Voile Hyper V8 Alpine Touring Skis - 5604-165-2526

The Hyper V8 is the culmination of years of design to create a new benchmark for what a fat ski can be. It's a high-fun-factor ski that's now ready to climb as well as it rips. Starting with a featherlight paulownia wood core and a double carbon layup, the Hyper V8 sheds serious weight without compromising its burly, iron-filled performance. We’ve beefed up the carbon and re-enforced the binding mounts to make sure this ski is ready for anything you can throw at it, whether you’re earning it on the skin track or charging through chunder on the descent.

This ski lives up to its "All Mountain + Powder" focus. It has the width to float the deepest powder, but remains quick edge-to-edge for all those non-powder days. With its intuitive, surf-like turn personality, the V8 is playful and responsive, making it an easy ski to operate in variable conditions. This isn't just a new ski, it's a completely overhauled, award-winning design that's lighter, faster, and ready for your next big adventure.

Maintenance Tips  

• Wax regularly to maintain the sintered base’s speed, glide, and durability—especially after 3–5 touring days or whenever the base looks dry.
• Inspect and sharpen steel edges as needed for reliable grip on firm snow and icy traverses. Remove rust promptly after wet outings.
• Repair base scratches early with P-Tex to prevent deeper damage and preserve downhill performance.
• Clean and dry skis thoroughly after every tour, paying special attention to edges, bindings, and mounting areas.
• Store with a thick coat of storage wax during the off-season to protect the lightweight carbon/paulownia construction and prevent base oxidation.
• Keep climbing skins clean and fully dry before storage; avoid direct heat and prolonged UV exposure to preserve adhesive performance.
• Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and excessive heat to maximize the lifespan of the skis, skins, and bindings
