Just checking in on why there is little to no mention of the Kore series on here? It's not a ski that I'm at all interested in, but similar skis get way more love on here. What's your take on them?

They are sick skis, but a lot of it is culture and marketing. Brands like fischer, head and a couple others appeal more to older demographics. Of the ones that have come into my shop 90% of them came from someone 40+ years old.

they are pretty sick

Everything about them from the graphics, the name, the fact that I can't name more than 5 freeskiers that head sponsors, pretty much add up to me never buying those skis because I would rather support people who give a shit about this community. My brother who works in a shop has a pair and they just kinda look like a cheap walmart ski. I'm sure they're fine, but there are just so many better options

looks like he is mounted pretty close to center in those insta videos. Everything I read about them was saying a rec mount point of like 11cm back and that is not very newschoolery IMO. Does anyone that is not response by head have any experience with riding these center mounted?

I've seen a good number fall apart just from regular use by average skiers

I like the idea of it as a backcountry ski because of its weight and it has good reviews. I'd rather support more freestyle oriented brands and also i like my twin tippers
