New Voile V8 Skis at the 2013 SIA show - VIDEO

    We visited the Voile booth at the SIA show a few weeks back and they were happy to show off next seasons Voile V8 Skis. The V8 skis utilize light weight construction to make these a dedicated backcountry ski with a wide shovel, tapered tail and tighter contact points than other skis in the line up. We skied on the Voile V8's at the SIA on hill demo and we can confirm that they do have a good turning radius however without any pow to ski them in we are looking forward to some additional testing to see how well they perform for backcountry skiers. The price point is $625 with availability starting next fall.


    Check out the video for an up close look:
