Local Since 1980<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Voile skis are made in Utah and have been since day one. We started making backcountry equipment in 1980 right here in Salt Lake City with the Wasatch Mountains as our backdrop and R&D field. In a highly globalized production world, many companies outsource manufacturing overseas for cheap labor. The 98 percent of Voile products are made in the Salt Lake valley. This includes splitboards<\/a>, skis<\/a>, tele bindings<\/a>, and the world-renown Voile Straps.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By keeping production local we maintain complete control over our products’ manufacturing processes. This ensures the quality of their craftsmanship and performance. It also gives us the flexibility to make changes on the fly, prototyping new designs to be tested right in our backyard. We are gearheads and tool geeks who are passionate about innovating and iterating to create an “even better” product. Backcountry equipment made in Utah by skiers, for skiers (or splitboarders if that\u2019s your jam).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Production <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Our facilities are buzzing with activity. Our team stays busy curating award-winning ski designs. Meanwhile massive dies stamp broad sheets of metal into shovel blades and telemark toe pieces. Steel edges are sawn and meticulously bent to shape, while a wood core and our proprietary carbon fiber are laid up in cassettes and loaded onto the press. The production team is relatively small, 31 dedicated employees who you very well might run into on the skin track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
