The Voile HyperVector BC has the versatility to handle it all. It can climb and descend steep terrain, float through powder, and carve hardpack. But where it really shines is on those long approaches over rolling terrain and meadows. With a scaled \"Traction Pattern\" BC base underfoot, you no longer have to stop and put on your skins to get over a small climb or flat section. You can simply kick and glide your way past the obstacles, saving time and energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ski is a lightweight climbing machine that's equally designed for downhill muscle. It shares the same performance focus as the standard HyperVector, delivering a directional, hard-carving feel with an aggressive edge-to-edge feel. With a long running length and a less pronounced sidecut, this ski provides strong edging ability when driving fast and steep. Its ultralight construction makes it easy to get to the top, and once you're there, you'll be able to handle any descent confidently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat our Experts Think\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"c1edn8\" data-start=\"28\" data-end=\"211\"\u003eA \u003cstrong data-start=\"32\" data-end=\"75\"\u003elightweight all-mountain BC touring ski\u003c\/strong\u003e designed for strong uphill efficiency and confident downhill performance across varied terrain. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"gi5fdz\" data-start=\"212\" data-end=\"399\"\u003ePart of the \u003cstrong data-start=\"226\" data-end=\"251\"\u003eHyperVector BC series\u003c\/strong\u003e, featuring a paulownia wood core with carbon\/fiberglass construction for reduced weight and high stability. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1rkgh5p\" data-start=\"400\" data-end=\"578\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"402\" data-end=\"442\"\u003e~90–98mm waist (depending on length)\u003c\/strong\u003e delivers a balanced blend of float in soft snow and precision on firmer backcountry conditions. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"g5ps9h\" data-start=\"579\" data-end=\"737\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"581\" data-end=\"637\"\u003eDirectional “carving” shape with long running length\u003c\/strong\u003e enhances edge hold and control at speed on steeper terrain. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"13btpfr\" data-start=\"738\" data-end=\"906\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"740\" data-end=\"777\"\u003eEarly-rise tip + camber underfoot\u003c\/strong\u003e makes turn initiation easy while maintaining strong grip and stability on variable snow. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1hdwtdq\" data-start=\"907\" data-end=\"1068\"\u003eBuilt for skiers who want a \u003cstrong data-start=\"937\" data-end=\"970\"\u003etrue one-ski touring solution\u003c\/strong\u003e for powder, corn, windboard, and mixed alpine conditions. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"sjeuok\" data-start=\"1069\" data-end=\"1230\"\u003eLightweight enough for big vertical days, yet \u003cstrong data-start=\"1117\" data-end=\"1189\"\u003edamp and composed enough for technical descents and longer traverses\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"gqh5c4\" data-start=\"1231\" data-end=\"1350\"\u003eBest suited to \u003cstrong data-start=\"1248\" data-end=\"1347\"\u003eexperienced backcountry skiers prioritizing efficiency + control over playful surf-style skiing\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e                   \u003cbr\u003eQ\u0026amp;A    \u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQ: What makes the Voile HyperVector BC Alpine Touring Ski unique?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA: The HyperVector BC combines Voile’s ultralight Hyper construction (paulownia wood core + double carbon layup) with a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003etraction-pattern (scaled) base\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, giving efficient glide on rolling terrain while reducing uphill transition frequency.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQ: Who is the HyperVector BC best suited for?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA: It’s designed for backcountry skiers and ski mountaineers who want a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003elightweight, efficient touring ski\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e that still performs well on descents across variable snow conditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQ: How does it perform on the climb?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA: Very efficient—its low weight reduces fatigue on long approaches, while the scaled base improves kick-and-glide on mellow terrain and traverses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQ: Do I still need skins with the HyperVector BC?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA: Yes.
