Thumbnail Filmstrip of Voile HyperDrifter Skis - Discontinued Graphic Images
Return of the King.
More than fourteen seasons ago, the Voile Drifter wrote a new chapter in backcountry ski lore. The legends tell of mile deep powder fields and a ski that floated elegantly through Ullr’s greatest shows of power. What’s known for certain is that its progressive shape and early-rise tip laid the groundwork for our most widely acclaimed skis to-date, including both the SuperCharger and the V8.
Now we’re paying homage to the FAT ski that started it all. Introducing the Voile HyperDrifter. It boasts a mighty shovel, our early-rise camber profile, and a long running length in our ultra-lightweight paulownia and carbon-weave construction. These all contribute to its astonishing capability when breaking trail, and — along with its impressive overall width — make the experienced backcountry skier’s deepest powder dreams come true.

Early Rise Camber
A directional, hard-carving turn personality makes this ski feel very powerful. A more traditional shape, with a turn radius on the longer side. This ski is characterised as stable and assertive.
Tip: Early-rise tip and wide shovel provide excellent float in powder.
Waist: Long running length. Engineered for strong edging ability when fast and steep. Cambered underfoot for stability.
Tail: Minimal taper, with a wide and flat hard-working tail for control in debris and harder 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.

Love these. I've got them setup with the ATK R12 with the freeride spacer and it's a super light backcountry setup. The biggest area it helps is on the uphill on deep days. I stay so much higher in the snowpack so I can do more laps. I seem to be the one putting the track in so these make a huge different. They ski powder fantastically but can also rip the groomers. I wouldn't recommend the bump skiing in them but other than that, they work for anything.

When you pull these skis out you know its going to be a good day. Fat, fatter and crazy nimble. A longer running surface than the V8, these skis like to go fast but can also turn on a dime. With a similar shape to the HyperCharger but with a few more ho-ho's these skis can still trench turns on the hardpack but handle the absolute deepest days that ma' nature can throw at you. Hyper core makes them oh so light for touring. Just remember to start praying for snow in the early fall because these skis will devour any fresh you put in front of them.

Powder Drifters for sure. Best fat ski I have ever owned! The float is amazing and rises to the top on the chop and let's you enjoy! Coming back in bounds I was amazed that they were actually enjoyable to ski in bounds and preformed surprisedly well on the groomers. For such a light ski there was no chatter and held a nice edge in an aggressive turn! These skis will take you skiing! Highly recommend these skis and the Hyper Glide 140mm Skins.

Started my backcountry journey on Chargers and then DPS Wailers 185 and 106 under foot. I always felt a bit under powered in these skiis although they are awesome. So finally upgraded to the 186 Hyperdrifters and stiffer boots 130’s. What a difference amazing skiing with great float and good control in the trees. Very little weight sacrifice, likely won’t win the Powderkeg in these but I will definitely have way more fun!!

The ultimate backcountry powder ski... not your everyday charger, but as floaty and forgiving as you'd like in bottomless POW. Bought these for my annual mission to Japan, but now bust them out whenever I can!
