Thumbnail Filmstrip of Voile Hyper V6 BC Skis Images
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.

JUSTIN BROWN
Bought these skis a week or two ago for my wife. She is an intermediate skier that does not like the fuss of skin changes. When we go skiing it is pretty casual rolling hills anyhow so I gave these a go. First off she loves them. In her words, "These skis do what I want, my other ones just wanted to make big turns" \n\nToday I tried em out on a 8 mile )Total tour in 2-6 inches of fresh snow with some parts wind effected portions. The uphill was expected, I could not go nearly as steep as with skins but with a couple extra switch backs really not a big deal. THere were some log crossing that I attributed to getting some sap or something on the bottom of the ski. Sort of worked like XC wax ( bonus). After a couple miles i figured out the stride and was able to enjoy them. But let me tell you about the downhill. I am 5'6" 140 lbs. Historically Ski more than 100 days a year and usually ride similar with or larger skis that are 177 cm. I didnt ski anything hard charging but this little ski performed as well or better than almost any ski I have ridden in the backcountry in veriable snow. The only ski that rode better would be my Volkl Ones. At 8.5#/pair without bindings and full rocker they better ski better. But the Hyper V6 was light and easy to use on the way up and floated powder and didn't catch a single tail on the wind crust. 10/10 would recommend. I need me a pair

I have had these skis for several years now. I got them for skiing powder in glades in Vermont and I have had many opportunities to validate that these are the perfect skis. Turny and responsive. But also, I have used them for lift served, last season at Steamboat, and for the weight and width, they performed amazingly well. BC quiver of one.
