Outdoor Retailer Snow Show 2019 – Part 2 – Kate’s World

We have so much coverage from this year’s Outdoor Retailer Snow Show, that we are breaking it into two parts.  Kate Agathon and photographer Will Snyder met with tons of companies, met lots of amazing athletes and even attended political meetings.  Pretty awesome stuff!  Below is the skiing gear they covered.

HEAD

For 19/20 HEAD expands the KORE line to a woman-specific freeride ski. Available in 99W and 93W, the incredibly lightweight ski is constructed with graphene-KOROYD- carbon sandwich cap construction, KARUBA lightweight wood core, and is perfect for the woman who wants a higher performing ski to do both touring and in bounds.
