Voile W Manti Ace Alpine Touring Skis

The Voile W Manti Ace Alpine Touring Skis are a women's all-mountain and powder ski for tourers who want one ski that floats storm snow, carves when it firms up, and accepts either an alpine touring or a telemark setup. A 102 mm waist and 134 mm shovel at 171 cm give the ski a loose, surfy feel in soft snow, and camber underfoot with a 17 m radius lets it carve decisively once you tip it on edge. Built on a paulownia core with a maple mounting patch under the binding and a continuous sidewall, the W Manti Ace suits powder tours, everyday backcountry laps, and resort days on a touring setup.

Why We Like It

  • A maple mounting patch, a strip of dense hardwood set into the paulownia core under the binding, gives binding screws solid wood to hold, and Voile lists both telemark and tech mounting for the W Manti Ace.
  • A continuous TPU sidewall, a tough plastic running the length of the ski, adds edge support and impact resistance that a full-cap layup gives up.
  • Early rise in the tip and a gradual tail rocker let the ski smear in soft snow, while camber underfoot takes over when you put it on edge.
  • Widths scale with length, from 130-100-118 mm at 158 cm to 134-102-121 mm at 171 cm, so each size keeps its proportions.

Best Uses

  • Powder touring and storm days
  • Everyday backcountry laps in mixed snow
  • Telemark or alpine touring setups
  • Tree skiing and open glades
  • Resort days on a touring setup

Ski Selection Advice

Choose length by skier size and terrain. The 158 cm runs 130-100-118 mm with a 16 m radius and suits lighter skiers and tight trees. The 165 cm and 171 cm share a 17 m radius and grow to 132-101-120 mm and 134-102-121 mm, adding float and stability for taller or heavier skiers and open slopes.

The W Manti Ace takes alpine touring or telemark bindings, and the maple mounting patch underfoot supports either. Mounting quiver-killer inserts voids the Voile factory warranty. If your binding carries a brake, choose one wider than the waist, which reaches 102 mm on the 171 cm. Match the binding to your boot sole norm. We size skins off the tail: the 118 and 120 mm tails on the 158 and 165 cm take 120 mm stock, and the 121 mm tail on the 171 cm takes 140 mm stock.

Compare the Voile W Manti Ace

Common Questions

Who should buy the Voile W Manti Ace?
The Voile W Manti Ace suits women who tour for soft snow and mixed conditions and want one ski for powder, trees, and everyday laps. At 100 to 102 mm underfoot with camber and an early-rise tip, it floats storm snow and carves when the snow firms up.
Can I mount telemark bindings on the Voile W Manti Ace?
Yes. Voile lists telemark and tech mounting options for the W Manti Ace, and the maple mounting patch underfoot gives binding screws dense wood to hold. Mounting quiver-killer inserts is the setup that voids the Voile warranty.
What bindings work with the Voile W Manti Ace?
The Voile W Manti Ace takes alpine touring bindings, pin-tech or frame, and telemark bindings. If your binding carries a brake, choose one wider than the waist at your length: 100 mm at 158 cm, 101 mm at 165 cm, and 102 mm at 171 cm. Match the binding to your boot sole norm.
How is the Voile W Manti Ace different from the Hyper skis?
The Voile W Manti Ace uses a partial cap with a continuous TPU sidewall and a maple mounting patch, where the Hyper skis use a full cap. The sidewall adds edge support and durability, and Voile lists telemark mounting for the W Manti Ace while a telemark mount voids the warranty on the Hyper skis. The Hyper skis are built to be lighter.
What length Voile W Manti Ace should I choose?
Choose the 158 cm for lighter skiers and tight trees, where its 16 m radius helps. The 165 cm and 171 cm share a 17 m radius and add width and float for taller or heavier skiers and open terrain.
What skins fit the Voile W Manti Ace?
We size skins off the tail. The 158 cm and 165 cm Voile W Manti Ace, with 118 mm and 120 mm tails, take 120 mm stock. The 171 cm tail is 121 mm, so start from 140 mm stock and trim to the edges.

Our Verdict

The Voile W Manti Ace Alpine Touring Skis are a durable, versatile women's touring ski for skiers who value a sidewall build and binding choice over the lowest possible weight. A 100 to 102 mm waist floats soft snow, camber underfoot carves when the snow firms, and a maple mounting patch sits under either an alpine touring or a telemark setup. Skiers who put climbing weight first should look at the Hyper line, and for everyday soft-snow touring the Voile W Manti Ace is a dependable choice.
