96 to 102 mm All-Mountain Touring Ski
Voile Hyper V6 Alpine Touring Skis
The Voile Hyper V6 Alpine Touring Skis are for backcountry skiers who want one light, easy-turning ski for everything from early-season tree laps to spring corn. A 99 mm waist and 131 mm shovel at 178 cm keep the Hyper V6 on top of light powder, while an 18.5 m radius and a short running length let it pivot quickly between trees. At 1,320 g per ski in a 178, built on a paulownia core wrapped in two layers of carbon and fiberglass weave, the Hyper V6 suits long tour days, one-ski touring quivers, and skiers stepping down from a heavier resort ski.

Why We Like It
- Voile builds a separate shape for every length, so the 163 cm runs a 96 mm waist and the 188 cm a 102 mm waist, which keeps the ski in proportion to the skier on it.
- At 1,320 g per ski in a 178, the Hyper V6 is light enough for long approaches, and Voile reinforces the binding mount zones so the low weight does not cost screw retention.
- The hybrid rocker pairs a rockered shovel with camber underfoot, so the ski lifts in soft snow and still finds an edge on a firm skin-track traverse.
- Full-contact hardened steel edges and a sintered base, a dense polyethylene that resists gouging, stand up to rocks on thin early-season cover.
Best Uses
- Everyday backcountry touring
- Tree skiing and tighter terrain
- Light powder days
- Spring corn tours
- One-ski touring quivers
Ski Selection Advice
Length on the Hyper V6 changes more than reach. The radius grows from 17.0 m at 163 cm to 20.0 m at 188 cm and the waist widens from 96 mm to 102 mm, so stepping up a size buys float and stability and gives up some quickness in trees. Voile's suggested skier weights run 110 to 150 lb on the 163 cm and 150 lb and up on the 188 cm. We start from those ranges, then size down for tight terrain and up for open bowls.
Voile designs the Hyper V6 for alpine touring bindings, and a telemark mount voids the factory warranty. If your binding carries a brake, choose one wider than the waist at your length, which is 102 mm on the 188 cm. Match the binding to your boot sole norm. We size skins off the tail: the 108 to 115 mm tails across the run take 120 mm stock, trimmed to the edges.

Compare the Voile Hyper V6
Hyper V6 vs. Voile Hyper V8
The Voile Hyper V8 uses the same hybrid rocker and paulownia layup on a wider platform, 112 mm underfoot at 176 cm against 99 mm on the 178 cm Hyper V6. Choose the Hyper V8 when deep snow sets the agenda, and the Hyper V6 when a tour mixes powder, crust, and long approaches.

Hyper V6 vs. Voile HyperVector
The Voile HyperVector is 96 mm underfoot at 177 cm with early-rise camber and a longer running length, which makes it the more directional, edge-first ski of the two. The Hyper V6 gives up some of that grip for a rockered tail that releases turns more easily in trees.
Voile HyperVector Alpine Touring Skis
Hyper V6 vs. Voile HyperCharger
The Voile HyperCharger is 106 mm underfoot at 178 cm on an early-rise camber profile built around stability at speed. Skiers who want a quick, forgiving tree ski pick the Hyper V6, and skiers who ski open terrain fast pick the HyperCharger.

Common Questions
Who should buy the Voile Hyper V6?
The Voile Hyper V6 suits intermediate to advanced backcountry skiers who want one all-mountain touring ski for a full season. At 96 to 102 mm underfoot depending on length and 1,320 g per ski in a 178, it floats light powder, turns easily in trees, and stays light on long tours.
How much does the Voile Hyper V6 weigh?
The Voile Hyper V6 weighs 1,135 g per ski at 163 cm, 1,275 g at 173 cm, 1,320 g at 178 cm, 1,400 g at 183 cm, and 1,450 g at 188 cm. Voile notes that weights vary slightly from pair to pair because each ski is handmade.
What bindings work with the Voile Hyper V6?
The Voile Hyper V6 is designed for alpine touring bindings. A telemark mount voids the Voile factory warranty. If your binding uses a brake, choose a brake wider than the waist at your length, up to 102 mm on the 188 cm, and match the binding to your boot sole norm.
Is the Voile Hyper V6 a 99 mm ski?
Only at 178 cm. The Voile Hyper V6 changes shape with length: 96 mm underfoot at 163 cm, 98 mm at 173 cm, 99 mm at 178 cm, 100 mm at 183 cm, and 102 mm at 188 cm. A single waist figure quoted for the Hyper V6 describes one length, so check the number for the length you plan to ski.
What length Voile Hyper V6 should I ski?
Start with Voile's skier weight ranges: 110 to 150 lb on the 163 cm, 120 to 190 lb on the 173 cm, 130 to 190 lb on the 178 cm, 140 lb and up on the 183 cm, and 150 lb and up on the 188 cm. Size down for tight trees, since the radius drops to 17.0 m at 163 cm, and size up for open terrain.
What skins fit the Voile Hyper V6?
We size skins off the tail. Every length of the Voile Hyper V6 has a tail between 108 mm and 115 mm, so 120 mm stock trimmed to the edges covers the whole run.
How does the Voile Hyper V6 handle firm snow?
The Voile Hyper V6 holds a reliable edge on firm snow thanks to camber underfoot and full-contact steel edges, but the short running length and rockered tail favor quick turns over long, locked-in arcs. Skiers who spend most days on wind-firmed or refrozen snow should look at the longer running length of the Voile HyperVector.
Our Verdict
The Voile Hyper V6 Alpine Touring Skis are a practical all-mountain touring ski for skiers who value easy turns and low weight over outright edge hold. The shape scales with length from 96 mm to 102 mm underfoot, the hybrid rocker lifts in soft snow and pivots in trees, and the 178 cm weighs 1,320 g per ski. Firm, fast snow is where the Hyper V6 asks for the most attention, and everywhere else it is a light, forgiving partner for long days in the backcountry.
