Voile Hyper V6 Alpine Touring Skis - 5801-163-2526

Look, we all enjoy a little Type II fun, but you don't have to be a full-on masochist to earn your turns. The Voile Hyper V6 is designed for a simple goal: to shed serious weight. By pairing a super-light paulownia wood core with twice the amount of carbon fiber, this ski shaves nearly a full pound per pair, making those long days on the skin track effortless. But that's just half the battle. This ski is built to be a durable workhorse, with reinforced mounting areas and a full-contact steel edge.

This ski is an all-mountain ripper with an intuitive, surfy personality. Its hybrid rocker profile and tapered shape allow for quick, effortless turn initiation and unmatched float in powder. Don't let the ultralight build fool you, though. The Voile Carbon-Weave and Triaxial fiberglass provide a consistent flex and predictable performance, giving you the confidence to lay down a solid edge on firm snow. The Hyper V6 is quick on the uphill and a blast on the descent, making it the perfect choice for backcountry enthusiasts.

Maintenance Tips

• Wax the sintered base regularly to maintain glide and protect against drying and oxidation.
• Keep edges sharp and rust-free for reliable grip on icy traverses, hardpack, and variable backcountry snow.
• Dry skis thoroughly after each tour—especially edges and binding zones—to prevent corrosion.
• Inspect binding mounts and hardware frequently; retighten screws if any loosening is detected after long or rough use.
• Repair base scratches and core shots promptly with P-Tex to preserve performance and durability.
• Brush off snow and ice buildup from topsheet and bindings after use to reduce moisture and unnecessary weight.
• Avoid prolonged heat or direct sun exposure (cars, storage areas), which can affect camber and base structure.
• Apply a full storage wax before off-season and store in a cool, dry environment
