Voile Vector ACE Skis

While the Vector ACE is engineered for backcountry touring, its damp construction and stable ride perform well in-bounds. However, because they are optimized for weight efficiency and uphill travel, they may feel less substantial than dedicated resort skis on high-speed, icy groomers.

The early-rise tip provides essential float in deep powder, keeping the ski on top of the snow rather than diving. On firmer, high-alpine terrain, the flat tail engages fully, providing the edge control and stability you need for technical descents.

Yes, the Vector ACE is fully compatible with telemark bindings. The maple mounting patch is specifically designed to provide the extra reinforcement needed for the increased torque and stress that telemark setups place on the binding area.

The 94mm waist is a classic 'sweet spot' for backcountry touring. It is narrow enough to be nimble and quick edge-to-edge on firm snow, yet wide enough to provide adequate float in variable backcountry conditions and lighter powder days.

The pair weighs 2816 grams. This ultralight construction, achieved through the paulownia wood core and carbon-weave layers, is designed to minimize fatigue during long ascents without sacrificing the downhill performance required for technical terrain.

The anti-ice topsheet is a practical feature for touring that prevents heavy snow and ice from sticking to the top of your skis. This keeps your setup lighter throughout the day, preventing the 'clumping' effect that can make uphill travel significantly more exhausting.
