Achieve Your Alpine Ambitions.
Inspired by skimo racing, the latest members of our ski family place an emphasis on fast ascents and long-distance travel. They reside somewhere between our WSP and UltraVector skis.
Witness the new Voilé Objective.
Equally at home atop The Haute Route or on a long jaunt in The Catskills, these skis are light enough to go the distance and stiff enough to hold an edge on boilerplate. They won’t exactly shine in deep powder, but many an East Coast skier will likely press them into service at their local ski resort.

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.

When I step into a lightweight ski, I typically expect to lose a little something on the descent. The Objectives just seem to have something special that allows them to ski incredibly well. They’re light enough to make a 10,000’ day feel like a walk in the park, yet as I was going down Cold Fusion Couloir at 45mph making huge GS turns, all I could do was smile. I’ll admit that this ski isn’t made for high speeds, but it handles almost every condition better than you’d ever expect out of a lightweight ski. Chapeau Voile. This one is a work of art.

These skis are great. A super light option when mounted with the right binding / skins. But they ski much better then the rando racing skis. Particularly in powder, these things have a nice sized shovel and enough tip rise to keep you not only afloat but really able to have fun on them. Steep and icy terrain, they have enough camber to really trust the edge.\nThe only complaint I have been able to find with these skis is in certain spring conditions. Corn, hard pack and firm snow... even ice... no problem at all. But when that corn turns to mush for example at the bottom of a couloir towards the apron, or you have a warm spring snow storm... I find myself wishing they were a little stiffer. Often times I choose to pull out the Volie Vector instead if I plan to hit warm powder or mush that day. \nAmazing ski with one of the best performance to weight ratios out there.

Every time I’m out on these skis I’m surprised at 1) how light they are and 2) how well they ski. I got them for farming corn on volcanos and they rock at that, but one day we had a surprise 8” of freshies and they were a blast! Watch your partner’s shoulders sag as you say you’re going for another lap. No, it’s not super powers, it’s the Objectives!
