Voile V6 BC Alpine Touring Ski (2024) - 5875-163-2324
The Voile V6 BC is a versatile backcountry touring ski equipped with Voile's Traction Pattern Base to tackle your snow endeavors in rolling terrain. Built with the same lightweight poplar core and carbon-fiber construction presented in its V6 cousin, as well as Voile's signature Voile Hybrid Rocker, the V6 BC makes long tours a little more efficient. Thanks to the 2cm of taper and robust sidecut, these skis and turn on a dime in the steep stuff.
The V6 BC is built with a narrower, lighter frame than the V8, with shorter length options available. The combination of carbon and triaxial fiberglass gives the skis more pop and a more agile edge, providing fresh and fun downhill performance.
The Voile V6 BC marks Voile's third expedition into the world of scaled-skiing–, the Vector BC and HyperCharger BC being the first two. Despite not being the optimal ski for every run, the V6 BC can be a saving grace for those navigating long, hilly treks when breaking trail deep into the backcountry.
