Voile Manti Ace Alpine Touring Ski - 5714-171-2526

The Voile Manti alpine touring ski has long been favored for its surfy float and crust-busting stability that can turn every backcountry day into a good one. Combining the playful, practical fun of the Manti with Voile's latest advanced construction, the Voile Manti Ace is the next all-day, all-season, all-condition snow slayer made right here in the USA. 

Featuring the same camber profile, early-rise tip, and gradual tail rocker that made the original a favorite for its responsiveness in powder and confidence on firm snow, the Manti Ace takes things up a notch. The new Ace is made with a paulownia wood core reinforced with a maple mounting patch for secure telemark and tech binding mounts, a continuous TPU sidewall for improved damping and edge hold, and a notched tail protector to keep your skins securely attached. This ski combines the best qualities of Voile's Hyper skis with increased strength and binding versatility for the ultimate quiver of one. 

With the new Manti Ace, you can experience the glory of more power on descents, wider mounting options, and no significant weight increase. It's like the ski version of having your cake and eating it too, with extra frosting. The Manti Ace is perfect for the touring devotee who wants one ski to rule all conditions with style.

Maintenance Tips

• Check binding screws and mounting areas periodically. The reinforced maple mounting patch is designed for excellent binding retention, but routine inspection helps prevent issues.
