Voile W HyperDrifter Alpine Touring Skis

Tech Specs
Voile W HyperDrifter Alpine Touring Skis
The Voile W HyperDrifter Alpine Touring Skis are for women who tour for deep snow and want a wide, light ski in lengths built for them. A 115 mm waist and 149 mm shovel at 164 cm keep the tips planing in fresh snow, and a 17.6 m radius paired with camber underfoot lets the W HyperDrifter turn readily yet hold an edge on a firm exit. At 1,300 g per ski in a 164, on a paulownia core with two layers of carbon and fiberglass weave, the W HyperDrifter keeps a 115 mm ski light enough for full touring days, powder laps, and storm-cycle hut trips.

Why We Like It
- Each length carries its own sidecut: the 154 cm is 140-112-126 mm with a 17.0 m radius, and the 164 cm is 149-115-132 mm with a 17.6 m radius.
- At 1,190 g per ski at 154 cm and 1,300 g at 164 cm, the W HyperDrifter puts 112 to 115 mm underfoot for less weight than the shortest men's HyperDrifter.
- An early-rise tip lifts the shovel in deep snow while camber underfoot and a wide, flat tail keep the ski predictable when powder turns to crust.
- An anti-ice polyamide topsheet, a textured nylon top layer, sheds snow on the climb so the skis do not load up with weight on storm days.
Best Uses
- Powder-focused touring
- Hut trips in midwinter
- Open glades and bowls in soft snow
- Women sizing in 154 or 164 cm
- Storm days when float matters most
Ski Selection Advice
The choice is between two lengths. The 154 cm, at 17.0 m and 112 mm underfoot, turns quickly in trees and suits lighter skiers. The 164 cm, at 17.6 m and 115 mm underfoot, adds 9 mm of shovel width and more float for heavier skiers or open terrain. Because the W HyperDrifter has a long running length for a powder ski, it skis close to its printed length.
Voile designs the W HyperDrifter for alpine touring bindings, and a telemark mount voids the factory warranty. A brake has to clear 112 mm on the 154 cm and 115 mm on the 164 cm, so check the brake width or run a leash. Match the binding to your boot sole norm. We size skins off the tail: the 126 mm and 132 mm tails both take 140 mm stock, trimmed to the edges.
