Voile

Charger BC Ski

Leave your skins at home and point it—up and down—with the Voile Charger BC Ski. With the same killer dimensions, sidecut profile, and camber profile as the regular Charger Ski, the Charger BC features a fishscale base pattern that lets you climb moderate and rolling terrain without skins, saving you time and weight when the day calls for low-key climbs or quick laps. You'll still want your mohair for longer, steeper ascents, but you can at least leave them in your pack for most of the day.

Designed with a tip rocker, traditional camber underfoot, and slightly raised tail profile, the Charger BC floats through deep pow, busts through crud, and handles wet, manky snow like a boss, especially at speed. Thanks to its cap construction, lightweight aspen core, and carbon and fiberglass laminates, though, the Charger BC doesn't bog you down on long, epic backcountry tours or struggle when you get into tight spots. Its wide-radius sidecut gives you high-speed stability when you straightline out of a tight chute or scream down big-mountain lines, too, making it seriously unique—how many skis have a nordic-touring-style climbing pattern and can rip big lines with blinking?
