Voile V6 BC Alpine Touring Ski (2024) - 5875-163-2324

The Voile V6 BC is a versatile backcountry touring ski equipped with Voile's Traction Pattern Base to tackle your snow endeavors in rolling terrain. Built with the same lightweight poplar core and carbon-fiber construction presented in its V6 cousin, as well as Voile's signature Voile Hybrid Rocker, the V6 BC makes long tours a little more efficient. Thanks to the 2cm of taper and robust sidecut, these skis and turn on a dime in the steep stuff.

The V6 BC is built with a narrower, lighter frame than the V8, with shorter length options available. The combination of carbon and triaxial fiberglass gives the skis more pop and a more agile edge, providing fresh and fun downhill performance.

The Voile V6 BC marks Voile's third expedition into the world of scaled-skiing–, the Vector BC and HyperCharger BC being the first two. Despite not being the optimal ski for every run, the V6 BC can be a saving grace for those navigating long, hilly treks when breaking trail deep into the backcountry.

What our Experts Think    

• A true backcountry “daily driver” ski built for versatility across rolling terrain, powder, and mixed snow conditions.
• Features a 96–100mm waist (depending on length) that balances flotation in soft snow with efficient edge control on firmer skin tracks.
• Scaled “Traction Pattern BC base” reduces the need for frequent skin transitions, making it highly efficient for long approaches and undulating terrain.
• Lightweight poplar core with carbon reinforcement delivers a strong mix of uphill efficiency and reliable downhill stability.
• Hybrid rocker profile creates a surfy, intuitive feel with easy turn initiation and smooth performance in variable snow.
• Strong torsional stability helps it remain composed on steeper descents while still feeling playful and easy to maneuver.
• Designed for skiers who prioritize efficiency, simplicity, and all-day touring range over pure downhill aggressiveness.
• Particularly well-suited for rolling backcountry zones, long forest approaches, and mixed-condition touring days.
