99 to 102 mm Women's Big-Mountain Touring Ski
Voile W HyperCharger Alpine Touring Skis
The Voile W HyperCharger Alpine Touring Skis are a women's ski for tourers who chase powder and steep lines and want a capable daily driver for the rest of the season. At 164 cm, a 102 mm waist and 133 mm shovel give real float on storm days, and an 18 m radius with camber underfoot carves cleanly when the snow firms up. At 1,210 g per ski at 164 cm, built on a paulownia core inside a woven carbon and triaxial fiberglass laminate, the W HyperCharger covers powder tours, couloirs, and big days in the mountains.

Is This the Right Ski for You?

Consider Another Ski If
You mostly tour firm or spring snow and want a lighter, narrower ski, need a length over 164 cm, or ski deep powder almost exclusively.

Why We Like It
- A 99 mm waist on the 154 cm and 102 mm on the 164 cm put the W HyperCharger in powder-touring territory at 1,210 g per ski (164 cm).
- Camber underfoot and a flat 118 mm tail at 164 cm keep the ski composed on steep, firm entrances where a fully rockered powder ski tends to skid.
- The 154 cm carries a 17.6 m radius and the 164 cm an 18 m radius, so both lengths turn readily in trees and still hold a stable arc at speed.
- Voile's anti-ice topsheet, a textured polyamide top layer, keeps wet spring snow from building up on a ski that already starts at 1,210 g per ski (164 cm).
Best Uses
- Powder touring and storm days
- Steep couloirs and chutes
- Daily touring in mixed snow
- Big-mountain days in the backcountry
- Women skiing 154 or 164 cm
Ski Selection Advice
Choose between the two lengths by skier size and terrain. The 154 cm is 125-99-112 mm with a 17.6 m radius, a quick, compact ski for lighter skiers and tight terrain. The 164 cm is 133-102-118 mm with an 18 m radius and more surface area for float, which suits taller or heavier skiers and open powder slopes.
Mount alpine touring bindings, pin-tech or frame; telemark mounts and quiver-killer inserts void the Voile warranty. If you run brakes, they must clear 99 mm on the 154 cm and 102 mm on the 164 cm, which rules out narrow race brakes. Match binding to your boot sole norm. Size skins off the tail: the 112 and 118 mm tails both fit a 120 mm stock skin trimmed to the edges.

W HyperCharger vs. W HyperVector
The Voile W HyperVector runs 90 to 92 mm underfoot and weighs 1,125 g per ski at 164 cm, 85 g lighter than the W HyperCharger. Pick the W HyperVector for firm snow, long distances, and ski mountaineering, and the W HyperCharger when powder and steep lines set the agenda.

W HyperCharger vs. W HyperDrifter
The Voile W HyperDrifter steps up to 112 to 115 mm underfoot with a 149 mm shovel at 164 cm, at 1,300 g per ski. It is the deep-snow specialist; the W HyperCharger is the ski that still carves when the storm cycle ends.

W HyperCharger vs. HyperCharger
The Voile HyperCharger shares the W HyperCharger dimensions and weights at 154 and 164 cm, then continues to 171, 178, and 185 cm at up to 108 mm underfoot. Women who want a ski longer than 164 cm should look at the HyperCharger.

Common Questions
Who should buy the Voile W HyperCharger?
The Voile W HyperCharger suits women who want one touring ski for powder days and steep lines that still works as a daily driver. At 99 to 102 mm underfoot and 1,210 g per ski at 164 cm, the W HyperCharger trades a little climbing efficiency against narrower skis for float and a stable, carving descent.
How much does the Voile W HyperCharger weigh?
The Voile W HyperCharger weighs 1,210 g per ski at 164 cm. The 154 cm is lighter, since weight scales with length. Voile builds the W HyperCharger by hand in Utah and notes that individual skis vary slightly.
Will a 100 mm skin fit the Voile W HyperCharger?
No. Skins size off the tail, not the waist. The W HyperCharger tail measures 112 mm on the 154 cm and 118 mm on the 164 cm, both wider than a 100 mm skin, so start from a 120 mm stock skin and trim it to the edges.
What bindings work with the Voile W HyperCharger?
Voile designs the W HyperCharger for alpine touring bindings, pin-tech or frame. Telemark mounts and quiver-killer inserts void the Voile factory warranty. If you run brakes, they must clear 99 mm on the 154 cm and 102 mm on the 164 cm. Match binding to your boot sole norm.
Is the Voile W HyperCharger a powder ski?
Voile classes the W HyperCharger as a big-mountain and powder ski. The 102 mm waist and 133 mm shovel at 164 cm float well in soft snow, and camber underfoot with a flat tail keeps it useful on firm days, so it works as a powder-leaning everyday ski rather than a deep-snow specialist.
What length Voile W HyperCharger should I choose?
Choose the 154 cm for lighter skiers and tight trees, where its 17.6 m radius and 99 mm waist feel quick. Choose the 164 cm for taller or heavier skiers and open slopes, where the 102 mm waist adds float and the 18 m radius adds stability at speed.
Our Verdict
The Voile W HyperCharger Alpine Touring Skis give women a powder-leaning touring ski that still carves when the snow turns firm. A 99 to 102 mm waist, an early-rise shovel, camber underfoot, and a wide flat tail make the W HyperCharger float on storm days and hold on steep entrances, and 1,210 g per ski at 164 cm keeps the climb reasonable. For women who want one ski for powder, couloirs, and everyday touring at 154 or 164 cm, the W HyperCharger is the right Voile.
