Voile HyperVector Alpine Touring Skis - 5106-171-2526

This ski is for the backcountry rider who wants to get after it from pre-season to corn harvest. The Voile HyperVector shares the same DNA as its more powerful siblings but in a slimmed-down, ultralight version that makes the approach easier. With a paulownia wood core and proprietary carbon/fiberglass weave, this ski sheds significant weight while remaining a powerful platform for downhill performance. It’s a ski that does it all, from the skintrack to the descent.

The HyperVector is a directional, hard-carving ski with an aggressive, edge-to-edge feel. Its long running length and less sidecut are engineered for strong edging ability when you're driving fast and steep. Not one to be left out when the opportunity strikes, its early-rise tip and wide shovel ensure plenty of float in powder. It has a hard-working tail for powerful control on ice, debris, and hardpack, making it a reliable partner for any condition you encounter.

Maintenance Tips  

• Wax the lightweight sintered base regularly to maintain speed, protect against drying, and improve glide efficiency.
• Keep edges sharp and clean for dependable grip on icy traverses, firm snow, and mixed backcountry terrain.
• Dry skis thoroughly after every tour—especially edges and binding areas—to prevent rust and corrosion.
• Inspect binding mounts and hardware frequently; lightweight touring skis benefit from regular screw-tightness checks.
• Repair base scratches and core shots promptly with P-Tex to preserve performance and structural integrity.
• Remove snow and ice buildup from topsheet and bindings after use to reduce weight and moisture retention.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to heat or direct sunlight (cars, storage rooms), which can affect camber and base materials.
• Apply a full storage wax before off-season and store in a cool, dry place.
