MOUNTAINEERING DIRECTIONAL / CARVING Inspired by skimo racing, the latest members of our ski family place an emphasis on fast ascents and long-distance travel. They reside somewhere between our WSP and UltraVector skis.Witness the new Voile Objective.Equally at home atop The Haute Route or on a long jaunt in The Catskills, these skis are light enough to go the distance and stiff enough to hold an edge on boilerplate. They won&&';;t exactly shine in deep powder, but many an East Coast skier will likely press them into service at their local ski resort.And as for the Voile Traction Pattern Base, you already know the deal with that, right?*The Traction Pattern base does not eliminate the need to carry skins. SHAPE / PROFILE EARLY-RISE CAMBER Tip: Early-rise tip and wide shovel provide excellent float in powder.Tail: Minimal taper, with a wide and flat hard-working tail for control in debris and harder conditions.Waist: Long running length. Engineered for strong edging ability when fast and steep. Cambered underfoot for stability. CONSTRUCTION PAULOWNIA / DOUBLE CARBON / BC Ultralight construction shaves weight for easier ascents, with an additional layer of carbon for added stiffness. Traction Pattern "BC" scalebase has been included underfoot to allow for fewer transitions when traversing rolling terrain. DIMENSIONS * Please note that the width and radius of Voile skis differ from length to length, so as to deliver uniform performance across the entire size range.** Weights may vary slightly from one pair to another due to environmental factors, and by nature of the fact that they are made by hand.
