Voile Hyper V6 BC Alpine Touring Skis

The Voile Hyper V6 BC Alpine Touring Skis are for backcountry skiers whose tours roll through meadows, forest roads, and gentle ridgelines before the real climbing starts, and who want a surfy, forgiving ski for the way down. A Traction Pattern scale base underfoot grips for kick and glide on easy grades without skins, while a 99 mm waist and 18.5 m radius at 178 cm on a hybrid rocker keep the ski loose and easy to steer in trees. At 1,340 g per ski in a 178, on a paulownia core wrapped in two layers of carbon and fiberglass weave, the Hyper V6 BC fits long-approach tours, hut routes, and mellow powder days in rolling terrain.

Why We Like It

  • The Traction Pattern sits only underfoot, so the scales grip when the ski is weighted and flat while the tip and tail keep a smooth sintered base for the descent.
  • Voile gives the Hyper V6 BC the same shape as the smooth-base Hyper V6 at every length, from 126-96-108 mm at 163 cm to 133-100-113 mm at 183 cm.
  • A hybrid rocker with a wide shovel and a tapered, rockered tail makes the ski easy to pivot in tight trees and forgiving in variable snow.
  • Full-contact steel edges with inset teeth and a full cap keep a 1,340 g ski (178 cm) durable enough for rocky approaches and thin early-season cover.

Best Uses

  • Long approaches on forest roads and meadows
  • Hut routes over rolling terrain
  • Mellow powder tours with short climbs and dips
  • Tree skiing in soft snow
  • Days that mix kick and glide with short skin climbs

Ski Selection Advice

The scale base earns its place on terrain too gentle for skins and too long to skate. On steep climbs you still put skins on, and Voile notes that the scales add some drag on the descent. Length choice follows the Hyper V6: the radius grows from 17.0 m at 163 cm to 19.0 m at 183 cm and the waist from 96 mm to 100 mm, so shorter lengths are quicker in trees and longer lengths float and settle better in open terrain.

Voile designs the Hyper V6 BC for alpine touring bindings, and a telemark or quiver-killer mount voids the Voile factory warranty. If your binding carries a brake, choose one wider than the waist at your length, which reaches 100 mm on the 183 cm. Match the binding to your boot sole norm. We size skins off the tail: the 108 to 113 mm tails take 120 mm stock, trimmed to the edges.

Compare the Voile Hyper V6 BC

Hyper V6 BC vs. Voile Hyper V6

The Voile Hyper V6 shares the same shape and hybrid rocker at every length with a fully smooth sintered base. Choose the Hyper V6 when your tours climb on skins from the car and you want the cleanest glide on the descent, and the Hyper V6 BC when the day starts with miles of rolling ground.

Hyper V6 BC vs. Voile HyperVector BC

The Voile HyperVector BC carries the same Traction Pattern scales on a narrower, more directional ski, 96 mm underfoot at 177 cm with camber and a long running length, at 1,290 g per ski at 177 cm. Pick the HyperVector BC for firm snow and long carving descents, and the Hyper V6 BC for trees and soft snow.

Hyper V6 BC vs. Fischer S Bound 98

The Fischer S Bound 98 is a nordic touring ski, 98-69-88 mm with a fishscale base, built for nordic bindings and lighter boots. It covers flat and rolling ground faster, while the Hyper V6 BC takes alpine touring bindings and skis real descents. Choose on whether the day is mostly travel or mostly turns.

Common Questions

Who should buy the Voile Hyper V6 BC?
The Voile Hyper V6 BC suits tourers whose routes start with rolling approaches, forest roads, or meadow travel and who want a playful ski for soft snow on the way down. The scale base handles gentle grades without skins, and the 99 mm waist at 178 cm with a hybrid rocker turns easily in trees.
How does the scale base on the Voile Hyper V6 BC work?
The Traction Pattern is a scaled section of the base underfoot. When the ski is flat and weighted the scales grip, and when you slide the ski forward they glide, so you can kick and glide up gentle grades without stopping to put on skins. Steeper climbs still call for skins.
What bindings work with the Voile Hyper V6 BC?
Voile designs the Hyper V6 BC for alpine touring bindings, and a telemark or quiver-killer mount voids the Voile factory warranty. A brake must clear the waist at your length, from 96 mm at 163 cm to 100 mm at 183 cm. Match the binding to your boot sole norm.
Does the scale base slow the Voile Hyper V6 BC down on the descent?
Some. Voile notes that the scales add drag on the descent, and the difference shows most when the ski runs flat on a long traverse or runout. On edge in a turn the ski behaves like the smooth-base Hyper V6, since the shape and profile are the same.
How much does the Voile Hyper V6 BC weigh?
The Voile Hyper V6 BC weighs 1,150 g per ski at 163 cm, 1,265 g at 173 cm, 1,340 g at 178 cm, and 1,415 g at 183 cm. Voile hand-builds each ski, so small variation is normal.
What skins fit the Voile Hyper V6 BC?
We size skins off the tail. The Voile Hyper V6 BC tail runs 108 to 113 mm across the four lengths, so 120 mm stock trimmed to the edges covers every size.

Our Verdict

The Voile Hyper V6 BC Alpine Touring Skis solve the long, rolling approach without giving up a fun descent. Traction Pattern scales underfoot handle gentle ground without skins, the hybrid rocker and 96 to 100 mm waist keep the ski loose in trees and soft snow, and the 178 cm weighs 1,340 g per ski. Skiers who climb straight from the car should take the smooth-base Hyper V6, and for meadow approaches, hut routes, and rolling ridgelines the Voile Hyper V6 BC is the better fit.
