Voile Hyper V6 BC Alpine Touring Ski - 5876-163-2223

The new and improved backcountry dream boat, scaled for your touring pleasure. The V6 BC offers fish scales underfoot on the base for easy low-grade skinning without needing skins. This feature makes it an excellent tool for when you want to glide through those long approaches before hitting the steep skin track.

Voile's new Hyper series is their lightest yet. The lightweight Paulownia wood core while woven carbon fiber maintains performance and durability. The BC model has outsold the regular as more and more skiers look for versatility. A word of warning, the scales will slow down your low angle descents slightly. If you are looking for absolute downhill performance, check out the regular

Q&A  

Q: What is the Voile Hyper V6 BC Alpine Touring Ski designed for?
A: An ultralight backcountry touring ski designed for powder, soft snow, and efficient travel across rolling terrain with a built-in traction base.

Q: What does “BC” mean on the Hyper V6 BC?
A: “BC” indicates a scaled traction (fish-scale) base that allows kick-and-glide efficiency on moderate terrain, reducing the need for skins on low-angle approaches.

Q: How is the Hyper V6 BC different from the standard V6 BC?
A: The Hyper version uses Voile’s Hyper Series construction with a paulownia wood core and carbon layup, significantly reducing weight for easier long ascents.

Q: How does it perform on the uphill?
A: It is extremely efficient for touring thanks to its ultralight build, especially on long approaches and rolling backcountry terrain.

Q: Is it good in powder and soft snow?
A: Yes. The V6 shape, rockered tip, and wide shovel provide strong float and a surfy, playful feel in deep snow.

Q: Do I still need climbing skins?
A: Yes. Skins are still required for steep climbs, deep snow, or technical ascents where the BC scales are not sufficient.

Q: Who is the Hyper V6 BC best for?
A: Backcountry skiers who want a very lightweight powder touring ski with added efficiency for flat and rolling terrain, without sacrificing downhill fun.

                 
Maintenance Tips

• Wax base regularly, but keep wax light in the BC traction zone to preserve climbing efficiency.
• Clean the integrated fish-scale/BC pattern after each tour using a soft nylon brush to remove ice, snow, and debris.
• Keep edges sharp and rust-free for control on icy traverses, firm snow, and variable backcountry terrain.
• Dry skis thoroughly after every use—especially edges and bindings—to prevent corrosion.
• Inspect binding mounts and hardware frequently; retighten screws if any loosening occurs.
• Repair base scratches promptly with P-Tex to maintain glide and protect the sintered base.
• Avoid prolonged heat or sun exposure (cars, direct sunlight), which can affect camber and base materials.
• Apply storage wax at season end and store in a cool, dry place.
