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.

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.

These ski is super fun. They are light, tour like a breeze and then float playfully all the way down. I've skied them a wide variety of conditions from deep powder to breakable crust and generally felt quite confident. On resort they can feel a bit light in chunky snow and you need to stomp on them, but the aggression pays off. Highly recommend this ski.

I have skiied these since last January in bottomless powder, heavy powder, corn, variable snow, breakable crust, and at the resort a few times. As expected these sticks in powder are a skier's nirvana. I added them as my second AT ski (other is a 78 underfoot spring/rando ski) expecting to round out my quiver with a 90s underfoot stiffer ski for variable conditions. At this point I have taken the HyperV8s through enough crud and crusty snow to be pleasantly surprised with how they ski in less than great conditions so I won't be getting a third set for now. Because of their low weight I can swing them around when needed and they push through crap well enough for me. The uphill is a breeze, sure there is a bit more drag with the larger surface area, but their weight to surface ratio is mind blowing. Lastly, I have been presently surprised by the durability so far. I have bumped them into enough crap and been a bit worried about delaming with how lightweight they are built, but after a few dozen days I'm no longer worried about their durability.

I demoed these skis this week and absolutely love them. They are light on the uphill and surfed on the downhill. I felt they handle any crust I ran into with ease, inspiring confidence to charge the slope. I would definitely recommend.
