Voile UltraVector BC Alpine Touring Ski - 5304-154-2324

The Voile UltraVector BC touring ski is born for those not-so-perfect conditions, making it the best ski for epic backcountry trips. It can glide and turn through the trees and its softened flex and deeper sidecut will give you the edge hold you need when you need it. Slim dimensions keep it lightweight and let you tear those turns in the most challenging spaces and the traction bases minimize the need for skins in rolling terrain.

The early rise tip and wide shovel float in powder and the underfoot camber provides stability as well as grip on the uphill. The poplar core is damp and durable and the carbon weave gives a confident, capable performance across conditions.

At a feather-light 6lbs per pair and (reminiscent of the Vector's roots) the UltraVector BC features a Traction Pattern Base. So you, intrepid backcountry skier, can explore farther off the beaten path than ever—especially when a lengthy trek across rolling hills beckons.
