Tech Update! Voile Splitboard Touring Bracket Loses Weight.


Voile's backcountry product focus has driven us to obsession when it comes to light weight. Yet another example of this obsession is illustrated below.

Voile is now including a new lighter weight splitboard touring bracket with the Voile Mojo splitboard. Without any compromise in durability, we have shaved off a scant 14 grams per pair. (Smile)

Tech Update! Voile Slider Track for splitboard improved.


To increase the durability of the Voile Slider Track, we have added material to the stop tab at the back of the Slider Track. This will prevent any long term wear, as it bears the full weight of the user in each step they take while skinning uphill. The stop tab also performs the function of providing a stop and precise fit of the Slider Track when sliding over the adjustable pucks for the ride mode of the splitboard.

Above shows how the Voile Slider Track stop tab fits into the Voile Heel Pad of the splitboard.
This improvement is available on all Voile Slider Tracks produced for this season.

Riders Love the Mojo!



The 2010 Backcountry Magazine Gear Guide drives home why riders love the all mountain performance of the Voile Mojo splitboard. Voile-USA is the longest running splitboard manufacturer in the market and pioneered today's reliable splitboard hardware interface.


"Sized for Men and Women, the Mojo cast a spell on testers this year. It dominated in powder, earning high marks for ease of turn initiation with the same directional shape, dimensions, and traditional camber as last year. Testers of both sexes succumbed to the Mojo's magic: "Springy, sprightly; picks its way down steep slopes, and is most responsive to short radius turns," a female tester said. "Still gets the Mojo flowin ' in wide-open pow." A male tester found: "The Mojo is light underfoot and has a smooth torsional flex" it's tough to beat for technical terrian, where quick, reliable turns are a necessity." - 2010 Backcountry Magazine Gear Guide.

Voile Drifter backcountry skis, Backcountry Magazine Editor's Choice!


Backcountry Magazine recently named the new Voile Drifter hybrid rocker skis an Editor's Choice.

Get ready for an entirely new skiing experience.

Combining the progressive powder-ski concept of rockered and tapered tips and tails with traditional side-cut and camber under foot, the Voile Drifter is stable and easy to ski in conditions ranging from the deepest powder to the most difficult wind slab. The traditional side-cut and camber under foot allows you to carve with confidence on firm snow you might find on your way back to the lift or on the exit of a difficult ski tour. Add Voile's signature lightweight ski construction and you won't be afraid to put skins on these boards.

Be assured, your skiing experience will never be the same.

Tech Update! Voile Switchback toe-plate improved.


We have improved the Voile Switchback telemark touring binding toe-plate with some minor dimensional changes and a new more durable 410 heat-treated stainless steel.

The Switchback toe-plate is so tough, we are backing it up with a new 2 year warranty.

After 2 years on our customer's feet and with many backcountry miles, the Switchback has proven to be the most reliable, lightweight, and ice-free telemark touring binding on the snow.

We invite you to compare the Voile Switchback with any of our competitor's bindings as we are confident you will see the superior design and benefits of the Switchback.
