82 mm Ski Mountaineering Ski

Voile Endeavor Touring Ski

Skiers whose objectives are measured in vertical rather than in fresh centimetres should start with the Voile Endeavor Touring Ski. A 115-82-99 mm shape at 171 cm gives a long running length and a low-taper tail on an 18.5 m radius, which is what holds an edge on the frozen morning traverse that gets you to the line. At 1,357 g per ski in a 171 the Voile Endeavor is the poplar build of Voile's narrowest alpine touring shape, damper than a carbon race ski and rated for telemark bindings.

Is This the Right Ski for You?

Best For
Ski mountaineers and spring tourers who want 82 mm underfoot with edge hold and poplar damping, for long approaches, firm snow and technical descents.
Consider Another Ski If
You ski powder more often than corn, want float from width rather than from technique, or need the lowest possible weight for big vertical days.

Why We Like It

  • At 82 mm underfoot with camber and a long running length, the Voile Endeavor puts more edge per gram on the snow than any wider ski in the line, which is the whole point on a refrozen traverse.
  • Poplar rather than paulownia gives the ski mass a carbon race ski does not have, and that mass is what keeps a narrow ski from skittering on boilerplate.
  • Fiberglass heel and toe mounting patches make the Voile Endeavor telemark rated, which is unusual in a ski this narrow and light.
  • Voile builds a dedicated 85 mm Hyper Glide skin for the Endeavor, so there is a purpose-cut option rather than only trimming down wider stock.

Best Uses

  • Ski mountaineering and technical descents
  • Spring corn and refrozen morning snow
  • Long approaches and big vertical days
  • Telemark and light tech setups
  • Skiers who value edge hold over float

Ski Specialist's Advice

The Voile Endeavor spans a lot of ski across its run: a 157 is 108-78-94 mm and a 184 is 119-86-104 mm, with weight from 1,081 g per ski to 1,465 g per ski. On a narrow ski that width change matters more proportionally than it does on a 100 mm shape, so a 157 is a genuinely skinny mountaineering tool while a 184 reads as a firm-snow all-rounder. Most ski mountaineers land between 164 and 178 cm.

The Voile Endeavor takes AT bindings and telemark bindings, and quiver killers void the Voile factory warranty. Boot center is marked on the topsheet with a Voile chart per size, so no reinforcing plate is needed. Match binding to your boot sole norm and size brakes to the waist at your length, 78 mm at 157 cm to 86 mm at 184 cm. Voile offers a dedicated 85 mm Hyper Glide skin for this ski; cutting from stock instead means a 120 mm width to cover the 94 to 104 mm tail. Ski crampons belong in the pack on a ski aimed at frozen mornings.

Compare the Voile Endeavor

Voile Endeavor vs. Voile Endeavor BC

One shape, one poplar layup, and the same published weight at each of the five lengths. The Voile Endeavor BC molds a Traction Pattern scale base underfoot for skin-free travel on gentle ground, and gives up glide for it. Skiers whose days are climb-then-descend take the Voile Endeavor.

Voile Endeavor vs. Voile Vector

The Voile Vector is 12 mm wider at 127-94-111 mm and 1,405 g per ski at 171 cm, on the same Early Rise Camber profile. That extra width buys real soft-snow capability for 48 g per ski. The Voile Endeavor is the narrower, quicker-edging choice when the season is mostly firm.

Shop Voile Vector skis

Voile Endeavor vs. Voile HyperVector

Two very different routes to a light ski. The Voile HyperVector is 94 mm underfoot at 1,215 g per ski at 171 cm, using paulownia and doubled carbon to get there. The Voile Endeavor gets to 1,357 g by being narrow instead, keeping a poplar core and the damping that comes with it.

Common Questions

Who should buy the Voile Endeavor?
The Voile Endeavor suits ski mountaineers and spring tourers whose descents are usually firm. At 82 mm underfoot at 171 cm with a long running length, a low-taper tail and an 18.5 m radius, it holds an edge where wider skis skitter, and the poplar core damps more than a carbon race ski. Powder-first skiers should look at the V6 or the Manti.
How much does the Voile Endeavor weigh?
The Voile Endeavor weighs 1,081 g per ski at 157 cm, 1,202 g at 164 cm, 1,357 g at 171 cm, 1,420 g at 178 cm and 1,465 g at 184 cm. Voile publishes odd-numbered pair weights for this article, so each per-ski figure is a halved pair weight rounded to the nearest gram.
Why is the 157 cm turn radius listed at 14 m?
Because that is what Voile publishes, and it does not fit the rest of the run, so it is worth flagging rather than smoothing over. The published radii run 14 m at 157 cm, 18 m at 164 cm, 18.5 m at 171 cm, 19.5 m at 178 cm and 21 m at 184 cm. A 4 m drop between the two shortest lengths is far larger than the sidecut change between them suggests. We publish the manufacturer figure and have flagged the 157 for confirmation; treat it as unconfirmed if you are buying that length for its radius.
What bindings work with the Voile Endeavor?
The Voile Endeavor takes AT bindings, including pin/tech touring bindings, and telemark bindings, supported by the fiberglass heel and toe mounting patches. Quiver killers void the Voile factory warranty. A standard mount needs no reinforcing plate. Match binding to your boot sole norm, and size any brakes to the waist at the length you buy, 78 mm at 157 cm through 86 mm at 184 cm.
What length Voile Endeavor should I ski?
The practical band is 164 to 178 cm. The shape moves a lot across the run for a narrow ski, from 108-78-94 mm at 157 cm to 119-86-104 mm at 184 cm, so the short end is a dedicated mountaineering tool and the long end works as a firm-snow all-rounder.
How does the Voile Endeavor handle powder?
It gets down powder rather than enjoying it. An 82 mm waist and a 115 mm shovel at 171 cm need speed or technique to plane, and the long running length wants to track. Skiers who see soft snow regularly should buy something wider and keep the Endeavor for spring.
What skins fit the Voile Endeavor?
Voile makes a dedicated 85 mm Hyper Glide skin for the Endeavor, in tail-clip and tailless versions, which is the simplest answer. Cutting from generic stock instead means a 120 mm width, because the tail measures 94 mm at 157 cm up to 104 mm at 184 cm and 100 mm stock would fall short at the longer lengths.

Our Verdict

The Voile Endeavor Touring Ski is the narrow end of Voile's alpine touring line and the ski for a season built around vertical. A 115-82-99 mm shape at 171 cm on an 18.5 m radius keeps a long running length and a low-taper tail, which is what grips a frozen traverse, and the poplar core with one Voile Carbon-Weave layer gives it damping a carbon race ski gives up. At 1,357 g per ski in a 171 it is light without being fragile, and Voile rates it for telemark bindings. Anyone who sees powder more often than corn should buy something wider.
