One of the best sellers among expert skiers looking to lighten the load without suffering a loss of edgehold or precision, the Head Kore 99 Skis are a definitive example of how to build skis that punch above their weight. These versatile all mountain performers are wide enough to handle an overnight dump of fresh, powerful and confident on edge, and quick to respond in tight quarters - just a few reasons why the Kore 99s have built up a loyal following.
Tip / Tail Rocker – Subtle rocker in the tip and tail; camber underfoot.
Karuba / Poplar Lightweight Wood Core – Utilizing karuba wood in the core gives you the perfect balance of density, durability, and weight.
Graphene – Graphene is the strongest, lightest material known to man. Integrating Graphene into the construction of the ski has two essential benefits: a reduction in weight and an increase in performance.
Topless Tech – The topsheet surface is replaced with a Polyester Fleece to reduce weight.
Rubber Foil dampening layer over edges
Multilayer-Carbon Sandwich Cap Construction – Developed from the most sophisticated materials known to man: the Super Light Sandwich Construction makes up one of the world’s lightest freeride skis by utilizing Graphene, two different carbon layers, as well as replacing the surface with a polyester fleece. The ultimate construction for a high performing freeride ski
Structured UHM C Base – The same high quality material used in Head's world-leading race skis is used here. Different structured running base for all conditions.
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.

When it comes to tech bindings you can use for daily skiing, the Marker Kingpin 13 Alpine Touring Ski Bindings still rule the roost. Light enough for adventurous touring but tough enough to slap on your daily drivers, the Kingpin 13 simply gets the job done with a weight of only 758 grams per foot. In addition, the power transmission with the spring-loaded Kingpin heel unit is a an improvement you'll feel over the traditional twin-pin tech heel connection. A favorite of hard charging backcountry types and working snow professionals. *Please Note: These bindings have updated toe pieces from Marker and are not affected by the August, 2018 recall.*
Kingpin Toe – The PinTech design on the KingPin toe piece promotes an ergonomic rolling up the foot and the most direct possible connection to the ski. Six steel springs capture the energy optimally, up to a DIN setting of 13. Individually adjustable positioning blocks make it quick and easy to step in no matter what the conditions.
Updated Toe – These bindings have updated toe pieces from Marker and are not affected by the August, 2018 recall.
Kingpin Heel – The revolutionary heel construction for the PinTech bindings features wide sole contact points to deliver the kind of direct, lossless power transfer more frequently seen in alpine bindings.
Kingpin Climbing Aid | 0° / 7° / 13° – Good climbing aids have one thing in common: Whatever the situation, they can be operated by feel, even when the skier can't see them clearly. Simplicity is a virtue here, and reduced exertion is even better. The KINGPIN wins hearts and minds through two integrated climbing aids (7° and 13°) that are easily deployed or stowed using the basket of the pole. They can also be operated conveniently using the tip of the pole, allowing them to work with any basket style. Because the climbing aids are positioned in the upper center of the heel piece, they are always easy to reach.
Walk / Ski Modes – The refined locking/unlocking procedure for the heel piece is part of the binding's charm. It takes just one step to switch from walk to ski mode: Simply flip a lever, push down on the heel and you're good to go. The mechanism works even in critical situations and challenging descents.
One Size Fits All – Boots with tech toe fittings are required.
TÜV Certified to ISO/DIN 13992:2007 – The Marker Kingpin is one of only a few tech touring bindings to have passed the ISO/DIN 13992 standard.

Sure, cutting ten thousand switchbacks up a refrozen sheet of ice is fun, but we all know that the real reason we all ski tour is for the way down. That's not to say you want gear that slouches on uphill performance, but if your boots makes the ski down any less fun, than what's really the point? Luckily, we have access to gear like the K2 Mindbender 120 Alpine Touring Ski Boots. Deigned to be super lightweight, with an effective and intuitive walk mode, these boots are money on the skin track. But the real value here is that when you lock them down, you're riding a full speed alpine freeride boot. They have a stiff flex, they're responsive and bomber, and they inspire confidence on the most aggressive of backcountry descents. For a freeride skier looking for one boot to do it all, the Mindbender 120 is hard to beat.

Last: 98 mm – A narrow last designed for utmost precision and/or lower volume feet.
Fully Heat Moldable
Flex: 120 – A stiff flex designed for expert or heavier skiers.
PrecisionFit Pro Tour – Laceable, pre molded and lasted with Ultralon heat moldable foams. Features an asymmetric tongue, a medium density collar & foam package with a flex notch for increased range of motion while hiking.
PowerLite Shell – The shell is purpose-built to result in the best skiing, lightest weight boots ever produced. Made with four different stiffnesses of TPU and optimized wall thickness profiling, the Powerlite Shell achieves a paradoxical balance of lightweight agility and power. The resulting boots weigh in as some of the lightest alpine and freeride on the market, yet they ski with all the power and drive of heavier boots.
Powerlock Spyne – A rear co-injected "Y" shaped support that adds strength and power in order to maximize fore/aft flex efficiency and lateral stiffness for responsiveness in every type of terrain.
