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.
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. 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
Full Cap / Paulownia / Double Carbon
Ultralight paulownia construction that shaves nearly a pound per pair for easier ascents.
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.

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. \n\nDiving 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. \n\nUphill: 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. \n\nDownhill: 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. \n\nFeatures: 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. \n\nOver 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!
