ones with a new pair for next season. He's definitely on target about the top layer delamination. The top layer on my skis did seem to chip along the edges fairly easily, which was dissapointing, but I've found this to be strictly a cosmetic issue and did not affect the performance at all. Highly recommended for intermediate and advanced skiers, but not for beginners or people who need "pretty" skis.
Good review man. I'm similar weight and height to you and checking these out as an option. Did you ever try the Declivity 92 Ti as well? Seems they compare with these
@@turbo66 - Thanks much. Haven’t had the opportunity to try out any other skis. Not much selection here in Iowa. I based my purchase decision on about 10 different all-mountain ski comparisons at the time & I just happened to find these while returning from a fishing trip up in Minnesota.
Finally got a chance to test all these skis you like on demo day at the local mountain. My quick take after a few runs on each ski on scraped up icy groomers.
QST92: Very soft flexing, even my gf found it soft and she likes skis like nordica santa ana unlimited and Atomic Maven 86. I liked the ski a lot in soft snow but wasn't too much of that around.
Atomic Maverick 95 ti. I didn't love it in 180 but like it a lot in 188. Could see this as my daily. Wish they made it in 184.
Head Core 93. Liked it and wish I had more time on it. They had it aggressively tuned I think because it felt hooky, but it felt light on the feet and fun and had surprisingly good edge grip.
Biggest surprise was Nordica steadfast 85. Super easy to ski and quiet also held up good on the icy groomers.
Also tried Heads new racing ski in 163 which was a hoot but I'm too old for those. Legs got pretty shot.
I like skis with a lot of metal so was a treat to be able to demo so many new (lighter) skis. I think I need to adapt my skiing style and to trust the skis more.
On the flip side I found it easier on the legs and it was actually fun to jib around and take small pops off of features again.
Really wish I lived somewhere they have a lot of fresh snow.
Yeah the qst's are very surprising!
Great review! Convinced me to buy em and a pair of 105s!
Right on!
The reason you like these is because they're very similar shape profile to Atomic Mavs. If you compare Kor 87's to the Mav 86C's (which come out of the same mold as 88Ti's despite the name but without the titanol sheet of course), they're basically the same ski. The titanol sheet in the Mav Ti's just make them more torsionally rigid.
Interesting, they definitely feel unique on my feet, but I can see where you're coming from.
These and qst were my favorite skis in that category.
The QST's are also great!
Just getting caught up on my Ricketies, and this video makes me really want to see a review of the Mirus Cor. It’s supposedly Black Crows premier hard carving free ride ski. It sounds like the midpoint between Elliot and Zach’s ski styles and I bet they’d have some super interesting things to say.
Thank you! I was thinking about the Kore, but the negative you mentioned is a big one for me. I like super responsive skis.
you might really like the kore 87, there should be a review out before too long
Very interesting review and glad you like the skis. Seems your ski style prefers light weight, responsive carving, and lots of rebound. The length seemed short for you, but they are known to be stiff and you can size down, it seems to have worked for you. As you get on more skis it will be interesting to see if similar skis get similar reviews. Sounds like an Elan Ripstick is another ski you will like.
Have you gotten on any FIS SL skis lately? Not light and probably not good off piste, but they have the responsive carve down pat.
Head Kore are amazing skis and have technology unlike many other mainstream ski manufacturers. Hence you get light weight, damp, stable and quick edge to edge. I think the only other manufacturer with almost similar build and feel are the DPS Pagoda Piste C2. You simply can’t go wrong on any of the Head Kore offerings. I think more skiers could be on these skis over the other offerings from Volkl, Nordica, Blizzard and Stockli!
I'm glad to see this review was positive. Yeah, the Head Kore have been a great line for several years. I still like the Ripsticks better, and the black edition is an experience worth having.
oh man, I'm trying really hard to test, but Elan is non responsive so I'm having to get a bit creative, but I'm determined to get on the ripsticks this winter.
My 1& 1/2 cents. I really enjoy your channel. Little quirk I truly appreciate is the view of your ski tips while turning on groomers . Tip stability or flex under load tells me a lot . 30C* and 2 inches of rain an hour here , good time to catch up on reviews. Btw , where is grumpy Elliot ? This new guy is so pleasant I am getting confused with SE. Both great channels and complimentary.
haha, thanks, not much to be grumpy about with these skis tbh.
I too was v.impressed by the Kore 93, from a few years ago, on piste. They carved so easily it was like cheating. But, when taking them off piste, I was left with the impression they were a bit one dimensional, not pivoting or floating as well as I'd expected, and too easily deflected by icy crud. I expect the 99s would be the sweet spot of the range.
Your 6'1" & skiing 177s? I've got a 5'5" buddy who absolutely ROCKS the moguls on his Stokli 191s. I can't watch him it unnerves me!
Hey! So glad to hear you like the Head Kore! If you liked the 93, you gotta try the 105. I've had my 105s for five years now and I love 'em. They do chip and nick easily as they don't have the heavy top sheet - saves on weight (but keep in mind, it IS only cosmetic, the ski’s integrity does hold up). The 105s also don't do great in the crud or chop, they're not very damp. and they are a bargain when you shop off-season.
You also used the exact word I used when I first bought 'em..."Snappy". They are. They do exactly what you ask them to and they do it ..SNAPPY!!! I can even rock slalom like turns on my 105s! Great review.
Once I review the 99's I'm hoping to review the 105's!
@@RicketySkiReviews due to a baggage issue. The airline paid for my rental for a day.
So I demoed two skis….would love to share w you what I thought.
😀
oh man i need to demo it again. i tried the first generation Kore in Snowbird. It had not snowed in 2 weeks (good coverage though) and i felt the ski was hard to control in steep technical terrain with hard snow, it only wanted to go fast, i returned it and got the Brahma and was happy. I think they made some changes and i like the Head supershape skis a lot.
definitely worth trying out! I was really surprised.
Sweet review Elliott! Have you have gotten on a pair of Blizzard Rustler 9 yet? Much of what you said about the Kore 93 sounds like my (limited) experience on my pair of R9s. Great snow up on Bogus yesterday, finally!!!
Hoping to get on them, though Blizzard doesn't reply to my emails.
When I bought my enforcer 94 I was initially looking for a Kore 93... but there was none in my area haha. My hypothesis for their abbordability is that like the enforcer, they are quite old. Its interesting to see that you feel like they remained top performelanced, while othrr old modals like enforcer now start to feel old. I'm very interested to see the new direction Head will take with their all mountain line.
I went from a 5 ski quiver to Kore 93s and some powder skis. I don't need anything else.
Ive been looking forward to this review! I ski on the 2020 kore 93 myself. Great stuff!
Did you find them to chatter much?
No, not really much in the chatter actually despite the conditions being less than ideal.
you might want to try the kore 88s since you like your mavericks so much. i used mine last year mammoth last year an loved them. seemed like they kept on wanting me to go faster an faster on rails. also skiied them in 18" chopped up over bumps an they felt great too. just bought a pair of mavericks 95tis due to your recommendation
Hoping to soon! That's awesome, I hope you love them.
I wanted new powder skis for the 2023-24 season anyways, but something clinched me turning my 2018 Head Kore 99s into my rock skis. I noticed about a yr ago the back tips had started delaminating. Used some tools to fix this to a degree, but this clinched them in becoming Rock Skis. I'll keep this delamination in my when discussing Head Kore skis on the lift, etc. BTW I found the Head 99 absolutely useless in hardpack, and didn't particularly like it on groomers. Powder & Potatoes are it's home!
I have the Kore 87 and I had exactly the same impressions as you when I tried them before buying. The turns you can do on those are so much fun! And since I ski in the East, the 87 give me more maneuverability and are easier to flex for my 155 pound weight. By the way, I think their stiffness is why the 93 and wider don't sell as much. Lighter skiers can have a hard time flexing them. But overall, I think my Kore are the closest all mountains I've tried to a race skis, while being the lightest in the category and easiest to maneuver. And your 100% right about cosmetic durability ;)
Hi @BabTheBabs, curious that how tall you are and what's length of your Kore 87? I'm a lightweight skier (175cm, 132lb) who is considering Head Kore at the moment but not sure what's the best length for me. (based on it's stiffness)
@@alexanderlin2022 Hi! So I'm 183 cm but also pretty light at 155lbs. I chose the 183 for the stability and I'm very happy with them. On the other side, they lose some maneuverability, especially in bad conditions such as icy moguls. Considering their stiffness, you should take either 177 or even go smaller if you are used to small lenghts.
I took my Stockli Stormrider 105s x 177 out today 1-2-2024.. I hit some stuff.. Luckily nothing is too bad.. Got to watch it when there isn't much snow.. Carry on..
You could check out the review from Ski Essentials.. Bob really likes these skis.. I think he skis them at a longer length-not sure.. I didn't ski these but I skied the 99s x 177 and they were great on the groomers but very reactive.. I got stuck with them in the crud and they bounced around in the crud.. I have talked to people who have a wider width and they say those are more damp.. I do see people skiing on the 93 so they must like them.. It seams like you and I have different styles and I think the difference between me and Bob is that his height dampens a lot of the reaction from the ski...
BRECK opened up PEAK 10.. That is for experts only so I let my skis run and my Stockli flew.. It was rock hard groomer/ice that did get shaved off and it was bumpy in a groomer sort of way.. This was the first day of this season that I let my skis go.. Up until this point I let the other skiers do as they will and this time I did as I willed...
You got some really nice turns with those skis..
I look forward to your review on the wider skis..
Hi Elliot. love your videos, wanting to get into skiing so been watching quite a few of your vids. After watching this video was considering looking to get a pair of these skis since you speak of them quite highly. Can you explain to me what the 93 signifies? looking online, there the head kore comes in several different numbers, is the 93 related to the waist size? thank you
Yeah it means 93mm width under foot
No brainer Head skis are legends!
Yeah I really liked them
These are some bold statements. I really like the maverick. Very interesting that you're putting this above the maverick. You're making me very anxious to try my Kore 105s!!! Just bought it as my powder ski.
can't wait to hear how you like the 105s. I can rock slalom like turns in them and when there is pow...they don't let you down. (although this born and bread east-coast skier needs powder lessons).
@keith2076 I'm also on the east coast. Waiting for snow!
I ski the west now.....and am still getting used to the deep snow that I get to ski on occasion@@carterfan80
To be clear I still prefer the Maverick 88ti's but, yeah, I was really surprised by how much I loved the Kores. They're so unassuming, but perform really well.
Is the 24 version different than the 23 version?
What length were you on? Sorry if I missed it within the video.
As a comparison, would be interesting for you to try a Declivity 92ti now, as they are a different way of doing lighter all mountain too.....
I'm trying so hard to test these, I almost bought a pair, but Armada is completely unresponsive so I'm not sure when I'll get on them.
Same as many love your reviews, thank you
What would be your comment about a 58 year old guy skiing only a couple weeks a season on mostly grummers and I am between your favorites Maverick 88 TI and the Had Kore 93, wonder your comments
FWIW;, I am 63 and I really like these skis for California conditions. Get them short and I think you'll enjoy them. They are light, but very stable. Great for older knees. If you are a west coast, mostly soft snow skier these would be definitely good all-rounder that would be fine in all but the deepest/heaviest days. I'd want something narrower if you're spending a lot of time on icy conditions.
Hows this compared to atomic q9.8
Hey Elliott. How much do you think your size makes a difference in your experience with these skis? Do you agree with skiessentials that a lighter skier would struggle due to the stiffness of these skis? Thanks!
Sure you could say lighter, but I would just clarify that some light people can really load a ski up with their strength or dynamics. I think if you're strong enough to load a mindbender or m6 mantra, these shouldn't be a problem.
Elliot, have you tried the ripstick 96? I would be very interested to see where the core 93 stacks up to the ripstick 96. BTW, awesome videos, keep'em coming!!
New video dropping today!
Bob St. pierre on skiessentials gave the 2024 technical review. He said just slight cosmetics change. He owns rides the 2023
Bob has great taste!
Hi Elliott! Really enjoyed your videos! I am a midwest skier so snow is not great and the slopes are usually quite short, do you feel Kore 87 will fit better for my purpose than 93? Thanks in advance for your thoughts!!
Hard to say, Head said a while back they would send it, but I'm not sure currently.
@@RicketySkiReviews thanks for getting back to me! Looking forward to seeing your thoughts about 87!
Hi brother!! Nice review, as always!! I never thought about a 90+ width as a groomer capable tool. But after following you for a while, you convinced me to jump into the “wider range” of carving skis. I’ve been thinking between the Atomic Maverick 88ti and the Elan Wingman 86Ti. What do you think about the Elans? Any thing to have in mind? Are they good skis for advance skiers? Or will they be a bit soft?? Thanks for the work!!
What you should take in count about Elans is that they use the Amphibio profile, meaning there will be a ski for the left and right leg. The Elan Wingman series although marketed as an all mountain ski is more of a on-piste ski. An equivalent of Head Kore from Elan is the Ripstick series, that is what you should be looking at for a fair comparison.
I bought a pair of Wingmans...and I wasn't impressed. they had a speed limit and didn't perform as well as I was hoping they would. my Head V-10s were better!
I replaced them w/a pair of Volkl Kendos....and I love them...no speed limit...at least none that I have found yet and I got them to 57 MPH.
Ended up giving the Elan Wingmans to my Sister...she's a great skier but isn't a speed freak like her brother.
Thanks for the quick review. I, like your sister, don't like high speeds. I'm a technical skier but not a fast one...by any means. At lower speeds, how do they track? are they stable on edge when driving them around the apex of the turn? I put a lot of pressure on the front of the skis, but never at high speeds.@@keith2076
Thanks@@alltoone guess I lean more towards the on-piste first, all-mountain later side of the market...so the Elans seems like a solid fit, at least in that area.
getting them on-edge...the feel is "meh". They're just OK skis, not great, not bad. You should demo them first and let me know what you think. They can be had at a good price, and Ski Magazine used to rate them quite highly....but I was only luke warm on them. And god help you if you have them on the wrong feet, happened to me once and I could tell@@aguadoia
For a beginner who is able to get down blues would you suggest the kore 93s in 184 or elan ripsticks 96s in 180 as a first set of skis to for someone 6’3 225?
I've only skied the ripstick 96 black edition so check out that review, but for a beginner I think they would be more accessible. Typically I only give ski recommendations to paid members just fyi
Does anyone know if 2023 and 2024 model are different (in construction or material), except in the colour scheme?
Just a cosmetic change from 2023 to 2024
Turning - are yoy referring to Atomic Maverics 86 or 88ti?, thanks.
referring to 88ti
I’m really struggling with wich ski I should buy, I’m not a beginner but i can surely improve my technique. I ski everything pist and offpist I’m thinking about the head kore 93 or Qst 92 I’m 188cm average weight! What would you recommend to me? And again a great review! Keep it up
I bet you might really like the QST's would also recommending trying out the Fischer Rangers if you can!
Okay thanks i will do what width do you recommend?
whats higher score than this.
Would you believe I bought the 2021-22 Kore 93 (184 length) new for the 2022-23 season. I was absolutely LOVING this ski, until I dove into the powder & trees and lost 1. My 1st day out 12-9-22. I was a retard who didn't properly tighten my bindings 1st. I'm not as retarded now LOL! Searched over an hr no dice. Wasn't in lost & found in December 2023 either. A real bummer. I did however land my 2022-23 Stance 96s (182s) in Feb 2023 w/bindings for less than $550, Skiessentials Presidents day sale. I honestly don't know how I got them so cheap, for I've never seen them cheaper since, W/O bindings. I LOVE this ski, awesome crude cutter. Love your reviews!
I owned the Kore 99's a couple years ago and they were very good on groomers and good on crud but were too stiff for bumps. To be considered a great all mountain ski the ski should be reasonable on bumps. I'm usually not a groomed run skier and I ended up deciding that there were better options. Unless Head has softened their KORE skis, I'm still not interested.
Fair enough, you have to do what's best for you!
Elliot... pitting this Kore 93 with those Maverick 88's, which would be your ultimate choice?
That's a tough one, they both have great features. I would pick the Maverick, bc I value its precision and off trail diversity, but I think the turning diversity and on trail performance leans a little bit in the Kore 93s favor.
@@RicketySkiReviews Cool. Thanks for the perspective.
Follow up question: Are the QST line of skis covering the off-piste emphasis about as much as the Maverick and Kore are covering the on-piste emphasis? In my view, both these categories are a bit of a double-duty. Make sense? Or disagree?
Kore 93 or Qst 92? Hard for me to make the choice. Any suggestions? Advance skier ski in Whistler bc
Honestly both great options, would probably go QST in BC just because of flotation and ski treeing, but if you really prioritize carving the Kores rule.
Demo the Core 93 at Coastal Creekside
So this one or Maverick 95TI do you like more?
Oh that's tough, I think it just depends where you spend your time off trail I would lean maverick slightly, on trail kore 93, Great question!
Which do you like better for all mountain, the QST 98 or the Maverick 100 or these Head skis?
It totally just depends on the conditions, an average day the Kore's, a powder day the maverick 100's are gonna sweep
@RicketySkiReviews I decided on the QST 98. seems those & the Maverick 100 you can't go wrong. Thanks
What about length: how tall are you? Video looks like the 177 comes to middle of your forehead?
6'1" or 185cms, the video can be a bit misleading, just because I held them at an angle so the camera could pick them up at night.
Well, well, well… you like the Kore 93 even more than the Draco Freebird from Black Crows. This will be a very interesting year for you. I wonder what Zach would think of the ski? I hope my “Speed Dating” concept gave you some ideas. The Kore 93 looked solid while carving… no chatter or bouncing. You should do a video on the difference between a SPORT CARVING ski like Atomic Redster X9S and ALL MOUNTAIN ski like the Kore 93 or QST 92. Well done Elliott 😊
I hope you subscribed to my channel 😊⛷
It's a great idea the problem is that on our mountain the good skiing is accessed via cat tracks so getting there and then going back to the car to swap isn't realistic . But great idea will save it for later
I just ordered these with bindings on L9 Sports for $381.50
Woah great find!
What a deal, unfortunately they don't have my size!
Head core 93 is a good ski , very solid. QST is terrible in the trees and moguls ..
any run off piste that is skied alot turns into a mogul run.. QST is terrible in the moguls ..
Head core 93 way out performed the QST.. the shovel of the QST is just weird .. great review
The QST seems to only like 1 particular S shape when skiing , the head core you can do any S.. short or long ..
agree to disagree, but can totally see how people wouldn't connect with the QST. Totally agree about the Kore series.
I’m a little surprised you said they crush poor off piste conditions. This may just be a skier skill issue, but I found they were easily deflected when skiing in poor spring conditions. I attributed it to the lightness and my opinion was that they were light stiff skis that were fun when conditions were “good” (ie corn, groomers, etc.), but as soon as there were little chunks of variable conditions, like ice chunks in otherwise sun softened snow or heavier slop, they felt significantly worse than heavier skis that share the same stiffness profiles. Literally have never been less happy on a pair of skis when I ended up in refrozen crud on a demo day.
I know ski preference is insanely subjective, but just need a bit of a sanity check: in poor conditions, you find that the kore performs as well or better than its heavier alternatives?
For context, I ride on on3p woodsman 96 most days like that, and I demoed the kore 93 next to an enforcer, m pro 91 and bonafides.
I've got both this ski and the Bonafides. The Heads will always come second in comparison to the Bonafides in crap conditions, or frankly any ski with as much metal and weight. Bonafides will just crush everything in their way. I think you have to take it in context, for such a light, carveable ski, the Heads do pretty well in the cut up stuff.
You also have to consider he skis in Idaho, crud there is very different than elsewhere.
I was right!!
My biggest complaint on them is usually on icy bumps. They feel a bit light and pingy in those areas but Im really heavy. The shape keeps them compliant enough, but they chatter. That said, my Kore 105 might be my best floating ski. I'm not sure there is a better ski for making airborne turns in a couple inches of fresh. (Topsheet) durability is bad and they keep trying to change it a bit to make it better.
Totally, great suggestion
Im thinking between Fischer 90 and this one…. Not sure which one to buy.
Similar overall, but weirdly different skis, but both great options. Fischer Ranger has easy turn initiation, this one is a bit more "load up the ski and then it catches " if that makes any sense.
@@RicketySkiReviews I just bought the Fischer 90, lets hope they are good. 😂 I will get em in 3 days I will write my opinion about them, when I tested them.
@@RicketySkiReviews okay so I tested the Fischer 90 rocker now… omg I freaking love them they are so nice. This is the best ski I have ever skied in my hole life. It is perfect for everything on the groomer. I am so happy I found your channel und listened to your advice, thank you so much! ❤️
What length of ski do you recommend if you are 183?
just depends, I'm around that height and I ski a 176 for carving, and 182 for powder, but some people like a bit longer, where I ski we have tight trees and brush, so it just depends on where you're taking it and what you're doing, I have a whole video on it that you might find helpful: ruclips.net/video/7qVzuD3BHiw/видео.htmlsi=YJp7sOH9PzpWs4P5
@@RicketySkiReviews Thanks, I meant specifically at the Head Kore 93 ski, which is the best length to buy.
I want to demo some of the kore lineup
I was really surprised by how much I liked them, they're kind of unassuming.
@@RicketySkiReviews I wish they looked a little cooler, like you said they are pretty unassuming, don't stick out much
PLEASE REVIEW FATTER SKIS
I'm trying but the weather doesn't want to cooperate. I have a pair of Salomon QST 106's I bought just sitting waiting to be skied on and reviewed.
I feel like a douche for having bought Stormriders. Should have bought the Kores! I’m on the East Coast…
I bet you'll love the Stormriders. I had a pair back east, and had I stayed east I might still have them.
I'm on the East Coast and have 2023 Stormrider 95s - they are OK, but I need to use my race boots with them as the stiff tips throw you about in the chopped up sugar we have now. Also, the earlier Stormriders had a wider tip - the 2023 ones are only 123mm for a 184 and I prefer the older ones I tried - they were 132mm
