Thumbnail Filmstrip of Voile V8 Skis Images
But wait... There's more!
Brawny, yet agile. Obese, yet svelte. Floatable, yet carvable. A list of ridiculous ironies and superlatives could go on and on, but one thing is for certain: The Voilé V8 is the ultimate fun hog.
We’re not just blowing our own horn here. That’s what the testers from Backcountry, Powder and Freeskier Magazines all said, too.
The V8’s ultra-wide shovel, tapered tail and perfect amount of sidecut all add up to an incredibly stable ride in deep powder, without sacrificing the maneuverability needed for skiing in tight places. And, of course, our signature Voilé Hybrid Rocker shines in the mix, as well.
Sounds great, but you may be thinking that a ski this burly must also weigh in like an Abrams Tank. Not so, think again. The V8’s lightweight Poplar core and carbon-fiber construction keep its weight to a minimum. (The actual amount even surprises us.)
Deep in the backcountry or deep in powder at the resort, the V8 gives skiers an amazing platform to conquer almost any terrain and condition.

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.
Classic
Full Cap / Poplar / Carbon
Durable and damp poplar construction with triaxial fiberglass for uncompromising performance inbounds or off-piste. Lightweight without sacrificing downhill performance.
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.
Fiberglass Mounting Patch
Heel and toe mounting areas are reinforced to prevent binding pull-out during aggressive maneuvers through hard snow, effectively distributing the energy transferred between the skier and the ski. These skis are compatible with telemark bindings.
Voile Carbon-Weave
Voile Carbon-Weave combines the lightweight strength of carbon fiber with the durability of triaxial fiberglass. The strategic integration of carbon fiber into the ski's construction reduces 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.

As I see it there are two ends to the spectrum of backcountry skiers, the Hardcore Henry's and the Easy Eric's. Whereas the Hardcore Henry's are typically objective-oriented, skiing on skis that favor the uphill and probably riding their fat bikes with skis in tow for miles just to get to the start of the climb, the Easy Eric's are just the opposite. Eric's dream of ripping pow with minimal effort (did you say sled skiing??) and when choosing a ski, ski weight is of minimal concern. As you can imagine the quiver of ski's a Henry is in possession of looks very different from that of an Eric with all but one exception, the Voile V8. It satisfies the weight restrictions a Henry, with all the ripability an Eric lives for.\n\nMost days of the week I would fall towards being and Eric more so than a Henery. Although I don't mind a long walk, I am out there for the downhill. I wouldn't even consider purchasing a ski that weighed less than 1900 grams a ski until my buddy Eric "The Tourist" Choi convinced me to buy a pair of V8's. \n\nFor reference, I am 5 feet 10 inches tall (178cm) and weigh a buck 80 (80kg), kind of a think boi. I opted for the V8 in the 186 cm length as I figured it would float and charge (remember every turn is a sign of fear-CW) a bit harder than the 181 cm. However, I thought I might sacrifice maneuverability when the trees get tight, but thanks to the 18.4 m turning radius this was not the case. 12 out of 10 people would agree that the V8 is their favorite powder ski, but what really impressed me is how well the V8's ski on less than blower pow. Dust on crust, check; cripsy groomers, check; crud, busted...you get the point. If I were to have a one ski quiver it would be the V8. If I were to change one thing about the V8, it would be the top sheet graphics (hence the 4-star rating). No offense to the artist, but I am not a fan of the space bacon-inspired top sheets on the current model V8 (although they may look pretty cool on psychedelics?). What happened to the surf-inspired graphics? Looks aside, it's what's on the inside that matters after all and the shape and layup of the V8 are spot on. \n\nBottom line, if you can get past the space bacon top sheets of the V8's you will not find a better ski for its weight and versatility and skiability.
