82 mm Ultralight Scaled-Base Mountaineering Ski

Voile Hyper Endeavor BC Touring Ski

Skiers chasing distance and vertical in the same day, who want the scales without the weight that usually comes with them, are the case for the Voile Hyper Endeavor BC Touring Ski. A 115-82-99 mm shape at 171 cm on an 18.5 m radius keeps the long running length and low-taper tail that grip frozen traverses, and the molded Traction Pattern base handles gentle climbs and flats with nothing on the bases. At 1,050 g per ski in a 171 the Voile Hyper Endeavor BC is the lightest ski in this catalog from Voile, scaled or not.

Is This the Right Ski for You?

Best For
Ski mountaineers and long-distance tourers who want skin-free travel on gentle ground at the lowest weight Voile offers, with firm-snow edge hold on the descent.
Consider Another Ski If
You ski soft snow regularly, want the damping of the poplar build, or plan to mount telemark or nordic bindings, which void the warranty on Hyper Series skis.

Why We Like It

  • At 1,050 g per ski in a 171 the Voile Hyper Endeavor BC sits 307 g per ski under the poplar Endeavor BC, and it is the lightest ski Voile builds in this catalog with or without scales.
  • A paulownia wood core under two Voile Carbon-Weave layers keeps torsional stiffness in a narrow ski, which is what stops a light 82 mm shape folding when it is set on edge on hard snow.
  • The scale base on a narrow ski is the most efficient version of the idea: less base area dragging on the glide, and no transition for the gentle half of a day.
  • Voile prints the limit on the page itself, noting the Traction Pattern base does not remove the need to carry skins, which is more candour than most scaled skis get.

Best Uses

  • Ski mountaineering with long flat approaches
  • Glacier travel and multi-day traverses
  • Skimo-adjacent distance days
  • Skiers running light pin/tech touring bindings
  • Spring corn and refrozen descents

Ski Specialist's Advice

This is a three-length run: 164, 171 and 178 cm, at 112-80-97 mm on an 18 m radius, 115-82-99 mm on 18.5 m and 117-84-102 mm on 19.5 m, weighing 950, 1,050 and 1,135 g per ski. At these weights sizing up is almost free on the climb, and the longer length glides better across the flats the scales exist for, so most skiers should take the 171 or 178 rather than sizing down.

Voile builds the Hyper Series for AT bindings, and mounting telemark bindings or quiver killers on the Voile Hyper Endeavor BC voids the Voile factory warranty, which also rules out the nordic and three-pin options the poplar Endeavor BC accepts. Use the boot center mark on the topsheet, which Voile charts for all three lengths, and leave out the plate. Match binding to your boot sole norm, size brakes to the waist at your length from 80 mm at 164 cm to 84 mm at 178 cm, and carry skins, either Voile's dedicated 85 mm Hyper Glide or a 120 mm stock cut down. Ski crampons are worth the grams on a ski this focused on firm mornings.

Common Questions

Who should buy the Voile Hyper Endeavor BC?
The Voile Hyper Endeavor BC suits ski mountaineers and distance tourers whose days include long stretches of flat or rolling travel and who count every gram. At 82 mm underfoot at 171 cm and 1,050 g per ski, it is the lightest ski Voile builds in this catalog, and the scale base removes transitions on the gentle ground.
How much does the Voile Hyper Endeavor BC weigh?
The Voile Hyper Endeavor BC weighs 950 g per ski at 164 cm, 1,050 g at 171 cm and 1,135 g at 178 cm. Voile publishes these as pair weights, so a figure quoted without a length is incomplete, and hand-built skis vary from pair to pair.
Is this ski the Objective or the Hyper Endeavor BC?
It is the Hyper Endeavor BC, article 5220, and the confusion is on the manufacturer's side. The ski was sold as the Objective and Voile's page still carries reviews written under that name, alongside copy comparing it to the WSP and UltraVector, neither of which is in the current line. The specification table and part numbers say Hyper Endeavor BC, and that is what we publish.
What bindings work with the Voile Hyper Endeavor BC?
The Voile Hyper Endeavor BC is built for AT bindings, including pin/tech touring bindings, and takes a standard mount without a reinforcing plate. Mounting telemark bindings or quiver killers on a Hyper Series ski voids the Voile factory warranty, which also rules out the nordic and three-pin classes the poplar Endeavor BC accepts. Match binding to your boot sole norm and size any brakes to the waist, 80 mm at 164 cm up to 84 mm at 178 cm.
What length Voile Hyper Endeavor BC should I ski?
The run is only 164, 171 and 178 cm. At 950 to 1,135 g per ski the whole run is light enough that sizing up costs almost nothing on the climb, and the longer lengths glide better on the flats the scale base is built for, so most skiers should take the 171 or the 178.
Can the scales replace skins on this ski?
No, and Voile prints that on the product page rather than leaving it implied. The Traction Pattern base handles gentle climbs, rolling terrain and traverses, and gives out on cold dry snow, refrozen crust and anything sustained. Plan on carrying skins and treat the scales as the tool that saves transitions rather than weight in the pack.
What skins fit the Voile Hyper Endeavor BC?
Voile makes a dedicated 85 mm Hyper Glide skin for this shape, in tail-clip and tailless versions. Cutting from generic stock means a 120 mm width to cover a tail measuring 97 mm at 164 cm up to 102 mm at 178 cm. Adhesive holds over the scale pattern without trouble.

Our Verdict

The Voile Hyper Endeavor BC Touring Ski is the specialist at the far end of Voile's line: narrow, scaled and lighter than anything else in this catalog at 1,050 g per ski in a 171. The molded Traction Pattern base removes transitions on gentle and rolling ground, and the 115-82-99 mm shape at 171 cm on an 18.5 m radius keeps enough running length and tail to hold a frozen traverse. A paulownia core under two Voile Carbon-Weave layers gets it 307 g per ski under the poplar Endeavor BC. Soft snow and telemark bindings are both out of scope, and Voile is upfront that the scales do not let you leave skins at home.
