~Voile Says~ 

More power. Less weight. The Charger name has been a part of the Voile ski-line since 2011. The new Voile HyperCharger, however, has evolved into something quite different from what was released years ago.

This latest iteration brings significantly reduced weight when compared to the Voile SuperCharger. This is accomplished by starting at the core. We’ve switched from poplar to paulownia for the HyperCharger. The strength-to-weight ratio of paulownia is renowned, but it is a bit softer than poplar, so we’ve doubled the amount of carbon fiber in the layup to compensate for this while still maintaining the weight savings.

The HyperCharger is classed as a big-mountain ski. It’s a directional “carving” ski with an edge-to-edge feel, capable of big lines as well as daily driving. It features minimal taper and a wider hard-working tail for control in debris and harder conditions. The generous width, early-rise tip and wide shovel provide excellent float in powder. A long running length with less sidecut provides for strong edging ability when driving fast and steep.

There is a fine line between weight savings and performance. The Voile HyperCharger rides that line as nicely as it dices narrow couloirs, rips wide-open aprons and dances through powder-filled tree lines: really, really well.
