Voile Hyper V6 BC Alpine Touring Skis - 5876-163-2526

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 BC is designed for a simple goal: 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, surf-like personality. Its hybrid rocker profile and tapered shape allow for quick, effortless turn initiation and unmatched float in powder. The key differentiator here is the scaled "Traction Pattern" BC base. This feature allows you to kick-and-glide on rolling terrain without having to constantly put on your skins. It doesn't replace them entirely, but it's a game-changer for long tours with frequent ups and downs. The Hyper V6 BC is quick on the rise and a blast on the descent, making it the perfect choice for backcountry enthusiasts.

Maintenance Tips      

• Wax the sintered base regularly (about every 3–5 ski days for frequent use) to maintain glide and protect the base from drying out.
• Keep steel edges clean and lightly sharpened for reliable grip on firm snow and icy traverses.
• After each tour, dry skis thoroughly and wipe moisture from edges to help prevent rust.
• Inspect the BC traction-pattern (fish-scale) zone for packed snow, ice, and debris; clean gently with a soft brush after use.
• Avoid excessive wax buildup in the traction-pattern area, as it can reduce climbing grip.
• Repair base scratches promptly with P-Tex to preserve the fast, durable sintered base.
• Check binding screws and mounting areas periodically, especially after aggressive backcountry use.
• Store skis in a cool, dry place during the off-season with a protective storage wax layer on the bases and edges.
