Description

All Mountain & Mountaineering
Directional / Carving


Introducing the Voile UltraVector, a ski that blends the long-distance touring abilities of the original Vector and the hard-charging, hard-carving powers of the SuperCharger.

The UltraVector's balanced flex and median sidecut allow you to initiate quick turns with little exertion, while its relatively narrow dimensions make it useful for navigating tighter places. True to its namesake, it’s a ski that will hold an edge with ease; whether moving through trees, sending an icy couloir, or cutting a line through the hardpack.

It’s a light-weight, effortless, all-mountain ski. It's arguably the best in our line for firm snow. And it wouldn’t be a Voile ski if it wasn’t still a contender on powder days.

 

Shape / Profile

Early-Rise Camber

Tip: Early-rise tip and wide shovel provide excellent float in powder.
Tail: Minimal taper, with a wide and flat hard-working tail for control in debris and harder conditions.
Waist: Long running length. Engineered for strong edging ability when fast and steep. Cambered underfoot for stability.

Voile UltraVector Skis Camber Profile

 

Construction

Poplar / Single Carbon

Durable and damp poplar construction with triaxial fiberglass for uncompromising performance inbounds or off-piste.


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 Mounting Patch

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

Triaxial Fiberglass

Triaxial fiberglass increases dimensional stability along three axis.

Laminated Poplar Wood Core

The hardest wood core we employ, Poplar provides a smooth/damp ride on hardish conditions and more readily takes the abuse when things get out of hand.

Voile Carbon-Weave

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

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.

Product Reviews

Awesome versatile ski
Paired these skis with Voile switchback tele bindings. Light, responsive, hold a good edge and the front tips plough away the heavy spring slush effectively. Uphill movement is easy, provided the snow isn't too wet or slick. Very happy with my purchase, now off to take them for a spin!

Fun skis
I’m looking forward to this next season. I’ve skied both groomers and off. They are lightweight and quick. I am a little bit apprehensive to get off the groomers but with these skis it was no problem to ski the entire mountain. I also take my grandchildren and it’s so easy to hike back up to them to help when they fall down. Can’t wait to earn some turns this next yr.

The most versatile tool in the box
I've put a full season on the UltraVectors, skiing them in everything from early season ticky-tack turns through the rocks, midseason powder tours, icy crust, and spring corn. When I'm unsure of what conditions the day will bring, I reach for the UltraVectors. I've skied them on 20 mile tours in Yellowstone National Park, community skimo races in Bozeman, and off the summit of Dae Wunt (the Grand Teton). They're light enough to keep up on a long tour, have a big enough shovel and rocker for most powder days, and nimble enough for steep and tight couloirs and trees. As far as specifics go, they're reasonably stiff underfoot and hold up well even on steep and firm snow or with a heavy pack on, and the flex softens nicely toward the tip and tail for easy turn initiation and release. Especially for tele skiers, they're a lightweight ski with enough strength underfoot for the stress of a tele binding flex pattern. Mine are mounted at manufacturer recommendation with a 22 Designs Lynx, and I've got no complaints about the mount point.

Tight and Playful Turns
Both as an inbounds and backcountry ski, I love this design. I'm six foot and bought a pair of 171cm UltraVector. The camber profile and the wide nose tip are what really makes me drool over its performance. I wanted to shorten my length so that I could make tighter turns and the extra camber (compared to the 183cm V6) makes this my favorite ski to slice up the groomers and my first pick to hikde up the Wasatch . Thanks Voile!

The best ski ever
I’ve been skiing since the 1970s and never experienced anything thing like the UltraVectors. Outstanding in every way.

These skis are great.
I've recently replaced the ultravectors I've been skiing for years with another pair of ultravectors. These are outstanding skis, designed to rip, designed to tour, durable and attractive, made in the usa. I'm an outdoor professional who often skis for work or patrol. To me, these are an ideal Vermont backcountry ski: maneuverable for forest, fun float in powder, can ski aggressively on edge if needed. Mine are mounted with 22D ntn telemark bindings. For the deeper days, I swap these skis out for the Superchargers, slightly shorter. Those rip too. The combination of those two skis has become an ideal simple quiver, skiing well in varied conditions and locations. Great ski!

Amazing all condition ski
Just finished 3 days on this ski. 1st day was a groomer day and I was impressed by how well this ski held an edge and was super stable even late in the day on chopped up snow. 2nd and 3rd day it snowed and WOW this ski took it all in its stride. Voile certainly know how to make a ski for Utah and beyond

Absolute medium
This is a great all around backcountry ski for the west coast. I've had wider skis that were perhaps better in powder but overkill hauling all the way up a volcano in the spring. And I've had narrower skis that got bogged down and hung up in our heavy west coast powder and crud. The Ultravectors have been all around great in powder, crud, corn and slush. Light, but stout enough for resort use too (I generally use some downhill gear at the resort, though). Using these with tech bindings. I also have the original Vector BC with telemark bindings, Switchbacks. I'd highly recommend the BC fishscale version for lower angles, mixed terrain and complex exits. Really helps navigate those situations. I'm 6'1", 165#, skiing the 184 cm version.

Perfect for slaying volcanos
I have used these primarily for skiing on volcanos in the PNW and have found them to be a perfect tool. They are light enough to carry easily and move fast while being stable enough and plenty of ski to make the descents a ball. Love 'em. Plus it's amazing that they are made in the USA.

Smooth!
If I had one word to describe this ski it would be "smooth". This ski really can work in all conditions. Its my every day ski. I have skied the Grand Teton on this ski, and countless powder days and Aguilli Du Midi laps. I finally said "forget it" to bringing 2 or 3 pairs of skis when I travel, and feel great only having the UltraVector with me. It is the perfect width for all times of the year. When the snow gets mushy in the spring it stays right on top. When its Janurary deep powder its nothing but fun. When you want to hold an edge on steep terrain it is smooth and predictable. Amazing ski and plenty stiff to open it up on bigger terrain, and my favorite ski in the moguls!
