STAFF PICK

 

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.

FEATURES

 

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.

 

Core  

Laminated Aspen Wood Core
The hardest wood core we employ, Aspen provides a smooth/damp ride on hardish conditions and more readily takes the abuse when things get out of hand.

Triaxial Fiberglass
Increases dimensional stability along three axis.

Voile Carbon-Weave
Our proprietary carbon fiberglass regulates the ski's flex without an impact on bonding strength.

 

Edges  

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

 

Profile
 

Hybrid Rocker

 

Base  

Sintered Base
This skis passes on the base graphics for the sake of an ultra-high molecular density base; making for faster downhill performance and greater wear/impact resistance. Many claim that a black base increases a ski's maximum speed. Something about "snow melting faster", which apparently has the effect of "increasing lubrication". Sounds pretty nice, right? Of course, we don't really know if it's true... Regardless, you can rest assured that your p-tex repairs will be seamless after your day spent breaking the sound barrier.

 

Other Features
 

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