In a world where women’s skis are often just tweaked men’s skis, the SuperCharger was an exception—the women’s version came first.
The idea came from discussions and feedback from our female customers, who wanted a more playful, faster turning ski that could still handle the big mountain terrain they loved. And so the Women's Supercharger began to take shape.
The result is a directional “carving” ski with an edge-to-edge feel, capable of big lines as well as daily driving. It features minimal taper and a wider hard-working tail for control in debris and harder conditions. The generous width, early-rise tip and wide shovel provide excellent float in powder. A long running length with less sidecut provides for strong edging ability when driving fast and steep.
This is a women’s backcountry ski that eats up switchbacks, deftly navigates the trees, shreds open bowls, and charges down big mountain lines. The Women’s SuperCharger is so good, we made a men’s version.
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.
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.

I bought these skis to replace a much longer and wider BD Starlett ski for tele skiing. These skis delivered as advertised and reviewed. The reviews were spot on. This ski rides in the lift area holding its edge without vibration. In the backcountry of British Columbia I was a bit concerned, but no worries about it riding on/through wind affected snow and powder. Very versatile ski. Mounted with X2 bindings, 154 cm length. I am 107 lbs.

The Ultimate Quiver Killer
I've been rocking these bad girls in the 154 for the last three seasons. It was time to upgrade and I couldn't find anything that suited my needs quite like the Super Chargers do so I went ahead and got a second pair.
Why are they great? Well let me tell you! At 5'0 and 110lbs, it's hard to find a shorter, lightweight ski without sacrificing performance. These do not. I feel at ease busting crust at high speeds inbounds with zero chatter. I really feel like these shine for their backcountry versatility though. They climb like a dream and the 99 underfoot is perfect for most of the Colorado conditions I ski. Wide enough to float but not too wide for those icier couloir missions.
The bases have been subjected to late season boulder field crossings without the mercy of removal and have held up with surprising durability.
With topsheets that look like a throwback to the early 90's and enough play to handle any style of skiing, what's not to love?

THESE SKIS ARE MAGIC
From Wasatch fluff to PNW variability, these skis are just perfect. With their light weight, they are the perfect uphill companion and I have never felt a chatter on icy descents. I LOVE these skis and recommend them to everyone I know.

Awesome ski!
Bought these as a winter backcountry ski but so far I have only done 4 runs on them in the resort (conditions have been sad and dry in the PNW this year). Here's the thing- if a dedicated backcountry ski (or one light enough to be a dedicated backcountry ski) can shred this hard on crappy dust-on-bulletproof-crust, then that is one amazing ski. I have spent my life on stiff, cambered, frontside carvers and the transition to wider, more all-mountain (and especially backcountry) skis has been rough; I hate skiing noodles that can't handle a carve or hold an edge. At 102 underfoot, I was thinking of the superchargers as a soft snow set up. But to my surprise, when I took them out on 3 inches of fresh snow over a horrible blue ice crust, they were stiff (enough), carvable, predictable, and experienced no tip deflection on ice or in chop. They turned when I wanted them to and were just so intuitive yet chargeable. One caveat is that I ride them more centered because my AT boot isn't stiff enough to load the tips, so with a stiffer boot, you can probably rip them even harder but maybe find the speed limit I did not find. Anyway, I can say that I am so pleased with these skis. They will clearly be able to crush everything the backcountry throws at them when I finally get to take them out for a tour. I am 5'5, 120lbs and got the 164 (though had much debate about the 164s vs 172s and landed on the 164s only because a good deal came along). The 164 felt good, and I'm sure will appreciate them in tight trees, but I can't rule out that the 172 would have been just as good if not better.

Light and fun
These skis are a lot of fun. I use them in the Utah Backcountry and love that they are lightweight, float well in powder and are easy to turn through those tight trees or on those days when the snow conditions are not great. Being on the lighter side on terms of weight, I appreciate how easily I can make my skis flex when needed, yet they never feel chattery or unstable. About me: I'm 5'5" 115 lbs and have the 154 cm length - I like my skis on the shorter end. Intermediate skier but not afraid of heading down black runs. My favorite thing skiing is to do long days with lots of laps in the backcountry.

Raisin'HeelBackcountryandtelemarkequipment
I have a pair of older Charger 154 cm skis and have enjoyed their light and responsive performance in "deep" powder conditions. I am wowed by their float and quick turn initiation for the greatest imaginable fun in moderate to steep powder conditions where tight turns would be more of a challenge on longer skies. So happy to see Voile` has expanded the options for this shorter length in some of the new models, including especially, BC models!
