A 137-104-121 mm shape at 171 cm carries an early-rise tip and a wide flat tail on an 18.5 m radius, so the descent still arcs rather than pivots, and the molded Traction Pattern base handles the climb back out. At 1,545 g per ski in a 171 the Voile Charger BC is the widest scaled ski Voile builds, and it matches the standard Charger at every length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"ccbb-expert-line\"\u003e\n      \u003cspan class=\"ccbb-expert-badge\"\u003eExpert Review\u003c\/span\u003e\n      \u003cspan\u003eSpecifications verified against the manufacturer catalog for this model year.

A 104 mm waist keeps the Voile Charger BC planing in soft snow at the slow speeds low-angle terrain produces, and the scale base means a short climb back up needs no transition, which is the whole appeal of glade lapping. Length moves the shape as elsewhere in the line, from a 154 at 125-99-112 mm and 1,230 g per ski to a 185 at 143-108-126 mm and 1,755 g per ski.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThe Voile Charger BC takes AT bindings and telemark bindings, and quiver killers void the Voile factory warranty.
