Voile Manti Touring Ski
Skiers who want one ski that smears when the snow is soft and bites when it turns crusty are the reason Voile put the Manti between its two other camber profiles. A 134-102-121 mm shape at 171 cm on a 17 m radius pairs an early-rise tip with a gradual tail rocker, so the ski surfs until it is set on edge and then finishes the turn. At 1,565 g per ski in a 171 the Voile Manti is the poplar build of that shape, damp in broken snow and rated for telemark bindings as well as AT.

Why We Like It
- Voile Hybrid 2.0 sits between the surfy Hybrid Rocker of the V6 and the directional Early Rise Camber of the Charger, with a medium running length that neither of those offers.
- The tail has minimal taper but gradual rocker, so it releases when the ski is flat and holds once decambered, which is the trick that makes one ski work in two kinds of snow.
- Poplar under a single Voile Carbon-Weave layer, carbon fiber bonded into triaxial glass, keeps the ski settled in the cut-up snow that this shape invites skiing fast.
- Fiberglass heel and toe mounting patches make the Voile Manti telemark rated, and the slarving turn character suits a tele turn well.
Best Uses
- Single-ski quivers at 100 mm underfoot
- Mixed soft and firm snow across a season
- Telemark setups on a modern all-mountain shape
- Tree skiing and open faces in the same day
- Resort and sidecountry days on a touring ski
Ski Specialist's Advice
The Voile Manti runs a tighter width spread than most of the line, from 100 mm underfoot at 158 cm to 105 mm at 186 cm, so length mainly buys running length and radius rather than float. A 158 is 130-100-118 mm on a 16 m radius at 1,380 g per ski, and a 186 is 140-105-127 mm on a 19 m radius at 1,820 g per ski. The useful band here is 171 to 181 cm, and the shape tolerates sizing up better than the narrower skis in the line.
The Voile Manti takes AT bindings and telemark bindings, with fiberglass mounting patches supporting the tele option, 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 goes under the binding. Match binding to your boot sole norm, size brakes to the waist at your length from 100 mm at 158 cm to 105 mm at 186 cm, and run skins at a 140 mm stock width for the 118 to 127 mm tail.

Compare the Voile Manti
Voile Manti vs. Voile Hyper Manti
Identical 134-102-121 mm shape and 17 m radius at 171 cm, split by layup. The Voile Manti runs poplar with one Carbon-Weave layer at 1,565 g per ski, the Voile Hyper Manti runs paulownia with two at 1,295 g. Take the Manti for damping and the telemark rating, the Hyper Manti for 270 g per ski less uphill.

The Voile V8 is the wider, softer-tailed powder option at 141-112-123 mm and 1,655 g per ski at 176 cm on the Hybrid Rocker profile. The Voile Manti gives up 10 mm of waist and gains a tail that keeps working on firm snow. Deep-day specialists take the V8; one-ski skiers take the Manti.

The Voile Charger is the directional option at 137-104-121 mm and 1,545 g per ski at 171 cm, with a long running length and a flat tail built to arc. The Voile Manti trades some of that edge hold for a medium running length and a rockered tail that pivots. Turn preference decides, not width.
