Voile Hyper V8

The Hyper V8 is purpose-built for deep, soft snow and backcountry touring. Its design excels in powder conditions where floatation and maneuverability are the top priorities.

The combination of a lightweight paulownia wood core and carbon fiber reinforcement keeps the weight down to 1460g at the 181cm length. This low weight-to-surface-area ratio makes it highly efficient for long days of skinning and climbing in the backcountry.

While it features camber underfoot for some grip, this ski is optimized for powder. You may find it less stable or 'chattery' on hard-packed ice or firm groomers compared to a dedicated resort ski with more metal in the construction.

The 'surfy' feel comes from the combination of a wide shovel, a narrower tail, and ample rocker in the tip and tail. This allows the ski to pivot easily in deep snow, making it intuitive to steer and helping you float through turns without feeling locked into a rigid arc.

The Hyper V8 is designed for advanced to expert skiers. Its lightweight construction and specific geometry require a confident technique to handle effectively, especially in variable backcountry conditions.

Yes, Voile scales the width of the Hyper V8 progressively with the length of the ski. This ensures that the floatation characteristics remain consistent across the entire size range.
