Voile Hyper V6 Alpine Touring Ski - 759948918082

When Voile paired down their V8 into its more nimble counterpart the V6, it instantly became one of our favorite skis on the rack as a versatile daily driver. This newest rendition of the V6, Voile has taken the shape and performance we love and shed upwards of 15% of the weight. The new Hyper series saves on grams thanks to a lightweight paulownia wood core woven with double the amount of carbon fiber relative to the traditional V6, and topped with reinforced mounting zones so it maintains performance and durability. At the end of the day, we're seriously psyched that the V6 we love is lighter and capable of taking us further, faster.

Maintenance Tips        

• Wax the sintered base regularly (every 3–5 touring days in heavy use) to maintain speed, glide, and base durability.
• Keep edges sharp and rust-free for reliable grip on firm snow and icy traverses; dry thoroughly after each outing.
• Repair base gouges promptly with P-Tex to prevent deeper damage and preserve performance. The Hyper V6’s sintered base is designed for durable repairs.
• Inspect binding mount areas regularly, especially on lightweight touring setups, and tighten hardware as needed.
• Dry skis and climbing skins completely before storage to prevent rust, adhesive issues, and material degradation.
• Apply a thick storage wax in the off-season and store skis in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
• Avoid prolonged impacts on rocks and thin coverage, as the lightweight carbon/paulownia construction is optimized for low weight rather than abuse.
