Voile UltraVector BC Ski

These skis are designed for backcountry touring and mountaineering where you encounter a mix of conditions. They excel in tight tree lines and technical terrain where agility is more important than pure speed, making them ideal for long approaches and rolling backcountry landscapes.

The waxless traction pattern base is excellent for rolling terrain and moderate inclines, allowing you to move efficiently without constantly applying and removing skins. However, for very steep, icy, or sustained climbs, you will still want to carry a pair of climbing skins for extra grip.

Yes, the softer flex makes the ski much more forgiving and easier to maneuver, especially in variable snow or tight spaces. It allows the ski to engage more easily at lower speeds, though it may feel less stable than a stiffer ski if you are charging hard through heavy, high-speed chop.

The UltraVector BC weighs 6 pounds per pair. This lightweight construction is specifically engineered to reduce fatigue during long backcountry approaches and extended days in the mountains.

The deep sidecut is designed to help with precise carving and turn initiation in confined spaces like tree lines. While it helps with agility, the narrower dimensions mean it won't have the same float as a dedicated powder ski, so it is best suited for skiers who prioritize maneuverability over pure flotation.
