Voile Drifter Skis

Get ready for an entirely new skiing experience that will be like no other...

Combining the progressive powder-ski concept of rockered, tapered tips and tapered tails with traditional side-cut 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 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 and take em' anywhere. It's all about an adventure and Voile understand adventure more than most!

What, No Mental-Health Inspired Name? Even if Voile is losing it, the Drifter could be the biggest thing to hit the backcountry this year. Literally. It's monstrous. "A devil in a blue dress" one tester said. " Floats like an iceberg, but slices and dices when necessary." The economically priced and USA-made Drifter's tip and tail are rockered and tapered for float, but traditional sidecut underfoot provides traction between faceshots. Testers preferred the aspen-cored Drifter in longer radius turns at higher speeds, but with plenty of slashability and smearability, it's a capable mount; "Whatever kind of turn you want to try," according to a Colorado tester. Another added, "There's not much this ski won't do." A third summed it up: "Effortless, surfy, fun and innovative."
