Thumbnail Filmstrip of Voile Hyper V8 Skis - Discontinued Graphic Images
How do you improve on an award-hogging ski design?
You make it lighter.
Introducing the Voile Hyper V8. The beloved shape and camber profile remain unchanged, but the rest of the ski has been overhauled. Starting with the core, we switched to paulownia wood from aspen. We’ve doubled the amount of carbon fiber and re-enforced the binding mounts to account for the lighter core. Finally, it’s all wrapped up in a sharp new graphic made from the most durable and snow/ice-phobic topsheet material we use.
You still get the irony-filled performance of the original Voile V8: Brawny, yet agile—fat, but featherweight. It has the width to float the deepest powder—yet remains quick edge-to-edge for all those non-powder days. It maintains a high fun-factor even in less than perfect conditions. It’s all of those things—just much lighter.
The Hyper V8 is a culmination of little changes to create a brand new award-winning high-performance ski. Same… but different… and still awesome.

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 have owned the Hyper V8 for seven years now. It has been used in every backcountry/tour conditions. There has never been a day of skiing that I finished where I wished I had a different pair of skis. With about 50 days of travel per year, they still perform. All of my touring partners have turned to the Hyper V8 because of the observed performance. Thanks Voile!

I was blown away at how well a huge hyper light ski could ski so well on the way down. I've always been skeptical of super light skis until now with these. The long size of 193cm is very nice for the big open faces I ski in Alaska but they turn right around the tight trees too. For the super deep powder days this is the new ski I grab and they put a big smile on my face.

Very floaty, surfy feeling - super fun in powder. Great ski for BC or resort. Similar shape and rocker to the very popular Rosi Super 7, but much, much lighter! Amazing how light the Hyper V8 is for its size. The only down side to this ski, is it won't always fit in the skin track, too wide for that.

I was hesitant that the weight savings on these compared to my old V8's would mean reduced performance in icy and crusty conditions. These things are just as stiff and strong in mixed conditions yet are easier to throw around. Moral of the story: V8's are awesome BC skis and the Hyper V8 really does shed some weight without the slightest sacrifice of performance. I don't know how Voile did it, but I'm truly impressed.

If you want to ski soft snow, big lines, and tour far to go get the goods, these are the ski for you. I'm on the big 193s, and it's amazing how light these planks are for their size. They feel stable in big wide open turns above treeline, and are nimble and responsive when picking a tight line through the alders to get back to the trailhead. \nBig dudes; rejoice! I'm 6'4", 260# without gear and these things punch way above their weight class. They're a dream to ski, and never feel underpowered like other lightweight touring skis I've tried.
