SKU: 5801 Voile Hyper V6 Skis

I got these as replacements for Fischer Transalps. Found those caught the tail quite aggressively on fresh snow and failed to float well. These are almost as light, but the rocker tip/tail and penguin shape tail solve both hang ups. I live in NH and they’re not amazing for hard snow, but still predictable and grippy. Just some noise feedback given the lack of mass, but fully expected. The hold an edge as hood as one could hope for such a light ski. Once on deeper snow, it really comes to life and provides surfy, smooth turns!

I skied the original V6 for years and as I got into ski Mountaineering and then guiding, tried out a bunch of the backcountry big name brands DPS, Blizzard, Blackcrows, etc. This season I went back back to Voile because I had such good memories of the V6. I picked up a hyper V6 and on the first turn I knew I made the right call. A smile split my face and never left, every turn on the V6 is just fun. I love how much bounce and playfulness the ski has. The more l centered mounting point, fits my skiing style and makes tight hop turns a breeze. This ski works really well for me. I’m 5’9”, 160# am a fairly hard charging skier, and the 183 has always been my go to length for this ski.

My friend let me try his at a resort about 3 years ago, I took them for a few runs at the end of the day. I drove down the canyon and bought a pair. I think they are a perfect balance of light, easy to ski and still fun - they still pop. Outside of early season it is my only ski and I don't have any plans to get anything else, it is just a fun ski that I am excited to ski when I have to get up early... The topsheet was a little tail damaged but that was from bouncing around a friends rocket box, other than that no ski damage even after hitting some rocks. Truthfully I'm surprised it has held up this well being how light it is.

Coming from always skiing on skinny “ racing “ skis I absolutely fall in love with V6 ! Didn’t notice significant weight on my legs for climbing those hills but definitely noticed more fun on the downhills! Super fun skis very playable and easy to fall in love with! They flow amazingly in deep pow but staying pretty aggressive in the edges as well! Very well balanced ski for skiing all around! Awesome job Voilé! And massive thank you for everything!

Bought these last year but finally got them out for the first tour. With some speed turns mounted on them, they climbed like a dream. So light. Suuuper fun on the downhill as well. One thing I would note is the mounting point, which was much further forward than expected. I was concerned they would ski a little weird but I actually found the mount point to work great for me. That said, kick turns with all that extra tail are a little tougher. Definitely worth it though.

owned a few skis over the last 40 years and I would say this is the best all around performer yet -it floats beautifully in powder and even en piste for such a light ski - the carbon provides a nice snap and short turning radius

I owned the V6 BC and loved it. The Hyper is just a new level though. I did make the switch from telemark to AT at the same time, but the difference in weight is unreal. I am noticeably stronger on the climbs compared to my friends than I used to be. The descents are as great as ever. Poppy, effortless quick turns in the tightest trees, cuts through wind crust, float is everything I need it to be for Colorado. The best weight to float ratio you can buy. Just what this old man needed to keep up with my fast friends!

For those looking for a quick synopsis I'll say this is the best touring ski I've ever owned. It will do it all, and well. It wants to ski so make sure you get one more lap in. Diving a little deeper, I'll break this ski into three categories. Uphill, downhill, and features. I'm 6'3" and weigh ~180 lbs. I've been using the 183s along the Wasatch and Teton Ranges. Uphill: Coming in at 6lbs 3oz this is a light ski. Granted, it's not the lightest ski you can find on the market, but we're trying to have fun on the downhills. The Hyper V6 has a beautiful balance between weight and performance. The weight makes uphill travel a breeze leaving you plenty of time and energy for a 2nd, 3rd, 4th...etc lap. The ski fits in all skin tracks no problem but you'll probably be making your own. Downhill: The Hyper V6 has a larger tip with a narrower waist. The wide shovel makes the ski a blast in the powder, while the waist allows for delicate edge control in those steep wind scowered chutes. The shorter turning radius really shows as well, making the transition from edge to edge seemless. The stiffness of the ski makes it handle all snow conditions, however being a carbon ski you'll really have to fight for control in the heavier snows and crusts still. I never thought I could have this much fun on a carbon ski. Features: The top of the skiis never ice up. I don't know about others but I really appreciate that. I've had previous skiis that carried an extra 2 lbs of ice and snow on top. The ski has a full metal edge. Other skiis I've used have thinned down edges that are easily broken and seeming ineffective. The Hyper V6s edge is thick and ready to rip. Over all I look forward to riding this ski everyday. I can't wait to test it further and push its limits. If you're looking for a full quiver back country ski, this is it. Your quest ends here.

This is my go-to ski. Just about as perfect as it gets imho. And I've tried almost every ski Voile makes, and many other brands. V6 rides all snow conditions, with little special effort. I have these and the BC version. Bought them for wife and son as well. Good times!

This is a very fun and lively ski. If you like to play in the powder, bounce around pop up and down this is the ski for you! I do find myself getting thrown front seat and I may try to remount them slightly back form center next time. Im not sure if the factory center is too far front, or if they simply messed up where I got them mounted but worth looking in to. If it gets steep and firm this ski can hold its own too. Easy on the skin up... this is my every day powder touring ski! Its hard to believe this ski has carbon in it. It is extremely light weight but have noticed almost no downhill performance loss after switching from the standard V6. Volie has done something right with their light weight builds!

Coming from the Helio 105, I was a bit worried about these not having enough float. I was definitely worried for nothing. Last year was a big snow year in the Wasatch and I put over 50 days on the Hyper V6 in all conditions without ever feeling like I needed more ski. The best part? These are both more durable and more lightweight than other skis in its class and I skied several days with over 10,000’ of vert without being completely wrecked. These skis are pretty incredible and I’m looking forward to more days on them this season.

The combination of Hybrid Rocker, smooth flex and light weight make the Hyper V6 a soft snow touring machine. Whether it is pow soft of corn soft, the ski has a soulful surfy feel that inspires confidence along with a large dose of fun. The Hyper V6 is easily driven in a variety of turn sizes. It's naturally tight radius can fire of some great small turns, but don't be afraid to open it up and let them run with some higher speed large radius turns. For this reason I really enjoy skiing them in trees while constantly varying turn size and shape. The ski's smooth flex will happily eat up whatever terrain is thrown their way. You can't go wrong with any skis in the V6 family.
