These skis are the holy grail, and you would be crazy to skip clicking the buy button. I'm dead serious. You can literally go twice as far, ski better, and feel better doing it. This is the kind of ski weight where you don't mind carrying them in your hand or over your shoulder for a while. The super light swing weight helps you in agility and direction, while the fat waist width floats you and surfs you down the hill like a modern snowboard. Breaking trail is ridiculously easy. They have the right amount of sidecut for that carving sensation we all look for. When I bought them, I knew I would love them when the snow is really deep. It didn't take me long to prefer them for every ski day of the season when the snow is as shallow as 5" deep. Ski something narrower and heavier on steep crust. For everything better than that, trust me.... these will change your life. Plus, they are manufactured in Utah by really nice backcountry ski lifers at Voile. - Mike Schwartz

 

From the manufacturer

 

The new Voile Hyper V8 is the updated version of the V8. The core is updated from aspen to paulownia wood, and the amount of carbon fiber has been doubled and Voile reinforced the binding mounts to account for the lighter core. The last update is a new graphic made from a durable and snow/ice phobic topsheet material. The Voile Hyper V8 is agile, fat, and feather light. It has the ability to float in the powder yet maintains quick edge to edge for the days when powder is scarce. The Hyper 8 is the result of many little changes to create a new award winning high performing ski.

 

FEATURES

 

Core  

Laminated Paulownia Wood Core
The lightest wood core offered in the Voile line, with an impressive strength to weight ratio. Paulownia provides the ideal foundation for building a lightweight touring ski.

Voile Carbon Weave
Two layers of our proprietary carbon fiberglass regulate the ski's flex without an impact on bonding strength

Base
 

Sintered Base
This ski passes on the base graphics for the sake of an ultra-high molecular density base.

 

Topsheet
 

Anti-Ice Topsheet
Exceptionally durable polyamide, with an irregular texture that slows the accumulation of snow and allows easy removal of snow and ice build-up when the approach is long and/or conditions are freezing

 

Edges  

Full-Perimeter Steel Edge
Two length 2mm steel with inset teeth wrap the full perimeter of the ski. Each section meets at the outermost points of the tip and tail, and is painstakingly hand-bent to ensure a precise layup.

 

Other Features
 

Reinforced Binding Mounts
Heel and toe mounting areas are double-reinforced to prevent binding pull out.
