CORE Carbon 84 Lite Ski - 2026

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The CORE Carbon 84 Lite is ideal for those seeking a versatile, lightweight touring ski. It’s impressively nimble for steep terrain and tight turns, and the light construction makes high-vertical days easier. Plus, it’s stable enough to handle mixed snow conditions—perfect for backcountry and piste skiing alike."

Who It’s For

Lightweight Ski Tourers and Technical Climbers:

Designed for lighter skiers and uphill-focused adventurers, this ski is perfect for those who prioritize efficiency on long ascents but still want stability and control on descents. It suits backcountry explorers, ski mountaineers, and anyone needing a lightweight, versatile daily touring ski.

What It’s For

Long Tours and Steep Technical Terrain:

At 84mm underfoot with a rocker-camber-rocker profile, the CORE Carbon 84 Lite thrives on steep couloirs, hardpack exits, and mixed snow. Its featherweight construction makes high-vertical missions approachable, while the rockered tip adds float and forgiveness when conditions get softer.

Why We Like It

Featherweight Efficiency with Downhill Stability:

We like how the CORE Carbon 84 Lite blends ultralight touring efficiency with surprising downhill performance. The karuba wood core and carbon layup keep weight to a minimum, while fiberglass and steel edges ensure stability and edge grip when the line gets technical. It’s one of those skis that doesn’t just climb well—it feels confident and capable when it’s time to descend.
