Description

The Voilé UltraVector BC adds a Voilé Traction Pattern Base to the reliably-efficient UltraVector and helps the adventurous backcountry skier get even further into the hinterland—especially when a long approach is required.

The UltraVector BC does not eliminate the need to carry skins into the backcountry, but once at the apex, skiers can expect downhill turning akin to the original UltraVector on steeper slopes and get a buzz (hear a hum) on lesser slopes.

 

Construction

Poplar / Single Carbon / BC

Full-Perimeter Steel Edge

Two lengths of 2mm steel with inset teeth wrap the full perimeter of the ski. Each section meets at the outermost points of the tip and tail, and is painstakingly hand-bent to ensure a precise layup.

Anti-Ice Topsheet

Exceptionally durable polyamide, with an irregular texture that slows the accumulation of snow and allows easy removal of snow and ice build-up when the approach is long and/or conditions are freezing.

Reinforced Binding Mounts

Heel and toe mounting areas are reinforced to prevent binding pull out.

Triaxial Fiberglass

Triaxial fiberglass increases dimensional stability along three axis.

Voile Carbon-Weave

Our proprietary carbon fiberglass regulates the ski's flex without an impact on bonding strength.

Traction Pattern Base

For the backcountry skier who must continually make long approaches over rolling terrain, Sharpscale traction base is a godsend. It may sap a little of the ski's downhill speed, but negotiating far fewer skin transitions may be worth it.

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.

Many claim that a black base increases a ski's maximum speed. Something about "snow melting faster," which apparently has the effect of "increasing lubrication." Sounds pretty nice, right? Of course, we don't really know if it's true... Regardless, you can rest assured that your p-tex repairs will be seamless after your day spent breaking the sound barrier.

Totally awesome

These skis are so dang nice! It's great to not need skins in the rolling terrain! Easy carving, super quick in the trees & icy bumps! Not only that, it was super duper fun ripping past the guy who said "Those skis suck! Slow!" whilst at the resort! I'm going to get the non-BC version so I can go supersonic next time! Thanks for such a wonderful product.

These skis have changed how, when and where I ski— for the better. The fish scales are far more efficient than skins, letting me go further with less effort. For exploring low angle terrain in northern New England, these skis are ideal. I paired them with ATK Trafeo bindings and Fischer Carbon Travers boots. I can cruise low angle terrain almost as well as Nordic, while still climbing steeper tracks (with skins). Performance on the downhill is soft (in a forgiving way), and pairs well with the Travers for power transmission. Float is sufficient— these excel in 6-12” , and can still hold their own when it gets deep. My wife was so jealous, she just bought herself a pair! For reference: 5’10”, 190 lbs. 184cm

For rolling terrain

This are a perfect backcountry ski for rolling terrain. I live in Ontario so I need a ski that could handle this type of terrain, more than just a regular cross country ski because I also have to go down hills that are as steep as an Alpine ski run but below the tree line. Some of our forests can be quite dense. Voile is the only company that makes a ski short enough with the fish scale pattern. These skis turn well, climb well and descend well. I tried the glide lite but the integrated skins are too sticky. The fish scale pattern is the only thing realistic for rolling terrain. Thanks for making these skis!!!

The Only Ski You'll Ever Need

As soon as I got my Vectors I knew I wanted the Vector BC. Fast-forward a few years and I landed a pair of these beauties. They ski every bit as well as my Vectors, with the added benefit of not having to put on skins for the odd creek traverse or low-angle climb to a better line. With AT bindings on them I feel like there's nothing in the Northeast I can't do on these skis. I love the simple look of most Voilé skis, but these are on another level; and when folks inevitably ask what they are, I just say "vwahlay". :-)

Finally a setup that is so much more than just a cross country ski with edges. This ski has a waist width that is actually substantial enough for deep snow adventures. The fish scales give rolling terrain a run for their money. Add some additional climbing skins and really get to the top of the backyard. Love these and would even consider a pair mounted with Magnum NNN BC bindings, another with tele bindings, and maybe even a pair with some alpine tech bindings. There’s something for every adventure with these skis.

Light, solid, and simple. This ski is exactly what I expected. I dig the white top sheet as I don't have to look at someone else's 'art', and enjoy simply leaving a beautiful track behind. I was hopeful about the fish scales, and they've turned out to work wonderfully. I can roam around easily on low angle terrain and traverse easily between terrain features to maximize my turns. I throw on skins to I head into steeper terrain and have no performance loss on the down. I'm a happy Voile rider!
