Voile Hyper Endeavor Skis

The traction pattern is excellent for rolling terrain and moderate inclines, allowing you to move efficiently without skins. However, for very steep or icy backcountry climbs, you will still need to use climbing skins for adequate grip.

The Hyper Endeavor BC is designed primarily for efficiency and long-distance travel rather than deep powder flotation. With a waist width between 80mm and 84mm, it excels on firm snow and variable backcountry conditions, but it may feel narrow if you are frequently skiing deep, soft snow.

The anti-ice topsheet is designed to prevent snow and ice from sticking to the top of your skis. This keeps the overall weight down during long tours, as you won't be carrying the extra pounds of accumulated snow that can build up on standard topsheets.

Paulownia is an incredibly lightweight wood, which makes these skis very easy to maneuver on the uphill and less fatiguing over long distances. To ensure the ski remains stable and responsive at speed, Voile reinforces this light core with dual layers of carbon weave.

While you technically can, these are purpose-built for backcountry touring and mountaineering. The lightweight construction and traction base are optimized for human-powered travel, so they will feel less stable and durable than a dedicated resort ski when subjected to high-speed groomers or icy lift lines.
