Thanks To HEAD Skis for sending these out for me to review. Cheers.

Good review! Your energy at the start was great, I was thinking these were going to get a 10 for a minute. Im glad you are honest about the drawbacks and even go into the gritty detail why you think so! These skis are definitely at the top of my try list when I get out west. Are the graphics on these the 24/25 model? I like them more than the solid color ones.

Great review. 👍 loving the content.

I didn't ski these skis but I skied the Head Kore 99s and your review of these skis was my experience with the 99s.. I did talk to people who were on the 105s and they told me that they were more damp than the 99s but it doesn't sound like it..

I was to write it a long time ago. I am no one, but I love your ski reviews and would like your channel to grow and ski companies send you equipment so that you could make those great, honest reviews for us.

I skied these this entire season. I have to say for once., I agree with just about every word you said. I had some really good times With these off trail at solitude. On trail I found them to have a real problem with any groomers that werent completely soft. On hard pack they were rough most of the time. I did find that if you got your speed up and really let the ski hook in it, you could sometimes be o k on the firmer groomer. But you really had to be moving first. It is not easy to bend these skies. I really could only do it when I was applying max force. I am a relatively small guy. However i'm stronger than most for my size. I think most people really would struggle with these if trying to ski them properly. Off trail I really enjoyed these. The Lack of weight made them pretty easy to maneuver in tight spaces. I also found them pretty decent in the bumps for the width and stiffness. But overall they just really didn't work for me. I'm on the east coast. The offtrail skiing is just not frequent enough and too tight for something this wide. Just bought a Qst 99! Loved my 92.

Ricky's neighbors must think he's a huge weirdo for going out under the jungle gym fort every day and talking to himself and his skis.

My time on the Kore 99 made me wish for the 93 or 105. Both have better tip and tail shapes for their intended purpose. Many say oh their good for intermediates or lighter skiers...If you just cruise sure but you wont ever bend them, to get the most out of a Kore you need to ski the crap out of it and have some mass. Then their is the snow feel or often lack their of and that stiffness again in bad snow. My summary is Head loose a layer of carbon, go back to metal and back off on the flex a bit and this would be a much better and more consistently performing ski. I dropped my Kore after 6 days for a 2024 Blizzard Rustler 9. Bit less top end, way more composure for only an extra 100g, better snow feel and pow performance and still carves a beautiful turn.

Is this ski the same underneath as the Kore 105 you previously reviewed and didn't particularly care for (compared to the Kore 93)?

I've heard Atomic has made some major changes to how they make the entire Bent line. Would love to hear thoughts on the new no-metal, no-carbon idea, worried they've ruined a good thing....

After most mountains close for the season, are you and/or Zach going to head out to Mammoth? I hope you do. There are a few demo shop options that are convenient to switch out skis during the day. Keep the content going into late June

Isn't that the 2025 model? The 2024 is dark green.

Johnklaus9111 is mocking you -- but i'm not --- Time to work on your powder technique -- You're very much an ex-ski racer who spent too much time racing and not enough free skiing. I've seen a pattern in what skis you like and why, and it tracks... I can see from your videos you ski very 1 footed and forwards.. Top racers would do a better job of matching the inside ski to the outer, but they would still be as 1 footed and forwards. Nothing wrong with that, that's what wins races. I won't even get into the different amounts of carving, slarving, smearing, and rotary steering vs edge angle various skiers develop due to personal style and preferred discipline. Those of us who never raced and learned how to ski moguls and powder on 1980s skis learned a different style. It required a much more knees together two footed stance and centered balance instead of forwards, and constant 3D adjustments (fore/aft, inside/outside, up/down) to balance at the knees and hips instead of the micro adjustments at the knees, ankles, and toes I do while carving. Some skis (eg park and twin tips and some powder skis) ski better with that technique, others ski better the way you ski.... It's pretty cool to hear and notice that many of your complaints about skis come down to that difference in ski design and skier techniques. IE When both my feet and my entire lower body forms 1 platform, the skis can't get hung up in snow because they're too light because my whole body momentum is driving them.

Oh no. We need to work on your powder technique. I honestly didn't learn anything about this ski from this video. I did ski the e-rally and I can say that it would have been a terrible powder ski. The head kore is supposed to be all-mountain? it's not? 😂😂😂 I didn't like the carving on the e-rally either, but not sure what was driving that. I'm not sold on the carbon stringers solution. I just think lighter and less stiff is worse. but I am a NE skier and it's hard to say that doesn't impact my opinion. 😅

Is it lighter than the Bent 110?
