99 to 108 mm Big-Mountain Touring Ski
Voile HyperCharger Alpine Touring Skis
The Voile HyperCharger Alpine Touring Skis are built for backcountry skiers who want one ski for big lines, deep days, and fast descents without hauling a heavy freeride ski uphill. A 104 to 108 mm waist from 171 to 185 cm floats powder and keeps a stable platform in chop, while a 19.5 m radius and camber underfoot at 178 cm hold a long, directional carve on steep, firm faces. At 1,395 g per ski at 178 cm, with a paulownia core reinforced by two layers of Voile Carbon-Weave, a woven carbon and glass laminate, the HyperCharger covers powder touring, couloirs, and big-mountain objectives in a single ski.

Is This the Right Ski for You?
Best For
Strong tourers who want a single ski for powder and big lines, size 171 to 185 cm, and accept 1,395 g per ski (178 cm) for a 106 mm platform.
Consider Another Ski If
You mostly tour firm spring snow over long distances, want a loose, surfy turn instead of a carving radius, or need the lightest possible climbing ski.

Why We Like It
- Voile doubled the carbon when it moved the Charger design from a poplar core to paulownia, a lighter and softer wood, which is how a 106 mm ski lands at 1,395 g per ski at 178 cm.
- The flat, wide tail, 124 mm at 178 cm, supports the finish of a turn in avalanche debris and on hard snow, where a tapered tail lets go.
- Width scales from 99 mm at 154 cm to 108 mm at 185 cm, so a skier on the 164 cm gets a 102 mm ski proportioned to that length rather than a shortened 108.
- Early Rise Camber pairs a rising 140 mm shovel at 178 cm for powder with cambered edge contact underfoot for steep, firm entrances.
Best Uses
- Powder touring and storm days
- Steep couloirs and big-mountain lines
- Spring aprons and fast open faces
- One-ski quivers for powder-leaning tourers
- Hut trips in deep-snow ranges
Ski Selection Advice
The HyperCharger changes more across its size run than most touring skis. The 164 cm is 133-102-118 mm with an 18 m radius; the 185 cm is 143-108-126 mm with 20 m. Size to your height for all-around use, down one length for tight trees and couloirs, and up one length for open faces and high speeds.
Mount alpine touring bindings, pin-tech or frame; Voile voids the warranty for telemark mounts and quiver-killer inserts. Brakes must clear 99 to 108 mm depending on length, so check brake width against your exact length. Match binding to your boot sole norm. For skins, the tail runs 112 to 126 mm: a 120 mm stock skin covers the 154 and 164 cm, and the 171 cm and longer need 140 mm stock trimmed to the edges.

Compare the Voile HyperCharger
HyperCharger vs. HyperVector
The Voile HyperVector is the narrower sibling, 90 to 98 mm underfoot, with the same Early Rise Camber concept. At 177 cm it weighs 1,285 g per ski with a 96 mm waist, against 1,395 g and 106 mm for the 178 cm HyperCharger. The HyperVector suits firm snow and long climbs; the HyperCharger suits powder and big lines.

HyperCharger vs. HyperDrifter
The Voile HyperDrifter goes wider again, 118 to 124 mm underfoot, and at 178 cm weighs 1,555 g per ski with a 121 mm waist. Choose the HyperDrifter if deep snow is the main event, and the HyperCharger if you want one ski that still carves a firm couloir.
Voile HyperDrifter Alpine Touring Skis
HyperCharger vs. Hyper V6
The Voile Hyper V6 is narrower at 96 to 102 mm, with a Voile Hybrid Rocker profile and a tapered tail for a surfy, pivoting turn, at 1,320 g per ski at 178 cm. The V6 suits tree skiing and playful terrain; the HyperCharger suits skiers who want a directional, carving ski at speed.

Common Questions
Who should buy the Voile HyperCharger?
The Voile HyperCharger suits strong backcountry skiers who want one ski for powder, steep lines, and fast descents. At 99 to 108 mm underfoot depending on length and 1,395 g per ski at 178 cm, the HyperCharger gives up some climbing efficiency to narrower skis in exchange for float and a stable, directional platform.
How much does the Voile HyperCharger weigh?
The Voile HyperCharger weighs 1,395 g per ski at 178 cm. Shorter lengths are lighter and the 185 cm is heavier, since weight scales with length. Voile builds the HyperCharger by hand in Utah and notes that individual skis vary slightly.
Is the Voile HyperCharger an all-mountain ski?
Voile classes the HyperCharger as a big-mountain and powder ski rather than an all-mountain ski. At 104 to 108 mm underfoot from 171 to 185 cm, with a long, directional radius, it is built for steep lines and soft snow. Tourers who spend more days on firm snow will get more from the 90 to 98 mm HyperVector.
What bindings work with the Voile HyperCharger?
Voile designs the HyperCharger for alpine touring bindings, pin-tech or frame. Telemark mounts and quiver-killer inserts void the Voile factory warranty. If your binding uses brakes, choose a brake wider than the waist at your length, 99 to 108 mm across the run. Match binding to your boot sole norm.
What size skins fit the Voile HyperCharger?
Size skins off the tail. The HyperCharger tail measures 112 mm at 154 cm and 118 mm at 164 cm, which fits a 120 mm stock skin. From 171 cm up the tail is 121 to 126 mm, so start from a 140 mm stock skin and trim it to the edges.
Does the Voile HyperCharger hold an edge on firm snow?
Yes, for a ski over 100 mm underfoot. Camber underfoot and a long running length keep steel edge on the snow, and the wide, flat tail supports the end of the turn on ice and debris. The 19.5 m radius at 178 cm rewards a committed, carving turn on steep, firm faces.
Our Verdict
The Voile HyperCharger Alpine Touring Skis are a powerful, directional touring ski for skiers who plan their season around powder and big lines. A waist scaled from 99 to 108 mm floats soft snow, while camber underfoot, a wide flat tail, and a 17.6 to 20 m radius keep the HyperCharger composed on steep, firm faces. At 1,395 g per ski at 178 cm it gives up 110 g per ski to the 177 cm HyperVector, and buys 10 mm more waist and a wider tail for big terrain with that weight.
