Lighten up ;)
Don’t get us wrong. We enjoy some “type II fun” just as much as the next masochist. But, fun doesn’t always have to be a near death experience. Which is why we’ve gone back to the drawing board on one of our most popular ski designs. Our goal? Shed some serious weight.
Introducing the Voile Hyper V6 BC.
A super light, paulownia wood, core and twice the amount of carbon fiber provide the weight savings. But, that’s just half the battle. A Voilé ski must be durable too. So, we added re-enforcement to the mountings areas. Even with the 13%-15% weight savings, you still get the downhill performance of our original Voile V6 BC. It’s quick to rise, even in the lightest powder—thanks to the tapered shape and Voilé Hybrid Rocker profile. The tight turning radius and shorter running length allows effortless transfer from edge-to-edge but won’t leave you puckered when holding an edge is critical. So go ahead, have some fun and remember: you can always go for a couple more laps, if you need more punishment.

SPECS
The width and radius of Voile skis differ from one length to another, so as to deliver uniform performance across the entire size range. Weights may vary slightly from one pair to another due to environmental factors, and by nature of the fact that they are made by hand.

Voile Hybrid Rocker
An intuitive, surf-like turn personality makes this a very easy ski to operate. Playful and responsive, with a turn radius on the tighter side. This ski is characterised as relaxed and easy-going.
Tip: Hybrid rocker tip and wide shovel provide unmatched float in powder.
Waist: Shorter running length with extended contact points. Engineered for agility. Cambered underfoot for stability.
Tail: Tapered hybrid rocker tail for smooth maneuverability in variable conditions.
Hyper Series BC
Full Cap / Paulownia / Double Carbon / Traction Pattern Base
Ultralight paulownia construction that shaves nearly a pound per pair for easier ascents.
Traction Pattern "BC" scalebase has been included underfoot to allow for fewer transitions when traversing rolling terrain.
Anti-Ice Topsheet
Crafted from exceptionally durable polyamide material, and designed with a unique texture that effectively reduces the accumulation of snow and ice. This innovative feature is particularly beneficial during long approaches or in freezing conditions, where snow and ice buildup would normally hinder performance.
Paulownia Wood Core
Renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, this paulownia delivers a combination of durability and featherlight agility. It's the ideal foundation for constructing ultralight touring skis, making it the perfect choice for backcountry enthusiasts seeking maximum efficiency and agility on their mountain adventures.
Voile Carbon-Weave x2
Two layers of Voile Carbon-Weave combine the lightweight strength of carbon fiber with the durability of triaxial fiberglass. The strategic integration of carbon fiber into the ski's construction reduces the weight while providing the perfect blend of responsiveness, stability, and energy transfer, allowing skiers to maneuver with precision and control.
Triaxial Fiberglass
Triaxial fiberglass increases dimensional stability along three axis, providing for balanced torsional stiffness and enhancing your ability to control the ski (precise and firm edge grip). Triaxial fiberglass maintains a consistent flex pattern throughout the ski, ensuring predictable performance across different snow conditions and skiing styles.
Full-Contact Steel Edge
Steel edges provide superior grip and control on hardpacked snow and icy conditions, enhancing stability and confidence while skiing. Two lengths of hardened steel with inset teeth wrap the perimeter of this ski. Each section is painstakingly shaped by hand to ensure a precise layup.
Sintered Black Base
This ski passes on the base graphics for the sake of an ultra-high molecular density base; making for faster downhill performance and greater wear/impact resistance. And you can rest assured that your p-tex repairs will be seamless after your day spent breaking the sound barrier.
Traction Pattern Base
For the backcountry skier who makes long approaches over rolling terrain, scaled base reduces the climbing skin transitions necessary to make it to their summit... perhaps negating the need for climbing skins entirely! The "scale base" underfoot creates friction against the snow surface when the ski is decambered, and then glides with the skier's forward stride.

I bought this ski with the intention of using in more rolling terrain. For this use, the Hyper V6 BC excels. What I like includes: good uphill ability without skins but skins are required for steeper or gnarly up hill travel; great fore/aft balance while climbing; good edge control while climbing on sidehills; faster on fish scales than on skins; decent response and control for DH on hardpack or wind blown snow; responsive in trees on hard snow and skis well in shallow powder. I haven't had the chance to ski these in powder. What I found annoying: the skis (fish scales) are LOUD with DH hard snow but not so much on powder (makes sense); DH is slower than skis without scales so the glide on relative flats is reduced; and you can't ski backwards, even a little, which can complicate maneuvering in some situations. The annoying issues for the Hyper V6 are the trade-offs of using a fish scale ski. But they sure are convenient in undulating terrain. Due to lightness of the skis and my boots (Scarpa F1 XT), the skis have a speed limit but they do OK at moderate and slow speed. I'm on a 178 length and I weigh about 165. I will probably use my QST Echo 106 and heavier boots when the day's objective is doing turns in terrain that is not undulating; however, I could have fun on these conditions with the V6.

Oh boy these are so fun & on the right terrain they are the one rig to rule them all. With the traction bases can go up slopes within reach of my Dynafit middle heel lifts. On the down in soft snow they feel like my beloved flat base V6 skis which means very happy feet. They are easy to ski on hard snow but will drag & hum. Got some local rolling terrain out the door and a closed forgotten ski area up the road that now feel like private ski terrain. Sweet Melissa saw how fun they were & we picked out her pair today 😁

This is by far the best backcountry ski have have ever skied. Every ski backcountry ski should have a traction base! Having the traction base has totally changed the way I look at ski touring. Long approaches are are a breeze. The only thing that would be better for me is a wider and longer option.

This Hyper V6 BC is a jack of all trades! I've tried so many different brands and types of skis, I probably should be a professional ski tester. This ski is smooth and user friendly, and handles all terrain, on the uptrack as well as the downhill. Also a unique product, I don't know of any other company that makes something remotely comparable. Its important applications have already been listed by others, so I'll add one more novel use - teaching skiing to small children - I can actually tow my grandkids uphill short distances, then turn them loose! I can also get back uphill to pick them up when they crash above me. I've also used these for cross country skiing, on bad snow that skinny cross country skis would lack stability. You never have to worry about wearing the traction base completely flat, because it goes deeper into the ski than the metal edges. I've used and abused several of these babies, and will probably be getting another pair soon.

I spent years dreaming about someone making a traverse ski like this, one that could do it all for steep mountain skiing, flatland, and rolling hills.... as soon as I heard Voile created just that I bought the V6s and I will never look back. They are the perfect ski for long trek touring. They are incredibly light yet still flow beautifully and solidly underfoot, and they are sharp looking too. Not to mention great customer service from Voile. Get them!
